Sometimes Life Hands You Dreams...

That you never knew you wanted. If you would have asked me even five years ago, what I was planning on doing with my life, firefighter, EMS and small business owner wouldn't have even be in the picture. I never wanted any of this. Believe it or not I never actually wanted to be married or move away from home either but that happened. I was married at 19. I moved down here to Tennessee two years later. Nine years after that my husband became a firefighter. A year later he dragged me into that world kicking and screaming. I thanked him for it. A year after that I was bitten by the medical bug and took my first class. EMR. A year after that it was EMT class. In between those years I started Fire Women Creations with a friend and while that friend dropped off, I took it to a whole new level. I can't believe all of this has happened in what could be described as a blink of an eye. I may not be exactly where I want to be yet but I'll get there. Life is extremely hard right now but it can and will get better in time. Sometimes a little faith is all you need to get through. Of course you have to work at it as well lol. Has anyone else taken a path in life that they never thought they would before?

@anya12adwi Thank you. My husband has been a firefighter for five years now and rescue squad for three. I've been a firefighter for four years, rescue for three and I just got my EMT license this year. Working on applying for the local EMS station maybe next month

"sometimes a little faith is all you need to get through." - absolutely. i'm really glad you took all the opportunities you had. i hope it all works out for you this post is kinda relatable: i never imagined i'd have a relationship or get married - but here i am. never thought i'd leave my home country even though it really offered me nothing - and here i am, miles away from home. i am grateful for everything. who knows what other opportunities will show up. i'll just try to enjoy life as much as possible. i guess that's the whole point
