A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.....

I had a dream last night that my husband and I a baby boy, and we were giving him a bath. He was a chubby little thing, blue-eyed and light-haired, and I loved him so much. I can still feel how much I loved him in my dreams as I sit and type this at 5:40 at night. One of the coolest things about the dream, though, was how awesome it felt to be taking care of this baby WITH my husband. I think that part warmed my heart as much as the actual baby!! The first words out of my mouth this morning to my husband were "I dreamed we had a baby and we were giving him a bath." A few hours later, when I woke up for real, we talked about it in detail, and decided we are both really looking forward to being parents together. We make such a great team in all areas of life; we're looking forward to adding parenting to the list.

Welcome Back

I ran today. I'm not a natural athlete, but on April 28th of this year, I decided to start running. It was SO hard, but rewarding. And then I fell down the stairs with an armful of picture frames. And then I was sick for 2 months. And then there was the cruise. And 18 days in Austria. And then jet lag. So today, November 16th, I returned to the track. And the track took me back. It was hard, of course. But I've never really been one who handles failure well, or can get back on the horse very easily. So this was a good day. And I got the runner's high to prove it.

I'm a blogger?

Like many people in the past few months who have seen "Julie & Julia", I have decided to start a blog. I'm pretty sure I don't have anything to write about, and I don't think I'm a terribly good writer, but I've heard that writing makes you a better writer. Seems a bit like an Escher drawing, no? I have friends who blog, and I really enjoy reading their stuff, so why not take a stab at it! Plus, it's free. Can't beat that.
