Living The Dream... Is All About Family

Living My Dream is about Making The Most of every day.

Its about the man that I married.  He is my best friend who

I plan to grow old with.  My Dream includes His Dreams.

He holds me together when life has threatened to shatter me.

He laughs at me and with me.

He holds my heart and my hand with a gentle strength. 

He loves me no matter what.  With or Without my sense

of humor.  He loves me for who I am and for who I am

trying to become.  He inspires me and he makes me crazy.

He is my joy, my success, my partner, my friend, my other half.

Living My Dream is walking that meandering pathway of life with him.

That pathway has taken us to places we never imagined.

Our pathway that led to parenthood is one that we have walked

for almost 26 years now.  Where did the time go?

Our three children are the Greatest Things We Have Ever Done

Ryan and Ally and Brad!

We have experienced colic, potty training, nap time and bedtime.
Living My Dream opened doors to pre-school, elementary school,

PTA and Room Mother.

Skinned knees, tender feelings, and our family dog.

My dream has brought me Happiness that is almost Magical.

Sorrows that have crashed in on me as powerful waves.

And that same dream has given me an inner strength that helps me to

rise again when it is difficult to stand.

I have learned over the years that...

 Trials are a for sure thing, but Misery is Optional

I have seen....

 High School, and Proms.

Dance and Lacrosse.  First Love's and Broken Hearts

All through the eyes of their mom.

Living my dream has meant late night talks, noise, shopping sprees,

cell phones, parent teacher conferences and acne.

Graduation, college, missions, and weddings.

My life with Tom is quieter now, and even a little slower.

But my Dream has taught me to love, and to share and to sacrifice.

I have more hope and more faith and more peace because of my family.

My children are my greatest friends, my greatest fans, and my greatest blessings.

Up to now, My Dreams Have All Come True....

And the Living Continues....Grandbabies on the way.
