I know most girls dreamed of being a mom or on the arm of Kirk Cameron when I was younger. My dream was of child free days and world travel. I dreamed of living on nothing and writing books that would make my mom blush and my stepmom question my sanity. Then I was eighteen and living my other dream, being a Marine.
When I was stationed in North Carolina at Camp Johnson also known as Montford Point. I met a dashing young man who was nineteen. He was tall, thin, light haired and blue eyed. He seem wordly and unlike the other Marines well read. My life as I knew it was changing. Although, for quite some time I only admitted liking him as a friend, I knew I was lying. How much of a lie? Like saying I rock a Kardashian body right now.
That was 1994 and lets fast forward to 2011. Here I am! I have six kids (including my stepdaughter). My life is my kids. Of course I sometimes wonder had I taken a different road if I would be that world traveler? that novelist? that NYC girl I dreamed of? Then I realize life is much better that I had expected.
I have written a novel although, it remains un-submitted. I have traveled to one other country and don't know if I could handle NYC. I still have an edge and sometimes act like I don't like my husband.
Love and Stuff,
Button
What a happy family! I miss mine back home.
