Tell me about your life...

Dream...to go to Alaska sometime, or just to be able to spend a few weeks driving across the US. To be able to have the TIME to do it, AND the money.

Goal-to pay off this house!!! I think I have about 12 or 13 years to go.

Accomplishment-being happily married for 22 years. That might sound strange to most of you, but when I see how many of my friends and family are divorced, been married 2-3 times or always complain about their husbands, I know how lucky I really am. And it's not all luck-some of it is work! But mostly, I think it was picking the right person from the get go, and actually meaning the vowels we said.

Favorite things-no doubt about it, my animals. My 2 dogs and my cats. Can't even imagine life without them.

What I look forward to-being able to retire. Although I've been very fortunate in life, I'm not one of those people who has a job I really love. It's not that I dread going to work, but I don't enjoy it, either. I'd like to be financially secure, and then find a part time job that I really enjoy when money (hopefully) isn't so important.

My favorite person-my husband!!!!

Dream ~ to visit Ireland and really get in touch with my Irish heritage. We want to spent atleast a month there for our 10th annicersary so we have six years left to get it all together.

Goals~ to have my children turn into responsible, happy and health adults, to make sure my family knows how much they mean to me and to own my own home.

Accomplishment~ other than my kids and wonderful husband? I really haven't accomplished anything I want to yet.

Favorite things~ my kids' laugh, my mother's smile, my brothers' and sisters' hugs, a game I play on the computer and of course 4WT!

What I look forward to~ being out of debt, living in a home I own, nieces and nephews and grandchildren (kids to spoil and send home)

My favorite person~hmmm... just one is hard. My husband for being the devoted man he is a sticking with a job that makes him crazy to provide for our family, my mother for being the strong influence she has always been, my sister ,Angie,
for always being so talented and beautiful, my sister, Crissy ,for being so caring and loving, my Brother ,Randy, for being so determined and never giving up, my brother, Bobby, for being so bright and caring (even though he would never admit to it), My youngest daughter, sydney, for for outgoing personality and friendliness with everyone, My oldest daughter, Cheyenne, for being a loyal friend to her friends, My youngest son, Sebastian, for being so tender hearted and forgiving, and my oldest son, Damon, for being a great big brother to the baby and being so talented at his drawing.

my dreams are to either open a children's museum or gallery. or to open a bakery. i love baking and love seeing people happy while they eat my deserts. i would also love to do something that has to do with dogs. i would love to have a bakery where people could sit with their doggies and have snacks together...but that really isn't a go because of health laws.

pope we should open a place together!

my goal would be to start seriously saving up money to buy a really small house by next summer. or to win the crazy nice million dollar house that they have in a contest at my work.

i know it isn't the biggest achievement but i am really proud of myself for getting as far as i am in school. i really have never been into school, never liked it and even though i might like what i was studying i could never make myself get that drive that i really needed. i have actually had a few teachers ask me if i had a learning disability like ADHD. i am now now in sight of seeing the end of university and i'm pretty proud of myself for making myself just do it.

favorite thing: cuddling with lottie (my puppy) and mike (my bf), cooking and baking, cook shows, the feeling right after you go swimming when it has been a long time (you know when you feel super weightless and the feeling just seems so unnatural, i love that), i love sounds like the ticking of keyboards, purring kitties, crunch of snow, all kinds of other noises, i also love watching people eat and just watching how they enjoy their food.

i can't really pick a favorite person, i love everyone. i really love hanging out with mike. really close with my family. i am thrilled that my sister and my nephew live with us cause there is so much about him that i would miss if he didn't live with us. i also just love lottie to pieces and she would be the thing i miss the most whenever i go away anywhere.
