My Wonderfully Fabulous Boring Life

I just hung up with my bff Susan! I had some time to kill and we chatted while Susan waited for her daughter Meredith to wake up from her nap.


As I sat here in my little office in Huntsville Susan and I simultaneously talked and checked people out of Facebook...a favorite past time of ours...and we discussed how boring we really are.


But know that I think about it...there are pros and cons to every lifestyle you choose. What matters the most is that you are happy. When I was in High school I was dead set on becoming a fashion buyer, moving to NYC, never getting married, no kids...a very Sex and the City lifestyle is what I had planned for myself. Of course if you are a Christian, as I am, you learn that God puts you wherever He wants you, and I'm glad He put me here. It wasn't until my oldest nephew Wade was born that I thought twice about the very vogue life I had planned. When he was born I loved him more than I had ever loved anything and he wasn't even mine. Not that people who live in NYC don't have families they love...but I realized how much mine meant to me and I knew I would never be able to move that far away from them!


So here I am, a church secretary in Huntsville, Alabama. Living the dream...or living God's dream for myself. I love my husband, I know that everything in my life led me to meeting him and for that I wouldn't change anything.


So, I'll make the most of this life God has given me and I'll never say my life is boring again. Because it is exactly what it is suppose to be.
What's boring about this!
