Since I can remember, I have set goals. Big goals. I aimed to publish a book someday. I did by age 21. I wanted to live in a big, urban environment. I lived in Manhattan for 3 years. I hoped to have a wonderful husband and child by 30. I married Matt at 28 and had Lowe at 30 (neat fact - I had the baby 2 years after to the day that we came home from our honeymoon). There are more but you get the gist. Now I am focusing on smaller goals and attempting some resolutions. I think I appreciate the little things so much more after having a child. Lowe learned how to clap this week and you would have thought he cured cancer or won the world series the way I yelled and screamed and nearly cried. That's the great stuff for me now. Just a little guy applauding himself for no reason at all.
