Musings from Graceland

THEIR TOP TEN to be ACHIEVED

Another homeschool mom shared at the Five in a Row boards, that as a child, she had told her mom the ten things that she wanted to do when she grew up. Her mom kept the list all those growing up years and had it to read at the daughter's wedding. It was a sweet AND funny moment. Her story inspired me to record what my children at this point in their lives hope to achieve one day. It will be interesting to see which of these dreams will become a reality in the story God is writing with their lives.

13 Year Old A wants to:

1. Be a writer, journalist, popstar...or Queen of the Universe!
2. Live in Colorado.
3. Get married and hopes its to someone she already knows.
4. Travel around the world and definitely visit New Zealand
5. Only have 2 children, twins, a boy and a girl.
6. Make a forever best friend who will never betray her...she hopes to achieve THIS one this year.
