I said 'fine' in 2004, ended a 16 yr marriage and moved to another city. But that wasn't the big change, it came when I met a fantastic guy ( yes, online) and he changed everything! I moved 1600 miles for us to be together and it was the best move I ever made. We are still together and going strong after 2 and half yrs, and I'm working my dream job. Was it a little scary, yes, being on my own after 16 yrs of marriage, and then taking the big leap to move 1600 miles away from family and friends. Was it worth it, yes!

I am amazed at how brave you are!! Talk about taking life by the horns! Do you always go by your intuition? I wish I could be more like you! You've now become my new hero :)

Thank you summer. Yes, I have always pretty much taken life by the horns, and I raised my two girls the same way. Since I didn't mention, my dream job is working for the forestry service, wildland fire fighting. If I didn't live life like I do, I would be one sitting there wondering 'what if', as for me I'd rather find out the answer to 'what if'. Life can be a wonderful adventure and it's too short to not go 'exploring'.
