The song This by Darius Rucker is pretty much how I feel about everything.
I threw around a few different ideas for this post before finally settling on the decision to live at home and go to a community college instead of going out into the big bad world *sarcasm font* and go to a four year school and get a dorm, I think this really shaped my life.
The first year or so of living with my dad(I moved out of my mom's after graduation), I had a lot of what if, did I do the right thing? type feelings, not that I didn't and still don't love living with my dad, because I love it and am blessed greatly by it, but I often wondered, was it the right choice for me? Would I regret it down the road that I chose to stay at home instead of moving out?

| I have changed so much between making the decision to move out to my Dad's in 2010 to this year. |
Looking back, just over three years later, I can say, I would definitely make that choice again, and that this choice has changed my life for the good.
If I hadn't moved to my Dad's, I wouldn't have gotten my job with Walmart and met all the wonderful people there, I wouldn't have been as close with my family & my grandparents, I wouldn't have become as independent as I am,
What was a choice that changed your life? Would you make that choice again?
I stayed home after graduating high school and went to a local school. While I wanted to eventually move out of that town, I opted to stay local for a while, at least until I got married. What's right for one isn't always right for the other, but I think we will always have the question of how things would be different if we chose a different path in life.
