Reality

It seems there are quite a few things on my list of "stuff i'll have when I grow up." that, under further inspection, don't seem so swell. This used to be my list:

A horse
A salt water tank swimming pool (so you can scuba dive while at home)-sorry joy, it had to be said:)

A giant dog
ducks
a goat (apparently, I was gonna own a farm)
a secret library hidden in the house
to be as tall as my mom
to see Ireland, Italy and a million other places


Ok, so now let's review minus the rose colored glasses of childhood.

*A horse -um, nix the horse...unless i can have it with a groom and stables, basically maintanence free.

*A salt water swimming pool tank thingie (again, awesome idea, plus the dude to take care of it...puts a whole new meaning on the term "pool boy" doesn't it?)

*A giant dog --that still applies, who doesn't want a dog capable of sticking your head in it's mouth? Or doubling as a horse for that matter:) ?

*ducks--NO CHICKENS! THEY ARE EVIL!! I still have nightmares about the chickens my grandpa owned. Think it's enough to say any adventurers into his backyard carried bats and ran with the speed of the four winds.

*A goat- Goats. Are. Awesome.

*A secret library--I have the man to build it now too:)

*to be as tall as my mom--alas, it's not to be.

*to see the world--in the works

Though it hasn't changed entirely, the list has lengthened to include:

*to see my kids grow up to be people of integrity and value, loving God:)

*watching matt get old and crinkly (because I doubt pot bellied will ever apply.)

*to stop accidently sticking a finger in poo/yark/mysterious wet substances each day (there's an end in sight right?)

*to inspire others:)
