Life:
- The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating within the organism.
- The physical, mental, and spiritual experience that constitute existence.
- The interval between birth and death.
Changing:
- To make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.
- To become altered or modified.
Decisions:
- The act or process of deciding, determination, as of a question or doubt, by making a judgment.
- The act of or need for making up one's mind.
Life changing decisions... does anybody really like making those? If you think about it, you probably make life changing decisions everyday and do not even realize it. The life changing decisions we generally think about are marriage, divorce, having children, changing jobs, moving, etc.
While Ryan and I have experienced several life changing decisions this year, it has got me thinking. Everyday each and every one of us make life changing decisions. How you react in certain situations, treat people, the work you do, and so on. One quick bad reaction to a certain situation or person can change your life forever. A friendship can be ruined at the slip of a tongue. A life can be taken because you chose to get behind the wheel after you have been drinking, are sleepy, or texting on your cell phone.
So what's the point? The point is I have been pondering all the "life changing decisions" Ryan and I have been making lately, and I realize that while these are hard decisions and I can see what the change will be in the future, we make life changing decisions everyday... that sometimes have a bigger impact than moving or changing jobs.

Below: Have you seen the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? This is our version of the "love fern." This plant has been hanging here since we moved in. It used to be green... Now we just giggle about it and how I can't manage to keep anything alive (makes me wonder about having kids). I foresee it making the move to Guthrie with us.
