In My Dreams.

 I hear some people lament having married too young, and thus their dreams went unfulfilled.  Before marrying (at 20), I had only one dream . . . and it was not (necessarily) to be married.  Whether it included marriage or not, I wanted more than anything not to live an average and predictable life.  I think I've realized that dream, and in no way did marriage hinder it; in fact, it helped my dreams to come true.  In the early years of marriage, my husband and I traveled the country, visiting family and friends.  My dream of living a unique life found further realization when we became parents for the first time in our 40s.  God has definitely given me much more than I could ever ask or think.
