My Dream of Writing Begins

My dreams of being a writer started many years ago. Whenever anyone would ask the question, " What would you do for a living if you didn't have to worry about money?" My immediate response would be, "I want to be an author." Yet, every time I sit down to put my thoughts together with a pen and paper its a little overwhelming to be honest....I think about all the subjects I could share with the world. . It is a life time of lessons and stories that each of us have and could share. Why would mine be different? I wonder if just one person read my thoughts and my thoughts helped them find some sort of peace would it be worth printing? I don't know but my heart tells me to move forward and my head says I gotta get on Oprah so I can be a best seller so here we go.....we will start with J's story because he is what made me listen to my heart again.

Its been six years ago now that my husband and I said "I do." The day you say those words your head is full of hopes and dreams of spending the rest of your life feeling exactly the way you do that day. You look your best and feel like a princess with prince charming at the end of the isle waiting for you. Then surrounded by God, family and friends you pledge for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, and in our case for fatter of for thinner! We didn't know that in the first five years of marriage we would hit each of those vows full on. Test each one out to see if our marriage really could survive it. But thats exactly what we did....

Our first year of marriage was full of hopes and dreams. We had life planned out. Funny right, I mean like our plans are Gods plans. When we dreamed it looked a little like this, we were going to move into our first home in June (we were married in April), we were going to start a family right away (hopefully get pregnant on the honeymoon). Baby number one would come within a year and then maybe baby number two would come a few years later. We would have one boy one girl. You know because we could predict that. Our home would be a place all the kids would want to be when they got out of school. I was going to be a stay at home mom, baking fresh cookies and keeping the house clean. So I would leave my life in accounting and my husband would bring home the bacon...literally as he is a chef. Oh life was going to be AMAZING!
