My Life-long Dream

Ever since I could remember, I have wanted to be a mother. I can remember playing house with the Barbies I used to have and I had many baby dolls. All of this is stereotypical for girls I know. Eventually, it was determined that I was old enough to watch my neices while my sister was working.

For some, watching 4 girls that were all elementary school age or younger might have reduced their desire for kids of their own. This was not the case for me.

If anything watching my nieces only fueled my dream of having my own family some day.

Eventually, I moved to South Carolina. It was here that I would meet the man that, many years later, would become my husband. He has taught me so much over the last 4 and a half years. Things that I never would have thought I would have any interest in such as fishing and raising chickens.

One of the things that he has taught me though, is to try new things even if I'm scared to do so. The best example of this, is when we went zip lining on our honeymoon. I was terrified the whole course, but thanks to his support I was able to make it through. I was able to push through the fear and be able to feel proud of myself at the end for completing the course.

I believe everyone deserves someone that supportive in their lives. Someone that will push them to be better. To be brave.
