This is my first post. So forgive me if it stinks.

When I was young, I thought life would be way different than it actually turned out. In my head, I would go to a 4 year college, maybe even farther than that. I would be single and live in a swanky apartment. Go out with great guys for drinks. Maybe have a cat. And I was also extremely beautiful, with great hair. Then I would marry in my late 20's early 30's, have 2 or more kids and live happily ever after. Sounds like a movie right???
Well, I watch a ton of movies.

Anyway, It did not go like that. I was so sick of school by my Junior year. I actually switched schools for my senior year (Mom was pissed because they had spent loads of money over the years sending me to private schools only for me to abandon that for a public school diploma)  so that I could graduate in January. Then by February I was enrolled in Cosmetology school. (basically, I wanted to be done with school as soon as possible, and beauty school is only 1 year). Fell in love with a guy, moved out of my mom's house into his mom's house. They were both neat freaks (but I do know how to clean from them) so that didn't work out. He eventually tore my heart out.
At some point in there I got my first job at a salon in Indianapolis. (2 hours away from home) My aunt lived near the salon and had pretty much got me the job. I stayed with her for a few months, before moving in with a man I had only been dating a month or so. (Teenage rebellion? I think I was just sick of my aunt) And that's when my not so much drama life went into overdrive!!

I ended up marrying that man. We will pick up later on the story of my life. Because it gets way crazier. But I feel like my new found friends will understand me more if I start from the beginning. A lot has happened in my 26 years. And I feel strong and happy for it.
