{Gypsy Soul}

I entered the blogging world 2 years ago. I don't know that I've ever shared this with anyone, but I was inspired after I began following "Charming, But Single", a witty blog about a twenty-something, young professional's quest for love.

It was sort of "Sex and the City" only real life, in the South, and with pseudonyms... FANTASTIC! {as of today, CBS's last post was in December 2008}

And like a good copy cat, I began writing my own blog sharing dating misadventures adventures as well. It was fun being a young, single professional with no ties or responsibilities other than having just becoming indebted with a 30-year mortgage purchased my first home the year prior. I was relishing in developing my career, traveling, furnishing my home, stocking my closet with designer clothes shoes and purses, and pursuing the like... I was having a blast in my dating life despite the number of bad dates I had to get through, and I looked at it with a sense of humor but inwardly longed for Prince Charming. And then everything changed.

TODAY, it's amazing right now to think about how I still have those things to enjoy...AND I have a precious, precarious, and pretty {yes, I said "PRETTY"} son who enriches my life beyond what I could have ever imagined. I'm such a different person from 2 years ago; I've changed drastically...

I've grown from my experiences...

I've changed my perception and outlook on life...

I've altered my priorities in extreme ways...

And I'm a better person for it.

There are currently 43 posts with the label "dating", I'm not deleting all of those posts, but I've made the decision to cull some of these stories by the end of this week.

That's it- that's all I'm stopping =)
