How my life is like a bowl full of cherries.

From my favorite line in the movie Barnyard, "I'll do what I want, when I want, when I wanna do it."

In third grade, when you had to write what you wanted to be when you grew up, my list went on for about a page and a half. Mostly because it was wide rule paper and my handwriting was horrible. (still is) But also because I couldn't narrow it down. So much to do, so little time.

I'm thirty-(not finishing that number)something now and my list is even bigger. Does that mean I haven't grown up yet? Some people are shaking their heads right now. (Stop it traitors!)

I had to cross off soccer star when I broke my shooting toe my sophomore year and had to side-line my career. But coaching my own little soccer stars has been a great experience.

Astronaut got shot down after the age of 12 because of severe motion sickness. Stupid motion sickness. But I do get to pretend to be an astronaut with my little Nathan. (Not puking is a definite benefit.)

Concert pianist isn't going to come to fruition, but I do have two pianos and can experience beautiful music in my home. My daughter however, has the talent and dedication I lacked.

The list goes on and on. But here's the sweetest part of my bowl, I have a husband who supports my need to learn and grow. I feel like I can try to do anything because well, he thinks I'm a genius. (I'm not, but its still good to hear it.)

I'm living the dream, a home, a family, friends, great friends, and a faith that sustains me through all the hard parts inbetween.

Just thought I'd give a shout-out to today, to my life, to my dreams. Thank you all for being a part of it.
