Going Home
It has been a while since I wrote last...but I am finally getting settled back into my daily routine. A week ago at this time I was on the road back home. It is a long drive and also in the figurative sense it was a long road back home. I found out that you can go home after all.
I had a blast going home. You never know what to expect when you haven't seen people in a year or more. Visiting my alma mater was quite an experience. It was almost like I had never left. I still knew a lot of people. The best part was being able to reflect on who I was and who I am now. I was a different person then and I had an entirely different vision for my life back then. I never would have thought I would have been where I am now. I thought by this point in my life I would be a reporter somewhere or married or something. I never imagined I would be writing this from my apartment in Iowa. I was reflecting on this very thought as I was on hold waiting for the conference call with the governor today. Am I upset that my life isn't going as perfectly as I had planned? At times...maybe I am. Would I trade any of the experiences I have had walking this path? I would love to get rid of the bad times, but I know that the bad goes with the good and I definitely wouldn't trade the experiences, the friends and the fun times I have had on this wild crazy path I have been on. Perhaps I am taking a detour on my dreams, but at least I'm still traveling.
