Here's to the endless possibilities

So. Due to my lovely job downtown I almost always get stuck in 5:00 rush hour. Pros: thinking time. People watching. Tanning my arms out the window. Cons: I hate traffic. Awful drivers don't do good in high risk situations. I am terrified of switching lanes during a busy time so I find myself in the slow lane 90% of my drive.
Thinking time: My thinking time on my drives usually consists of what me and the Mr. will be eating for dinner, what I want to wear the next day, good music, things to do on the weekend, and randomly will get these big ideas in my head and run with it.
For example: My thoughts yesterday driving home. I always have said I would love to go to med school and become a surgeon or go into oncology. Up until tuesday they were just thoughts that have gone in and out of  my head. Tuesday because there was an accident and I was stuck for about an hour.Sooo...... tuesday I actually put together mine and kris's life with me in med school, he goes into commodities, and we live back east, and have a cute little home in the suburbs of a big city. He works in a big building and I run in the city. Literally googled houses on craigslist for new york and chicago late that night. Thought of a timeline for how this could happen. I was confident in my ability to take the classes and not actually just take them but be excited to study (rare occasion). I was so determined and giddy about the fact that me and kris are so young and that we really have the ability to choose how we want to live our life. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to be different and never wanted to just brush by through life not living it and just simply getting by. Not my style. I have always wanted to be the best at what I do. Experience new things. Push myself to achieve my goals. This post is really random and not really relevant to anything but since its my blog I can vent and share. Kind of like my journal, but at this time don't have one so sorry.  Going back to my daydream. Marriage was a term I never thought I would use until I was thirty. Really. I never wanted to rely on somebody else. I was taught to carry my own and do the best with what you have. Well I don't handle change well but  Kris changed my world around and I am so grateful for it. I am aware I bring up him a lot but well its OUR life now and he is in my every thought about the future. So of course I told my other half about my vision. Not only did he not even laugh at me or shoot it to the crapper within the first 30 seconds. He smiled and said "why not". Why couldn't I go to med school? Why couldn't we move somewhere and have an adventure of our own before settling down? I had no answer. That actually could be our reality one day..I love him and honestly couldn't have asked for a better husband who knows me inside and out. I am grateful for my parents for raising me to never doubt myself and making me know that there is nothing that couldn't be reality as long as I am willing to work for it. Now I just have someone else working with me!:)My life may never take me back east or to med school or on any crazy adventures, but the fact that I know WE COULD makes me smile:) Fact about me: I don't like being told I can't do something or that it's not possible. So someone please tell me that we could never move. I would love the challenge:) Random post, but oh well:)

Got wedding pics back and will sort through and post my favs!

The most prolific period of pessimism comes at twenty-one, or thereabouts, when the first attempt is made to translate dreams into reality.

We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.
- Louisa May Alcott
