Where I thought I would be…
Married at 18,
And therefore 4 kids, oldest probably 10.
Financially independent if not a millionaire.
Career in the computer industry.
Nice big house with big library in the country.
Where I am…
Still single.
1 neice and 2 nephews with another little one on the way, none of my own.
Still in debt, though nearing completion of that.
Current career in the oilfield.
Small fixer upper house in the city.
It’s a little sobering. But I can honestly say I am good. I am blessed. And when I consider my relative position in this world, I can only stand in amazement. I am still young. I am healthy. I have a great church. I have great friends. God has saved me. I still have an incredible family. I live in the richest country in the world despite its problems. I really can pursue anything I want.
In short, I am tremendously and incomprehensibly blessed. And even more amazing, is that I have so much I am excited about and look forward to. See you all around. Have fun.

Hey Bubba,
I just now got to read your blog posts. It is amazing to think about how different life is than the way that we originally planned it to be. But if you think about how life was "supposed" to be, then what would you have missed out on!!! I am so proud of you. Love you, Sis
