Regrets

Day 13 of the 31 Day Blog Challenge - Biggest Regret

This one is a hard one for me.  I am one of those people who believe that the choices we make at the time make us who we are.  I wouldn't be where I am right now and with the people I am with had I made different choices.  I try not to regret my choices, because I mostly love my life (sometimes its a bit stressful).  I have a few regrets though.

We lived in Houston for 11 months and 16 days.  I despised living in Houston.  We were 9 hours away from our family during the most difficult time in our lives to one of the happiest times in our lives.  All I wanted to do was get home.  What I regret, is not doing more in Houston while I was there.  I wished I would have explored the city a little more instead of living in our little bubble.

I wished I would have finished my college degree from a university.  I have a photography degree and I am a certified cake decorator, but I still would love to see a piece of paper with my name on it.  I could never figure out what I wanted to do, still can't.  I already do the things I love with the degree and certifications that I have, but I still hold on to dreams of graduating.

I guess my last one would be my biggest... I wished I would have let my husband spend more time with his dad in the early years of our marriage.  I didn't know that he would be taken from us so early.  I needed help with our baby and I thought it would have been selfish on his part to go hunting for 10 days at a time while I had an infant.  Now, I would gladly have given him that time with his dad.

A few things I hope to never regret:  Saying "I love you" to my daughter and husband, or really anyone that I love.  I always want them to know I love you.  I never want to regret not taking chances and putting myself out there (thats why I started this blog).  I never want to regret not giving enough; whether that means hugs, time, understanding, patience etc.
