This has been an interesting week...
Sometimes you get the chance to see how much you have changed and how much the choices you have made have altered your path. This week I had that chance, and it was so enlightening, interesting, and different than what I thought it would be. It really made me sit back (and write this blog) and think hm… if I had made just one different choice where would I be today? Granted there would have had to be lots of little choices along the way that would have reinforced that larger choice, but you get the idea. I thought about it and I don’t think I would be getting my MPH, I don’t think I would have found a career path that I am so passionate about, I probably wouldn’t be in Provo, I most definitely would not be moving to Dallas- all things that are great for me. I think, had I made that other choice I might still be confused about what I want in life, I think I may have changed my major another 2 dozen times, and I don’t think I would have had the time to find the things that I am interested in, good at, and know where I want to be 20 years from now. Granted I am sure the other path would have been fine, I probably would be happy- and successful in a different way, but I would not be doing all these things that I am now- these things that I am sure I should be doing, and plus I wouldn’t know nearly as much about conservative talk radio as I currently do. Sometimes it is nice to get an outside perspective on your own life… very enlightening.
On an unrelated note I tried BYU Creamery Cookies and Cream milk for the first time (about 10 minutes ago) where has that been all my life! It is probably the most delicious thing I have ever had in my life!
*what song did the title of this post come from?

I was laughing at my self as I sang (outloud) the words of your title. The funniest part of it was that I had no idea what I was singing...... It took me a few minutes of digging deep through my brain to remember Saturday's Warrior.
Matt officially thinks I am crazy!!
Your ideas about choices altering paths was very thought provoking. And if you take a step further, your choice decides what will happen to the next generations. You made me think about our family's big life-changing choice. I'll write about it in my blog in a few days.
