Ever since I turned 30 earlier this year, I have been thinking a lot about my life, future and where my dreams and goals fit into them. I know that 30 is not "old", however I did kind of feel this sense of pressure to get going on accomplishing some of my goals. That got me thinking. What exactly are my goals??? When I am at the end of my life, what are the things that I want to be able to say I did? So I started making a list. Here it goes:
- Mission trips (I would love to go to Africa for one)
- Help build a house with Habitat for Humanity
- Work at an orphanage somewhere (probably in another country)
- Adopt a child
- Record a song
- Start something big from the ground up and see it through to fruition (Imago Dei Adoptions is in the works!)
- Write a book on the Journey of Infertility
- Be a successful wife and mother (in progress!)
- Be the kind of person God wants to spend eternity with
Big goals, I know. But "with God, all things are possible" - Matthew 19:26.

Evan David
22 Months Old:
- Counts to 10 all on his own, recognizes the numbers when he sees them and counts out objects.
- Knows his shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, star, heart, oval, diamond, pentagon, crescent, cube, pyramid, cone.
- Knows all the colors.
- Sings every word of the following songs: Blue Skies and Rainbows, Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, ABC's, Old McDonald, and a couple other random songs we sing throughout the day. We randomly omit words as we sing them with him and he is always able to fill in the blank.
- He is trying to learn how to jump, which is a pretty cute sight to see.
- He loves to read, build towers out of blocks, play with his puzzles, color in his coloring books, brush his teeth for several minutes on end. His favorite new toys right now are the etchasketch, remote control car and his daddy's remote control helicopter. He says night-night to the heli-co-copt-teter every night. :)
