This year has been absolutely crazy. I feel like collectively we have been saying that since 2020. Seriously though, 2022 seems to have had it all so far. From moving house at the beginning of the year, with nowhere to go, and then ending up with my parents, to our daughter's wedding to the whole family finally catching COVID, to my husband changing jobs after nine years, it seems to have been one thing after another with a cherry on top.

My last article for Life was about that feeling of "It wasn't supposed to be like this." You can check the article out here. Coming in a close second has to be how did I get here? You know that feeling. You are sailing along with life, something happens that is not your choice and you think, How did I get here?

I was standing in the middle of my parent's garage, on top of our upside-down dining room table, surveying my entire life packed in around me. While I was searching for something to wear to work the next morning, all I could think was it wasn't meant to be like this.
