As most of us think, had I known what I know now I would have done things different. And for the most part the only thing I would change is waited a little longer before I jumped into the "real world".
Now looking at big 40 in a couple of years, you look back. I have been married twice, divorced twice, and refuse to do that again. The first marriage gave me my three children, Scott, my son, 21 followed by two daughters Bobbiejo 19 and Ashley 17. The youngest finally graduates in December of this year.

Then off to Gainsville for the rest of her classes to become a vet. But with any teenager things tend to change very often so tomorrow may hold different plans.
