I've
been thinking on this one all day, how does one sum up a life in 250 words or
less? I'm daunted. I waiver between thinking my life cannot
possible be condensed down to that and being convinced that my life is not
interesting enough for 250 words. So here goes:
My
life is a lucky whirlwind.
I
was born on the east coast, to lovely parents who are, luckily, still alive and
well in my childhood home. Growing up was uneventful and easy. Not a whole lot of drama there that I
don’t look back on and realize I created for myself. Teenagers!
College
enabled me to move from my hometown and I haven't looked back since (well maybe
a little, thank you FB!). I had visions of being a great...something.
I knew what I liked to do but I was not sure how I was going to make a
living at it without taking all of the joy out of it.
While
in college, studying Photography, I met my fantastic husband, who up until we
had our children was, the single best thing that ever happened to me. Hopelessly
in love, we moved 2000 miles away and settled for a time in the mountains of
the southwest, where both of our amazing daughters were born. Promptly
after our youngest was born we moved north to ID, we didn’t like it so we moved
back for a bit. And then we moved,
again, further into the Southwest for a spell. We have settled in the Rocky Mountains and I love it. Each time we moved (ten times in twelve years)I learned a little
bit more about myself and how to appreciate what I have. I am lucky to be living the life I
live here in the Rockies. Even if
it’s snowing on the first of May!
I
love being my husband’s partner, and my children’s mother. Both roles have, and will continue to
teach me more about myself than I would ever care to know! I may not be the best at either, but I
am pretty great at trying.
