Back to school, back to school!

I feel like some crazy times are ahead of me. Meeting with an academic adviser tonight about completing an associates in Horticulture. Yay! All the nervousness of quitting a job and rolling down a completely different life path are certainly there. I've never been the type of guy that has really known what he wants to do in life. I always wanted to have a moment where everything just made sense and I knew what I wanted to do. 28 feels perhaps a little late to realize that (as my earlier years in college could have possibly been better spent working towards this end) ...but when looking back... who is to stay I would have gone to school at Truman (most likely not) and then I never would have met my wonderful wife. Thinking back on all the decisions in my life seems pointless sometimes. All the mistakes and wrong turns I've made have led me here, and I am so thankful that I have the love of such a wonderful woman. I honestly get the feeling sometimes that everything has worked out exactly as it should. Seems as though some people really question my leaving a decent paying job and striking out down a different road. There are several good reasons to do so (not the least of which being that I'm stuck in a dead end job in a department that will most likely be eliminated in the next few years by the company that bought us out). I'm still young, surely there is still time for a career I think would mean more to myself and the world. Excited, nervous, nay a little scared, but for quite possibly the first time in my life I feel like I've got the faith and belief in myself that I can do this and be successful. I'm game, lets do this!
