Wishes

If wishes were spoonfuls of mint chocolate chip ice cream I would have enough to swim in.
But as impossible as that sounds I have a feeling that most of my wishes aren't that far out of reach anymore.
Funny how being engaged to the man you're in love with will do that to you.
My favorite wishes are already set in motion simply because I have him in my life.

My Wish to be married and loved,
To have someone to love,
someone to share what I love with.

But my favorite wish I have been pondering ever since Mom handed me my first dolly and told me now I had my own baby just like she did when my first brother was born.

To have a family of my own.

Someday I want to be called Mommy by a little girl who has put her shoes on wrong and wants to help me make cookies. I want to cuddle up on the couch with my little family of boys and girls and read them stories before bedtime and share the scriptures with them.
I want to teach them who they are and how much their heavenly father loves them and how much I love them. I want to take my little family to the park and watch them push their father into the leaves and squeal when he pins them down and tickles them. I want to teach my daughters to make leaf crowns and my sons how to hunt for bugs.

I want to teach my children to love music and to play the piano and sing.

I want to spend time lying awake with my husband talking about our life. I want to hold his hand when we go for walks.

I want my kids to be able to come home and feel safe, loved, and clean. I want them to want to bring their friends over and play together.

I know this sounds sentimental and sappy but the thing is, someday this will be a reality for me. Someday is actually not as far away as I had been thinking.
Some people may come and tell me that it's not all happily ever after and love at home all the time. But my thought is, isn't that my choice?


Don't I decide whether or not I am positive about my life? No it will not always be sunshine and rainbows but I think it is the hard things that teach us to love and live better. Don't you?

I think my pool of ice cream just got a little bit sweeter.

    No life won't be all sunshine and rainbows but when it storms and rains you can still choose to put on your rain boots and go splash in the puddles. You shoud know that all these wishes and dreams are not just yours, but they are mine too. Thats why I love you so much because I can see that what you want is what I've dreamed about having.

Lists

Lists , Lists, endless lists. Things to do, stuff to wash, errands to run, stuff to buy. Why do most of my to do lists end up costing me everything in my wallet? I've really come to hate money, I don't even get to see most of the money I make. I just take a piece of paper with numbers on it to the bank so they can do some elementary math and add more numbers to my other numbers. This world seems to run on how many numbers you have. And the person with the most numbers gets the most power. It's like some sick Math game designed to melt your brain. All it would take would be some technical malfunction to add of subtract a few zeros from the end of your number stack and then all of a sudden you're sunk, or sitting pretty. Need I say more?

Ok so be for I begin my shpeal the thought provoting question for the day is: which would you rather have? large eyebrows or huge front teeth like beaver. Now yesterday I spent baking. I made the most amazing cream puffs. they are like cushuns of air filled with the best pudding you have ever tasted. it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I also made sugar cookies with purple swirles on them. Now tell me this why do we call them cookies when you bake them. they should be called bakies ( thus the title). So now that I've stated this evry oen who reads this must from now on call them bakies. that includes you sydney even though you're in switzerland. I can still send my vicious hamster after you.
