While I was working out the other day I started to think about whether or not I am happy with my life.  I mean, yes I am happy in the sense that I am content with my family life.  I love my husband and kids tremendously…but what about ME?  Am I am happy with me??  The answer…not really.  I think when I became a stay at home mom my goals and dreams kind of came to a screeching halt.  Now that both kids will be in school, it’s about dang time I start working on me and what I want and my goals.  So to get started, I decided to type out a “Life List”…sort of like a bucket list…but more like “what I want to accomplish in my lifetime to satisfy my goals and ambitions.

So without further ado…
