Kay Meets Jay: Prologue

I was lost, completely and utterly lost.

I guess you could say that year was an exploration year for me.
That's speaking nicely about it though.
Entering college, I would have never guessed that one year could hold so many life changing events.
From transferring colleges,
to losing the relationship I had with my first roommate,
to living with and breaking up with a boyfriend that no one approved of,
to a car crash that totaled my best friends car,
to losing that best friend,
to losing other friends in the process,
to removing all communication with my dear family,
to eventually being welcomed back to live at home,
to transferring colleges, once again,
... and the list goes on.

Freshmen year of college was not a proud moment in my life.
I am not, and never will be, proud of the person I was that year.

But that is a story for another post.

For now, I'd like to tell you about the events that led up to me marrying the man of my dreams.
I consider him my saving grace.
The reason I got back on track and am the person, the wife, the daughter, the mom, that I am today.
I'm so glad that he could see through the girl I was when we first met,
and believe that I could become something more.

August 2009:
I was frustrated with the list of circumstances that I was given and expected by my parents to follow in order to be able to live in their home.
I was embarrassed at the fact that I had failed at college, that I had moved back home.
I was busy with two minimum wage jobs.
I was trying to regain the relationships that I had once had with my sisters.
I was attempting, and failing, to not have countless arguments with my parents.

I was lost, completely and utterly lost.
Little did I know that the beginning of the rest of my life was right around the corner...

I got this love story idea from here. This is a blog I have recently found, and am loving.
