I'd love to hear it all! And of course, pictures are encouraged

Hmmmmm..........This is going to take a while...........

What are my dreams? One of my dreams is to take a wonderful vacation to a really nice tropical place. I love the beach and swimming. Also, I have a dream of getting my home really organized..........NOT HAPPENING!!!!! But I can dream!!!

What are my goals? I would love to lose weight so I can have more energy to keep up with my housework and my grandchildren! Also, I have a goal of reading my Bible more (it's not working but it's still a goal!!!)

What are some accomplishments that I'm proud of? My family!!!! I have a wonderful family, healthy, and full of life and love, in church and serving the Lord. I'm proud of the fact that I've never had problems with my children (no drinking and no drugs--just attitude) and that the ones who are married have wonderful spouses and families! I have a husband who even though I get irritated with him I know that he loves me dearly (still after 33 years!!) and I love him too. I love all my family and always enjoy having them around. They are definitely what I am most proud of!!!!

My favorite things in life? I love the friends that I've made here on 4WT! We've grown to be such a close group and I care for each of them!!! Another favorite thing......don't laugh........is e-Bay!!!! I love to shop on there and almost always have a package on it's way!!! I collect antique children's dishes and cabinets and it's soooo much fun!! Another favorite is my little yorkie, Reuger. He is such a sweetie and is so good at keeping me company!!!

What do I look forward to?.......hmmmm............I would say retirement but I know that my husband probably won't ever retire. We'll have to pull him off of the tractor kicking and screaming and tie him in a chair to get him to retire, even then he'll still be telling us how to do things!!!........I look forward to Heaven and seeing Jesus and all of my other family. I have grandmothers that I miss so much............I'm looking forward to taking another 4-wheeling vacation in the mountains this summer, especially if my son and his family gets to go!!!

Who is my favorite person?......My husband.......he takes such good care of me and spoils me terribly (notice that I got a new laptop and printer). He gives me lots of attention and shows me how much he loves me all the time. Occassionally we do have our problems but we always work things out. He definitely has a hard job because (sorry, girls, but this is true!) I am a really difficult person at times to get along with (it's called menopause!!!! and probably any other hormonal disorder!!!!) He's always been a Knight-in-Shining-Armour to me!!!!!! How could he not be my favorite person?

This is a good idea for a thread.

What are my dreams? I dream of being able to do all of the things that I always thought I would. I guess just in a different order than I had planned. I want to eventually get my masters degree and move away from here. I want to buy a townhouse in old city Philadelphia like I always thought I would. That would probably require winning the lottery, but I am allowed to dream I guess. It would be great to afford to take vacations a few times a year too.

What are my goals? For now, get my associates degree so I can get a decent job. I'm focusing on one thing at a time, so I don't want to stress myself out. I hope to get a job in the area of nursing that I enjoy most, so I can be the most productive and good at my job as possible.

What are some accomplishments I'm proud of? My daughter for sure. She's only three, but she is just such a smart, funny, and beautiful little girl. I can't take the credit for all of that, but she is half my DNA, lol. I'm proud that I went from dropping out of high school and having nothing to look forward to, to being the type of person that pretty much has to be motivated 24/7.

Favorite things in life? My family is very important to me. I love to laugh and joke, and I can always count on them for that. And one thing that I would be so lost without is my satellite radio. Don't laugh, I really love that thing!

What do I look forward to? December 2010 when I graduate, and May 2009 when my Mom graduates, lol. I look forward to possibly getting married one day and expanding on my family a little bit more. Buying my own house and starting my own life will be the best.

Who is my favorite person? My daughter, but my mom and sister are tied for second place. My mom, sister, and I went through a lot of stuff together, and we have come out stronger because of it. My momma is a huge inspiration to me on a daily basis.

My dream is to someday be retired and have the opportunity to do all the things that I never had time to do. I would like to have my home organized from top to bottom. Have time to enjoy any future grandchildren, and have time to help others who need a hand.

My goal is to be a more effective teacher of God's Word. I need to read my Bible more and I would like to learn Spanish.

Accomplishments - Successfully raising, with my husbands help and support, our two daughters. They are truly amazing. Graduating from college and being successful at work are accomplishments, but my daughters are by far the greatest.

Favorite things in life.... my family & friend and traveling. I thoroughly enjoy travel & want to see as much of the world as possible.

Look forward to...seeing our daughters married to good men and spending time with family and friends.

My favorite person is my wonderful husband of 34 years. I love spending time with him.
