What to be...

Okay, this may be simple and sweet.  (Or unsweet if I bore my readers).
My mom filled out a school year by year book for me.  I remember reading it again and again.  I wanted to be a mommy and a nurse at a young age.  (My mother had put this in the book). Then as I got older, I did not want to be a mommy. (Some of it was fear of childbirth, and maybe also knowing I would have to take care of a child).  I later decided that writer, and possibly an English teacher is what I wanted to be.
I DID take a CNA class after high school.  I got the certificate for nursing.  I did not use it however.  I went to Lakeland College for a while.  I did not decide on a major- undecided in Associates of Arts is what I pursued.  I thought of going into journalism,  I had been accepted to EIU in Charleston.  I never went.  I guess I just was too unsure of myself.
  I met Andy, I didn't seem to be unsure about him.  When he asked me to marry him, I said yes.    I would have to move to Indianapolis where he was attending ITT tech.  I was unsure about that of course.
Look at me now though.  I have been happily married for 12 years this year, Andy and I have 4 beautiful daughters. WOW!  Way back when, I could  hardly imagine that I would have any of this.  God has been so good!  I used to be unsure if I would get married or if someone could even love me! 
   I have wondered about writing.  I have wrote a few things here and there.  Well, writing a blog IS writing.  Something I have THOUGHT about for years.
