I'm trying to catch up! Sorry! :)
Day 5 was My Dreams.. *yesssss* One of my favorite topics because Eric and I often take the time to dream! We have LOTS of big dreams but of course they all stem from our love for each other and our family. One of my favorite things to dream about is our future home. I often go to this site to look at house plans and get decorating ideas. I can't wait to have a HUGE house for hosting family get-togethers and other parties! I want our house to be the house where all the kids come to hang out. :) Another one of my dreams is to be a Certified Hypnobirthing Practitioner, a Doula, and a Breastfeeding Counselor. I can't wait to be teaching Hypnobirthing to the nurses in the hospitals! I'd love to travel to different hospitals around the state or even country teaching willing participants how they can help women seeking more natural holistic births instead of insisting that they do things the nurses more medical way. As for being a doula, I only want the certification for the purpose of proving to people that Yes I do know what I'm talking about. Most people really don't take me seriously and it kind of drives me crazy. Same with being a Breastfeeding Counselor, although I do look forward to being able to really help women have a successful breastfeeding experience from the very beginning.
I also have lofty dreams for my family... I want to one day (soonish) to be able to have a private tutor for my children to be able to lean at home or when we travel. I want my husband to be home with us every day and to be able to pick up and go on trips whenever we want. I plan to host large charity events (in our large home) at least twice a year and have my children plan charity events every school semester. They'll pick something they're passionate about and plan the event all on their own and we'll foot the bill for whatever it is they want to give or host for others. I want to teach them that giving is a part of daily life and not only can it be in huge amounts of either time or money but it can be something as small as lending an ear to someone hurting. I hope that we'll be able to be an example for not just our children but for other families as well to show people that Love doesn't necessarily come in the form of a religion or with stipulations.. some people just want to LOVE.
Those are my Dreams :)
Ok so Day 6 is about a Stranger... And I'm picking a facebook friend. A. because I have never met her, and B. because she intrigues me! A guy I dated in college is married now and for some weird reason or another his wife (girlfriend at the time) requested to be my fb friend.. if i had to guess, she fb friended me bc I am an ex of her hubby's and she wanted to keep tabs (I totally would!!) haha. Maybe not, but oh well. The reason she intrigues me is well, for one she Pregnant (I know I'm such a dork! but I can't help it! I just love those pregnant bellies and all that goes along with it!!) and another is I really think we would be great friends if we actually knew each other! From her fb profile (go ahead call me a fb stalker.. but hey she friended ME) we have a lot in common, but I also know that those are superficial things. When I think about being real friends with her I think about all the things I'd love to learn from and teach her. Ok enough about that because I'm sure it looks weird to other people.
Day 7 Today My ex's... there are so many.. I once counted all the boys I'd kissed before I got married.. it was well over 40.. But I can safely say that I did save myself for marriage despite all of those kisses ;)
Anyway, I'd say there are only a handful that really had an impact on me and taught me a little something about life. The lessons I learned in dating were things like, don't expect less than what you know you deserve, and looking back, I know that even though the boys I dated didn't always treat me like they should have or even appreciated who I am, it was simply because I was not the girl for them.. and obviously they were no E$ ;) I think of those relationships and great training for appreciating my husband and all that he is for me, to me, and with me. I was able to know he was the one because of all the wrong ones.. When he poured his heart out to me and told every detail of how he felt about me and where his life was headed.. I knew, because none of the boys I'd dated were man enough to own up to such responsibilities as a woman's heart. I'm so thankful for all the choices I made and the boys I let influence me, just enough to learn something positive in all of those relationships, because of them I was able to open my heart to a true man and allow him to show me how to be truly love and to truly love him. I look forward to sharing my experiences with my daughters when they get to that age of curiosity about boys :) I have a whole memory box of notes and souvenirs from past relationships :) stuffed animals and all! ;)
So now I'm all caught up on the Blog challenge days! Hopefully I can stay that way! :)
Ps.. I'm about to go pick up C from her FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!! YAY! I've missed her today!
