Someday

With my birthday quickly approaching I have been thinking of all of the things I have done in the last 30 years of my life. I seriously can't believe I have been around for 30 years, that is just crazy talk to me! I wish I could say I can't believe all of the things I have accomplished in the last 30 years. In some ways I can't believe all of the things I have done but in others, more ways, I just think of all of the things I STILL want to do! I feel like a lot of my life really began when I meet my husband. I feel like I have done and experienced SO MUCH since meeting him! It is like I found my other half and now that I am whole I can go and battle and experience the world around me. Maybe that comes with the confidence he has given me or maybe the bravery, could possibly just be the crazy that is in him that is rubbing off on me, either way he really has given me SO MUCH!!! It fits that I will also celebrate the day he and I married for time and all eternity ON my birthday :)
Anyway, I would like to make myself a list of somedays that in some ways is just fun and in other ways is very serious. Things that I hope to someday do or be or have. I used to HATE the word someday! I hated hearing that someday I will be find the person I love and that loves me back, someday I will be able to be a mother, some day I will own a house. It was so frustrating for me to have to wait for someday to happen. So much that my friend Ryan wrote Kip and I a song that he sang on our wedding day to us called "My someday is today". Now that those things are now here I look at the word in a different light. I am not in such a hurry (now that I have gotten the things I wanted MOST out of this life, being a wife and mother), I still can't wait for someday to arrive but at the same time I want to more enjoy TODAY!!! I want to enjoy that time before someday a little more and just enjoy reaching for these goals. In the last 30 years of my life I do not think I spent enough time just enjoying today. I spent so much of my single life just hating that I was single, I spent a lot of energy in Kip and I's dating life just wishing we were engaged to be married, and then I spent a year of our first 2 years married just wanting a baby. Telling myself that when I had these things I would be satisfied. That is something I would say I have learned and would just LOVE to apply to the next 30+ years of my life. Yes someday when I have all of these things I will put on my list, wow that will be great! But I really want to enjoy the journey a little more.
This list might take a few days to add to and I might have to just cut myself off at some point because I am sure it could end up FOREVER long if I let it?

Here goes,
