A Little Day Dreaming…
By CJ Mills on Jul 7, 2008 in andrea, life
Andrea and I went out on a date, with no kids, for the first time since Asher came home (picture from above is NOT from our date…*sigh*…). It was nice to get out with my beautiful bride and spend some time alone. We are weird in that we do most of our talking in the car on our way to our destination. This is probably because I am a terrible listening/talker when there is ESPN on a TV right across the table and I missed today’s Wimbledon Gentleman’s final…I’m working on that….
Anyways, last night’s topic was centered around what Andrea and I do best - dreaming. We did a lot of dreaming about where we would be in 5 years, 10, years, 50 years, etc. It is a lot of fun and somewhat scary. We live a pretty great life right now and, selfishly, I don’t have any real intention of changing that…at this very moment.
Do you ever sit back and try to see the future? I do all the time. What kind of girl will my little girl be? Will my son be an athlete, musician or neither? Will my wife and I love each other the same way we do right now? Will I continue to succeed in my profession?

You know I try to think of what the future has for us. But sometimes it’s just so hard. Dealing with Gavin’s medical stuff has really made us just take each day at a time. But I do dream of buying a home in a couple years.. and being able to go on family vacations (besides Ocean City NJ). Both Karen & I pray for healing in Gavin and that someday our life will become less hectic and we can just deal with the normal stresses of life.

I sit back and read your blog and think about my life and then I thank God for the challenges He has sent my way. As a new Christian, I can dream, and dream big. I have no idea of what God has in store for me on this journey, but I am so excited to find out. Normal is getting redefined for me. And you know, that’s okay. I am ready.

Brad and I often dream of what our life will look like in 5 years. What we both find really crazy is looking back 5 years ago, remembering those “dream talks” in Lapeer, MI. Looking where we have gone since then and realizing we couldn’t have ever dreamed of the plans God had for us. Who would have thought we would be in Indy, the place where we met for the first time. CRAZY! I can’t wait to see what the next 5 bring! Keep dreaming!

@Adam O » I know exactly how you feel. Its hard to think about the future when you are dealing in such a difficult present. Praying for you guys.
@pollyh » I love your attitude on life - it is refreshing!
@Lisa » You and Brad sound a lot like Andrea and I in that regard! 5 years ago I was a 20 year old Sophomore in College who just married the love of my life with NO idea what we were going to do or be in 5 years.
