dreams and traditions

One of my many life dreams is to travel the globe with Chad. First on Chad's list is Scotland... I think my top is the rest of the UK, India (because i've heard you'll never be the same after seeing India), Israel, Germany, New Zealand..

I've thought a lot about working in some kind of relief effort... I would love to help those in need all around the world. (Traveling plus service-- can't go wrong there.)
Anyway!!! the reason I bring all of this up is because the other day I was at Ross and found this box that had a pair of necklaces. on one necklace was an airplane with a little pearl, and the longer necklace had a little pendant of a passport. I thought is was SO cute! I thought I should get this to wear during school so I know why I am working so hard and to remind me of my goals and to keep focused on them even when life gets too hard. You wouldn't believe it but I didn't buy the necklace... I am having non-buyers-remors (?)
Have you ever had that happen to you?!!


on a totally different note, today is the first day of school for "my kids". Zack is starting first grade today and VJ is starting third grade. I am making chocolate chip cookies for when they arrive home. About a year ago I was thinking of our own future family and deciding that would be one family tradition; that I would make my kids a special 'after the first day of school' treat... friends are always invited to come too. I figured I would start the tradition early with my "practice kids" :) hope that's not bad to call them that. nevertheless, I hope they enjoy the cookies. I will also be taking some to my sister's kids today too.
