Life is unexpected.
But I was sure I was going to follow the path that most people take.
High school…
Figure out what the heck is going on…
College….
Figure out what the heck is going on…
Marriage…
Figure out what the heck is going on…
However, that is not what happened.
Life is unexpected.
It definitely threw me for a loop.
I am 22 and engaged.
Around this time, last year, I was mourning my dog, ignoring me, in my constant state on loneliness. It wasn’t even because of the pandemic…I just was not a people person and getting tested for autism.
November rolled around. I was stressed with school and it was overwhelming me.
Around that time one of my best friends of six years invited me to hang out.
He’s fun…I miss him. Let’s go.
Yeah…
That didn’t go as planned.
Both of us ended up catching feelings and started dating December 22, 2021.
The best way to describe the realization is…
Hmm…oh no…oh no…well…crap.
Little did we know that forever and always would be in our path.
I might be working a full time at a retirement community and not going to school this next year…
But little by little I’m realizing it is ok.
Both Miles and I are working full time jobs instead of school and it’s working for us.
School I can see in the future, for me.
I just want to figure out where I’m going.
22 and engaged to my best friend.
Not going to school right now.
And it’s ok.
Life is unexpected and I’m learning to accept that.

It’s always a joy to hear from you my sweet Annie. Thank you for the great update and news. Moorea did share your news with me. I love seeing the smile on your face. Enjoy the moments and gather them close. One piece of advice if I may….Annie, it’s important that you marry a man who shares your faith. I love you, sweetheart.
