Go With Your Gut

Sometimes you just have to go with your gut.

When I chose to go to Hamline University, I knew it was a good fit. When people asked why I chose it, I couldn't explain it. I just felt comfortable when I was on campus. I wanted to be a part of that community. Through the ups and downs of my experiences at Hamline, I remained confident that I had made the best choice.

When I chose to move across the country and work at a boarding school, I went with my first inclination. I wanted a job, but I had a feeling that this school would be a good place for me to go. And even though I didn't end up staying there, it was a great decision and most certainly led to the place I am now.

And now when I think back on my decision to marry Steve, I can say that I was confident in my choice, but I can't say that I completely understood what joy and happiness would follow.

I can't imagine my life without Steve.

I can't imagine my life without our sweet girls.

I have never made a better decision than the one that I made to walk down the aisle eight years ago.

Here's to gut feelings and the truly wonderful things that follow.
