Of being a MoM!! Keep your dreams alive. Try to understand that to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. With this is mind, I WILL be a Mother!!! I can't wait til Josh's dreams come true! Counting down!... come to us May 2011! YAY!!! :) Dreams are just... bazaar! The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened!!! “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”~AS
