The Nevers

I have been reflecting lately about many things. It is funny, when you think about where you were 10 or 15 years ago and how you saw your future. Is it different than you thought? There were many nevers in my life:
-I never thought I would have a younger brother. (Can't imagine life without Andy)
-" " I would leave North Carolina.
-" " I would leave Washington State.
-" " I would find another great staff to work with
-" " I would live in Utah.
-" " I would go graduate school and earn my Master's Degree.
-" " I would work with at-risk students.
-" " I would teaching this long.
-" " I would have so many friends.
-" " I would have been single still.
-" " I would so happy with my life.
-" " I would be coaching basketball, volleyball, or track/field.
-" " I would have such a great relationship with my family.
-" " I would have been the last person to be single in my family or with my high school friends.
-" " I would want to be a writer.
-" " I would be teaching reading or english.
-" " I have been able to travel to Australia, Belize, and Europe.

I am sure there are many more, but you get the point.

You are too cute! I love this list. I want to make one. :) Where are you at now??? We're in Las Vegas and are getting ready to move to Centerville, UT. Not for long though... just trying to pay off some credit cards.
