Reflection

One of my sisters and my neighbor stopped by to chat yesterday...and in our conversations, I came to a realization. No regrets. I'm not sorry for anything that has happened and if I could go back and change the past, I wouldn't. If, on the day that I met my ex back in 2002, I knew exactly what was going to happen in November 2009, I would still have introduced myself and would still be totally interested in her. I realized that I would still have wanted a relationship because of all the wonderful things that has happened in the five years that we were married. If I would've stayed away, I would have avoided the heartache but I would've missed out on lots of wonderful things. Here's a quick list:

- Saw amazing sights in CA like Ft. Rosecrans National park.
- Took an awesome road trip from CA to IN - saw some really cool sights.
- Took an awesome road trip on the PCH from San Jose down to Lancaster, CA.
- Eloped to Vegas! I think that's pretty cool.
- Stood in the same line that Britney Spears stood in to get a marriage license.
- Felt my unborn son moving.
- Took an amazing road trip from CA to AK - this was a tough one but just amazing!
- Was there for the birth of my son...one of my top three moments in my life!
- Had some really cool experiences in AK.
- Was there for the birth of my daughter...one of my top three moments in life!
- Shared a tough, but fun road trip with my family from AK to TX.

It's kind of funny though that all of the amazing things that has happened in my life are overshadowed by one dark moment. But in talking with my friend and my sister...I wouldn't have changed a thing.

It's kind of like that Mastercard commercial. Instead of being priceless though...there was a price that I had to pay for these wonderful moments. And in reflection, I'm glad I paid the price.
