Has anyone ever seen that Elvis movie? I haven't. It's just in my DVD collection. My husband likes it...
So I was watching "Boy Meets World" while my children napped (ah, relaxation!) and it's the episode where Eric becomes a weather man. *SPOILER ALERT* Turns out he can either be a weather man or graduate from high school. He talks about how it was always his dream to be a weather man.
I started to think about my dreams, what I always wanted in my life. Here's my list:
-Graduate (high school and college)
-Get a good job that was fun
-Fall in love
-Get married
-Create a home
-Have children
Those were the big highlights. Well, I'm 26, and I have accomplished all of my list. Done, fin. So now what? I feel a little silly, being an adult and trying to come up with new dreams. What now? I have the most wonderful husband (THANKS MEGAN!), 2 gorgeous children, a great home, a degree, and I turned down 2 different job offers in my chosen profession-HR, feel free to laugh and make funny faces, you wouldn't be the first. Are you ever too old to dream? Too old to come up with new goals? I never imagined myself at this point. I always thought that dreams were life long, that you had them, and they never ended. But how exciting is this?!? I have already accomplished so much, and now I can come up with a whole new set of goals. Goals are really just dreams written down, right? I want to run a 5k, I want to grow a garden, I want to take my children to see magnificent places, I want to get old with my husband, and play with my grandkids, I want to go on a mission for my church, I want to do whatever I want! Make your dreams monumental, you can do it! Dream whatever you want, and then do it. Follow that dream :)

1. I was just listening to that Elvis song the other day and now it's stuck in my head. So catchy. 2. Your welcome. I am the queen of set ups because you guys got married. 3. I have been thinking aboit this same subject lately. What on earth are my goals now that I've got my degrees, have my family, etc.? I feel like I forgot to keep making goals at some point and now I have to scramble. Thanks for this great post! It makes me more excited about it!
