Challenge 29 Journal an Unexpected Turn

"Life is full of interesting twists and turns. If you've ever had a dream and then been surprised at how your life really turned out, you'll know what I mean. For this challenge, take a look at an event or a time in your life when you thought things might be a certain way but ended up completely different!"

-----pauline's journal prompt will start with a blog entry from a little bit about scrappinauntie
--------Back what seems like a few years ago, i was working in daycare when this wonderful couple walked in with a very unsure little girl. Whom they decided to leave in daycare with me. Her name was Ryann. Mommy was pregnant with brother and was on bedrest. When brother (Dylan) came into the world i not only became Ryann's preschool teacher but a babysitter. Within a year i had met Tim and would often take him with me on babysitting duties. We became a part of the "family" and a friendship was set ... fastforward a few years and Ryann is graduating from Dana Hills High School. (now to print the pictures)
