I don't get on here too much anymore, but I have known some people on here for years. Long story short..had a farm, lost it all, decided I wanted to live in Wyoming, went back to school until I could.
I graduated in December with degrees in geology and biology. I had a job before I graduated, went to work in Oklahoma. I was promoted twice since then and yesterday I started my first hitch working in Douglas, Wyoming. They tell me I will be working here permanently
Last week I put an offer on a half log/half frame scary looking fixer upper on 13 acres north of Cody.
It took me six years of hard work, frustration and countless hours on my bike and treadmill listening to Chris LeDoux when I was losing faith, but I have done exactly what I planned to do.
I spent the vast majority of my life, taking it as it came. I didn't make plans, I reacted to circumstances. I didn't know where I was going, but rather worked towards getting out of where I was. After I lost everything I decided that I needed a different approach.
I decided what I wanted my life to be and figured out how to make it that way. It hasn't been perfect and my reality and vision are not perfectly aligned, but dang it sure is close.
If I can do it, anyone can
Know where you want to go, make a plan, don't give up.
