Can dreams come true?

So school is in full swing – and I’m really not sure whether or not I’m on the right path. I’ve been working on going through each of my life goals and trying to figure out what is a possibility or what is a complete dream…and there is a part of me that gets angry at the fact that there should even be a dream category, why can’t these dreams come true? One of the reasons I didn’t blog a whole lot this last summer and almost dropped off the radar is because of this conflict. After graduation I felt at a total loss, not sure what I’m supposed to do now. I didn’t know where I was supposed to go, what school program or field I should be pursuing, everything was up in the air (and if you know me, I don’t do well with everything being up in the air.) I need more security than that. I have the constant security that is my marriage and my relationship with my best friend Charlie – he is the one person who I know I can trust, say anything to, fight with and laugh with, cry on his shoulder and no matter how bad of a day I’m having he’s going to love me and we’ll survive anything. Other than that, things seem unsure for me.

At the end of July two of our closest friends Steve and Jessica invited us to their house for a “tasting.” Charlie and I weren’t sure what it was, but decided that we were going to support them and show up – and we are so thankful we did! They were in their first few weeks of starting their Mona Vie business and in that one night Charlie and I decided that we were going to join them. (If you want to check it out, www.ckshealth.blogspot.com) That first night I couldn’t sleep, not because of weird dreams or a feeling of hopelessness but because I was so excited that I get to have hope for my dreams again. I have a lot of dreams for my life. J Since this night Charlie and I have no doubt that our dreams are possible and that things are going to work out. A few of the big ones are

1. We don’t want to be in debt – student loans and all debt paid off

2. Be able to pay for medical school for Charlie.

3. I want to pursue photography – I enjoy it and need a change of pace.

4. Travel…everywhere!

5. Buy a home.

6. Go work (without the stress of missing work (money) ) on the MORE project in Brazil and go work in Thailand.

7. Basically we want freedom.

We know that some of these will take more time, but they’re possible. We have a “why board” up in our room, with this list plus or minus a few, there is a picture of the car we want to get, the Eiffel Tower, my bucket list is posted up there… and a checklist of things to do everyday. Things are going to happen – my dreams don’t have to be put in a little category of “never going to happen.” I’m thinking that for my own sanity I’m going to blog about a dream a day… does that sound good? I know I have like 5 people following me, so to all of you, sorry you can ignore my dreaming. It’ll be good for me.
