So I thought I would tell you a little bit about my journey. I think all of life is a journey: our health, our relationships, our dreams. Everything keeps changing, so the journey never ends. Change is part of the journey. Here is my journey so far…
I went to college expecting to be a boardroom executive one day. I really wanted to work in Mergers and Acquisitions. I wanted to figure out what made a company work or not work. I was driven and I wanted to go kick some business booty! J I got a degree in Accounting and started on my MBA. I was elected class president for my last semester of school. I organized activities, I worked on my classes, and I was ready to conquer the world. Oh, I forgot to mention that I married my high school sweetheart and the love of my life after our freshman year … sorry, that’s an important detail.
So I am in my last semester making the grades being class president … and my husband leaves to fulfill his ROTC requirements after his graduation. I expect to stay in school and meet up with him about 4 months after he left. However, I strongly feel wrong about not being with him. I cannot tell you how wrong it felt. It was overwhelmingly wrong to me. I pray about it and talk to people, but I can’t stop feeling I need to be with my husband. It comes down to a decision on how I am going to prioritize my life, career vs. family. Family wins and I drop out of my MBA program and leave to be with my husband. This was a bittersweet decision … I worked hard for my education and was good at what I did! But being a wife was important and I wanted to be the best! And just to be clear, my husband NEVER asked me to leave school and join him, he supported me in my education 110%. I was the one struggling, not him. I tell you this story because it sets up the foundation of my future decisions.
