Dreams and Dreams
So few of you probably know that I decided months ago that I will, in my lifetime, write a book. It has become a goal, or rather dream of mine. Not to publish, but for my own enjoyment and challenge. I also figured that my plot and characters would probably originate from one of my dreams. Seeing as I don't sleep well and every night is filled with countless dreams, I figured it's a great place to start. So I have just been waiting for another one of those dreams to spark my interest, I didn't expect it to happen so soon but it has. I now know very little about my plot, but my main characters are in place, I am beginning and will just wait and see where they take me!!
Do you have any good books to recommend? I want to do more reading for inspiration and for fun!

Intellectual absence
Over the past few weeks with presidential debates on the forefront of everyone's mind I have realized something lacking in my life. Intellectual stimulation. I could never complain about being a wife and mother, I want that to be clear. However, I have found that as I ponder over words from our Presidential hopefuls, as well as over the conversations of those around me, or online, I feel a yearning. A yearning for knowledge, the same yearning that I had entering into my first and last semesters of college. So much of my time is devoted to ABC's, and basic rote memorization of so many different things, not only at home but in my job as a teacher. So much of my time is tied up in planning and prep for school, or church or family, that I rarely get to sit and have an intellectual conversation. Again, I wouldn't trade my role as a mother or wife, but I just wish I could fit in those conversations often enough that I don't lose the vocabulary, or abstract thinking that used to challenge my drive and interests. I wish there were time, and money for me to get the six or seven different doctorate degrees that I would so love to pursue!
I suspect this is life though, at least as a teacher supporting her family. I hope and pray that some day soon my husband will be granted the opportunity to pursue the education he so badly desires. That someday I can have these conversations with him without him looking at me like I'm crazy and he has no idea what I am talking about.
For now though, I will continue to post all the fun pictures that document the growth of my handsome son and the progress of our small humility-seeking family and leave the boring babble to my very patient, understanding journal. Enjoy!
