Acceptance Speech

I would really like to that this opportunity to thank my friend, Tara Turner, who harassed me enough to create this blog.  She, whose primary goal in life is to bother her friends in a loving way, has encouraged me to write about my life.  I find my life to be different than most.  Between my job as a special education teacher, and Jason's job in the military- we lead a life that is far from 'normal.' Please know that I cannot disclose many details about my life- including questions about Jason or his whereabouts- but I will do my best to share my life with my friends without putting myself or Jason in jeopardy.
So, adding to my very first 'blog', thank you friends for supporting me through the many changes in my life.  My title is actually very personal, as it is how I view where I am today.  I did not choose the life I lead, the paths I have taken have brought me to where I am today.  I cannot tell you how difficult life has been, and continues to be... but with God, friends, and family helping me- it makes the path a little more tolerable.
