Not quite what I pictured...


Here I am in South Dakota....when I thought I'd be well on my way to California. Here I am getting ready for a real winter... when I thought I'd be heading to the beach in a week. Here I am starting to live in the real world.... and wishing that it hadn't come so fast.


Life is good. But it is most definitely not what I pictured it being like just days and months ago.


I am learning more now than ever that I do not have the say-so for where my life goes.

This is so exciting !!!

Life takes turns that we just never see coming.


I never seen myself living out my life in South Dakota. We lived in Wisconsin 17 years ago. We moved back to SD when I was not ready to whatsoever. I was content in WI and loved living there but alas we would not have met your family if we were still there.......

Welcome to blogging!!

I know that life doesn't always seem to work out the way you expect it to. Sometimes it is for the better even if we don't see it at the time. I would say that the South Dakota weather isn't really that bad, but unfortunately I heard on the radio that we are supposed to have rain mixed with snow today so I'm kinda bummed!! Sorry!!
