Dreams?

 

Hello out there in cyber land!  I know it's been a few days since I blogged.....just haven't felt much like getting on here for too long.  So life in the Kimbrough home is slowly getting back to a "new normal".  We have in our apartment now for about 2 weeks, Jeff is working steadily at the Hermitage Walmart, I am still working like crazy and today, my baby girl entered Middle School.  Where has the time gone?  It is amazing to me how different things can be in different parts of the country.  Karey brought home her math lesson from school and I pray that the teacher is just doing very simple review.....the stuff she did today in class was stuff she learned in 2nd grade back in Ohio.  I am praying that there isn't that big of a difference between the curriculum here.  I were to go solely on the work she showed me today as a gauge for what 5th grade is expected to learn here....Karey might just be way ahead of the rest of the kids.....and if that's the case, then everything I have ever said about Painesville City Schools being just as good as other Ohio schools would hold true....just saying.  Only time will tell.  One thing that is a little different is Spanish is a required class here in 5th grade...not sure that it is in Ohio...and I am glad that she is starting to learn Spanish now....cause in 7 years when she is out of high school, she is going to need it in order to be successful.  

But I digress.  The topic of tonight's blog is "dreams".  I have been thinking about this all day.  What are you dreams?  What are my dreams?  What am I doing today to realize my dreams?

So here are some of my dreams...I thought I would share them with the world, not for any reason in particular other then I was once told that once you put it down on "paper", they become real. 

1.  For my daughter to grow up happy and healthy. 

2. For my daughter to go to college and choose a career that she is passionate about. 

3. For my husband to finish his degree. 

4. To become a successful business woman - own my own business. 

5. To have a successful business. 

6. To become a professional genealogist - helping people learn about their family history and helping people record that history to share with others. 

7. To become happy with myself again.  

8. To live a healthy (ier) lifestyle

9. To reach my goal weight. 

10. To build a life here in Tennessee similar to the life I had in Ohio. 

11. To make lifelong friends. 

12. To have "girls" weekend with my childhood besties Carrie, Sarah and Jenny - but also have a "girls" weekend with Bean and Julie too. 

13. To travel and give Karey the same experiences I had as a child - see Arizona, Florida, Texas and all the other great places my parents took me and my sister when we were young.  

I part tonight by asking - what are your dreams?
