WOW moment

So, it has just been that kind of week! You know the kind where you don't really remember what you ate for dinner the night before, the laundry has somehow multiplied into a mountain, you suddenly realize that it is Friday and you've yet to write your paper that is due Tuesday....yes that kind of week. I found out on Monday morning that I will be going on my first out-of-state business trip for my job, marketing for my company in the Lake Charles, Louisiana area. Am I nervous? Extremely. Am I excited? Yes!! This job has definitely had its ups and downs but sitting here last night all I kept thinking was WOW. 

I NEVER thought I would have this life. I have dreamed of it for..I don't know..forever! I have a wonderful husband and marriage. For those who don't already know, I've known my husband since pre-school. We've been friends almost since birth :) To say he is my best friend just doesn't seem strong enough. He is the most loving, kind, hilarious, handsome, smart, sensitive, amazing, talented man. He is a provider and is truly the kind of man that I prayed for all my life and God loved me enough to give me that man! I have the kind of job that most college graduates hope to get, but amazingly they hired me knowing I was still earning my degree. We have a house that is our home and if we never move again we will be completely content. We are BLESSED. Blessed beyond anything we ever deserved, and we thank God everyday for giving us this life. And now, here I am, a 25 year old business student/ marketing & provider relations representative fixing to board her first airplane for a strange city without my hubby or my mom, to walk into places I've never even heard of for a whole WEEK. Again I say WOW. 

 I don't want this post to sound boastful-that's not what it is about at all. It's basically to show that a small town girl, who never thought she would make it in a business world, has made it one step closer to her dream. Not without a lot of hard work.Not without patience. Not without a lot of sacrifices and tears along the way. And not without the encouragement and love from family and friends. It makes me thankful for a mountain of laundry, for unwritten comm papers and for a husband singing Jason Aldean at the top of his lungs in his office at 10pm. I am thankful for the struggles, for the growing pains, and for all the things that have brought me to this place. Excited for the the things that are still to come. Find a quite place and reflect on everything good in your life. Whether it be career, family, whatever. I promise you will find that there is always something to be thankful for. Maybe you will have a WOW moment too:)

With Love,
