Day 2- When I grow up

Day 2- Where would you like to be in 10 years?

What a loaded question. Let's see. I want to be a successful wedding and portrait photographer. I want to have 12 years under my belt and be traveling all over the southeast doing what I love to do. I want to be able to support my family fully with a job I absolutely adore.
I want still be happily married to the same man I'm happily married to right now. Not that I'm expecting not to be, but I know important things like marriage take work, and that is something in the next 10 years I'm committed to do. Work on my marriage. Be happier then that I am now, and continue that every year.
I want to have changed someone's life for the better. I want to, everyday, speak kind words, never be stingy with my smiles, hug as much as I can. I want be the person people go to. I want to love and be loved in return.
More than anything, I want to see myself as a mother in 10 years. Not just a mother, but a good one. One who supports her children in their decisions, who raises them to be good, productive members of society, who teaches them how to love. That is, and has always been my ultimate goal. My 1# 'what I want to be when I grow up". To most people becoming a mother is a simple thing. A missed birth control pill, a simple decision to start 'trying'. For me, it has been a constant 19 month long uphill battle with no end in sight. I know, that day, the day the 2 pink lines show up, the day my baby takes it's first breath, and every day after, my life will be changed for the magnificent.

I suppose my ultimate goal, where I want to be 10 years from today, is happy. I just want to be happy. No matter what that means, no matter what I have to do to get there, I just want my life to be wonderful. Magical. Extraordinary. Everything it deserves to be. I only have one. I should make the best of it.
