Mike and I are famous for having our, "if we won the mega millions" dream. Oooo... the things we would buy and do. Mike and I are car people so, of course, Mike would love a new truck (fully loaded). I would love a new SUV, probably a new Denali (fully loaded) and, of course, we would need a fancy sports car to drive on the weekends!
Our house is fine, a little small and could use a few updates, but fine. But if we won the lotto, look out! I envision a huge farm style house with a wrap around porch, 6 bedrooms, beautifully landscaped, and with all the luxuries of a fancy house.
It is nice to daydream and have a fun romance with a giant shopping spree to escape from the day-to-day craziness of life. But the fact remains, I am happy with my life! I am married to my soul mate. We have been together for 20 years now. I love my kids; they are happy, healthy, and smart. I am blessed to be able to stay home with them and love and guide them. Help out in their classes and see all of their "firsts". We do struggle financially but, to my husband and I, it is worth it.
We could have a bigger house and fancier cars if I went to work.
But when I am dead and gone, I can't take any of that with me. The best things in my life aren't things at all. It is my family and all of the memories that we make and share.
ohh, what i would buy with a mega million! i somewhat already have a list in my head haha :) but you're right, the simple things in life, like shaping and molding your children and getting to spend their young years at home with them, is much more valuabe than money. i think the same things: we would have so much more "stuff" if i worked but really, i love being home. adorable pics, btw :)
