My Life

As my 25th birthday draws near i think back to 10 years ago and see what a differnt direction my life has gone...
I remember the dreams that i had back then and think about my life now.
Some dreams have come true and many have changed, I'm okay with that .
If you would have asked me 10 years ago what i would be doing now than i probly would have said...
I am a Special Agent With the FBI and I have a flat in Georgetown , not just any flat but a Brownstone. That had all Hardwood floors and a little court yard in the back. So if i wanted to i could escape the city ..
Or I'm a Historical Tour Director living In London , England. On the weekends I would jet of to Paris, Amsterdam( Not Amsterdam N.Y), Rome and Venice. I would drink a latte in a little outside cafe and watch the people as they go about their laid back lifestyles.

Well as you can guess they didn't come true , but let me tell you what dreams have come true...

From the time was 8 I've sung with St Peters Church Choir . I've sang in magnificent Catherdrals from The nations capital Washington DC to across the Alantic Ocean ( England And Scotland) It was on that very trip that I feel in love with England . It would soon become my home away from home.

After that trip I became obsessed with getting there, Thanks to my mom I was able to return several times . I went on a European tour with the school , I got to see London, Paris, The swiss Alps and Germany. They we all amazing places and i'm so grateful for be able to experience them. After that trip London became my drug.. My senior year of Highschool Myself and my two best friends spent our winter vacation there. Thanks MOM again.

I have lived in Dunedin Florida which is right on the Gulf of Mexico, Florida has always had a special place in My life. It was my first vacation (Thank You Grandpa and Grandma) , I fell in love with the Atlantic Ocean at first sight .. So when it was time to graduate i decided that i wanted to go to school there.

I did live in London for 6 months . It was the best time of my life. I met people and did things that i will never forget. London is very much a part of my life , it will always have a place in my heart. I look foward to my return. (Hopefully soon) , I do have some hefty student loans to consider (Thank You sallie Mae.)

People often make the mistake that I am angry at my current living situation.. Left me clarify that I left London to be at home and help out with the situation that came about. I am in No way resentful of my mother or my Little sister. Home is where i needed to be and will be untill I feel that it is okay for me to move out. Do I get tired , angry and pissy ?? Well yeah I do . Who doesn't but hey that is life!!!! Family comes first.

I have started to babysit for a sweet 6 year old . Monday -Friday 7 am-5:30 and work a second job on Saturday.. I really enjoy sundays LOL . In the fall I will be subbing in the differnt schools in the area so i then will have 3 jobs as well as going to school and hopefully will graduate next summer with a BA In International Relations with a Minor in Political Science. I often wonder what the hell I'm going to do with that degree but at least i will have a degree!!!!!
which will be a dream come true. Mabye i will teach highschool PIGS ???

In the fall I'm going to Las Vegas !! I can't wait.. Hopefully it will be better than the last time i was there.. I'm looking foward to the much needed vacation ..

I have a good life !!
