I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a very relaxing week and weekend!!! Just found these pics from my ten-year high school class reunion. That night, I reflected A LOT on my life and how it has changed since high school. I reflected on my dreams and how they have evolved and changed over the past 10 years.
In high school:
Dreams: Pediatrician, marry late in life, lots of kids
Well, I was in pre-med for 1 year and then nursing for 1 year and I consistently felt out-of-place. I knew that was not what God had for me. I met Russ the very first day of college.....suddenly my marry later in life plan had failed. SO, the only consistent passion/dream of mine is kids. I felt God first talk to me about adoption at the end of my first year of college BUT I had no idea He would have it planned for our first child. How precious that He gave me a husband that desired the same thing :)
I have struggled my entire life with doing what pleases others. The night of the reunion I felt more like myself than I ever did in high school.
I work for a fabulous company that teaches kids to choose what is true, good, and right, I have an AWESOME husband that I love so much and we have a GOOD marriage AND we are working on all those kids I dreamed about :)
Praying our sweet Lucy will be home soon!!!

How funny -- I was in pre-med but then decided to pursue law and marry when I was 30. Then I met Kurt, and we started dating when I was a freshman in college...and he's been my only staple ever since. I've never wanted a ton of kids...still don't know exactly what my personal long-term goals are, but Kurt is the main one!
