Five years ago I was the person in that car. My little two seater with the music blaring probably headed to the mall to buy myself a pair of new shoes. I had to laugh, because so much has changed in five years and I would have NEVER pictured myself in a minivan with my old boots and just whatever I could find to wear on with a little one in the backseat (dressed far better than I am, I might add.)
Five years ago I was not married yet nor was I thinking I was going to have children soon. It made me wonder how much more will change in the next five years. I hope to have another child by then and be in school. Or maybe I will be that mom that volunteers her time at the school. The possibilities are endless.
I miss my sports car.. I really do. As I listened to Dawson giggling in the backseat about his Tom and Jerry DVD he watches on silent I thought "I would be missing so much if I still drove that little sports car."
I feel very at peace with where my life is right now. I can't remember the last time I felt that way. I will take the lame minivan (which I don't care who you are, it's awesome) and my old boots and clothes off the bedroom floor if it means I get to spend each day with my boys. I am blessed.
Yes, you are! :D
