i’m not really a resolutions-kinda-girl.
i’m not a dreamer..
i’m realistic
and practical.
i think that’s why God picked jon for me to marry (our love story coming soon!)—
he’s definitely the DREAMER of our family.
he loves to sit around and just talk of grandiose ideas of where we will live someday, where we will retire, and what our kids will become.
now, i’m not going to lie, when we first got married, this really kind of ticked me off.
“don’t tell me one thing and then never follow through.”
every time one of his dreams was discussed, i would immediately start jotting down the steps to achievement in my mental notebook.
when i discovered that these steps were going to be really hard to accomplish or WAY too much money, i would immediately start squashing the dream…….”but what about…”have you thought about this…” “there’s no way we could….”
i know, i know….this isn’t my best quality.
through our five years of marriage, though, i have come to appreciate the dreamer in him and i actually think a bit of it has rubbed off on me. just monday, i was talking to jon, while in the car, about how there are no good Christian radio stations. good–as in music style we like + christian bands/lyrics. it seems like the “good” indie Christian bands don’t get hardly any air time on the radio. anyway, it got me dreaming about starting our own radio station and playing lots of those unheard artists.
now, realistically, neither of us have ANY experience or knowledge about the radio business and definitely don’t have the money to do such a venture, but it was fun to dream about it anyway without the lists and dream-squashing—-at least for that moment.
