the title - dreams

Now for the most difficult and complicated portion of the title explanation - dreams. Many of my dreams have already come true:

Getting to attend college and be a collegiate athlete

Graduating college




Getting a job with people I love, in a field I enjoy





Meeting and marrying the person who can make me laugh no matter what

Getting my very first dog of my own (hopefully twelve more will follow, hehe)





and living in a neighborhood that feels like home




Being young, I have still yet to fully visualize and set goals for all of my dreams, but there is one thing I have had a small taste of - and can't wait to get more...

Traveling! I have been to many states in the U.S. while traveling for gymnastics and diving meets; traveled abroad to England, France, Italy and Spain with my best friend; vacationed in Mexico; and most recently have literally gone to the other side of the world - Beijing!!!

My and K's honeymoon was a trip to Beijing for the Olympics. We mainly went to watch our friend compete for the U.S. Wrestling Team. But, while we were there, we saw so much more - Tienanmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, silk markets, and amazing food! Some day I'll do an entire post on Beijing (maybe a few), but here are some photos to tide you over, for now :)










So, here's to much more traveling, many more dogs, and countless laughs... those are my dreams.
