What If?

Do you ever wonder what life would be like today if we'd just done or not done one little thing? For example, JMU was my first choice for a college. The first time I went, I fell in love with the campus, the atmosphere, the band - everything! I got myself a JMU sweathshirt and a purple L.L. Bean backpack for Christmas. I was ready to go! Thennn I got back with my high school boyfriend and decided to go to Longwood to be closer to him (fyi - NEVER make an important decision based on a guy, especially in high school!). I sent in everything for Longwood, was all stoked to go, then that guy broke up with me. Bummer. Not only did he break my heart, but I had changed my life's course because of him. Long story short, I went to Longwood and LOVED it! I loved everything about Longwood and still do. In fact, I'm headed back there in April to meet up with some of my girlfriends. I had some of my best times and met some of my best friends on that campus. I also got to know my future husband and got engaged at Longwood.

On that note... what if I had never gotten back with my high school boyfriend? What if I had decided to go to JMU anyway? What if...what if...what if?

No matter how many times I ask myself this question, nothing will change the fact that I did not go to JMU because of someone else. Nothing will change the fact that I went to Longwood. Nothing will change the fact that I fell in love with my husband and got engaged a few years later.

But sometimes I still wonder.....what if?
