When I was 20 years old I was so frustrated with my life. Bobby and I had been married over 2 years and I was about to turn 21 in a couple of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We lived in an old beat up trailer right on a river that had wholes everywhere and I found too many snakes to count!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was awful! Every time I found one I would move to my parents house for a couple of weeks. I prayed more than I\u2019ve ever prayed in my life and was so terrified every time I went to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have 100 stories I could share, including a water moccasin that came flying at my head above the washing machine, a giant rat snake the length of my bathtub…. and ON MY BATHTUB when I found him… copper head under the sink and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was so bad!!! I was terrified, frustrated and newly married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a choice. I could continue to live with the snakes or I could start again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So… we packed up all our crap and headed to Panama City Beach! Bobby has a jacked up red truck at the time and strapped his dirt bike on the back of what looked like the Beverly Hillbillies headed to FL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We moved with only a few hundred dollars and a family member who gave us use of there trailer for one month while we found jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t easy and I still remember looking for change in our cars so we could buy food. We didn\u2019t even think about job checks taking a few weeks to come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But man… I was soooo happy!!!! Hungry, but happy! I had hope again. I had a new adventure, new challenge, new people to meet! And a beautiful ocean to look at any time I was scared!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And… away from that place with the snakes! ????<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many times in life have you been frustrated with your situation and then thought about what you could do to change it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have a new chance every single day!!!! If you don\u2019t love what your day looks like start to make small changes. It doesn\u2019t have to be as dramatic as moving 4 states away to get away from snakes, but just know everyday we have a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We either choose to accept it or try to find ways to change it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
