Here I am at work counting down my last 60 minutes. I have had quite a bit of time to reflect on just about everything that has been going on.
Lately life has been a little weird for me. In my whole life I have seen must of my friends and family take the paved path that is set before them. I always I thought I would too, graduate, get married, find the job of my dreams, and have a family etc. However, I have gotten way off track. At first this used to bug me a little bit, I don't like surprises or not knowing what's coming next. I like things to be safe and predictable, however life has been so much the opposite lately.
Never in my life did I envision myself living in Ohio, going back to school, or working interesting jobs...But here I am...I am off that paved path and I am off-roading it!
I may not be married, I may not be working the jobs I am most qualified for, and I may seem like I am out wandering around without a plan or map. BUT, I am doing the best I can, maybe I will find a shortcut to the final destination, or maybe I will have a few detours along the way. Either way this is MY life and I am only going to live up to MY expectations.
I am starting to realize my path may be a little dirty, scary, bumpy, and often times a little bit lonely. But I am embracing it and learning it is just fabulous!

I'm glad you are embracing it, Amanda! I think you will find that a lot of people wish they could "off-road," but feel trapped on the paved path once they get married or have kids... I'm glad you found something interesting to go back to school for--it can be very hard to go back to school once you get established in the working world! I'm proud of you!
