The very first thing I would do if I had five hundred dollars to spend at the mall would be get my hair done for one hundred dollars. I would buy my husband a pair of Jordans, those are one hundred fifty dollars. We would spend the rest of the money on our son. We would buy him onesies, sleepers, jeans and shoes. I would love to buy him a new carseat. He loves watching movies so probably would buy him a movie. We would definately have to buy him some tummie time toys. Last we would spend twenty dollars and eat somewhere because I am always hungry! The mall always has good comfort food!!!

I do not consider my life a fulfilled one.  I believe that it has been fulfilling up to this point in my life, but I am not content to say it is fulfilled on a complete level.  I think one must always be striving to the next fulfilling goal in life.  I love my life and despite the mistakes, I am grateful for the path that has lead me to this point.  But I cannot say that my life is completely fulfilled when I know that tomorrow may bring and experience that is more wonderful than I ever imagined possible.  I will always be dreaming of the next experience in my life, no matter how seemingly insignificant.  If my life were completely fulfilled at this very moment there would be no need to wake up in the morning and face the day.  There would be nothing greater to achieve.  I simply cannot fathom that this moment is ‘as good as it gets’.

She is my role model for nearly every aspect of my life.  I admire her courage in the face of adversity and how she always manages to keep going, no matter how hard things get.  As a mother myself, I find that my daughter is rapidly becoming the most influential person in my life.  I cannot turn to her for the inspiration and support that I will always get from my mother, but my daughter is the influence for almost everything I think and do.  There is seldom a moment when my actions are not directly related to making the best possible life for my daughter.  My mother inspires me most, but my daughter’s influence drives me to inspire others.

If I could travel to any country in the world for free, I would want to travel to Italy.  The possibilities on this trip are virtually unending.  There is simply so much to see and do that it would take a lifetime to fully enjoy.  I would want to go to Milan and see the Duomo di Milano because it is a simply amazing work of architecture.  In Rome, I would definitely want to see The Colosseum and The Pantheon.  Then it would be off to Venice experience a gondola ride upon the canals.  I would also want to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pompeii, and villages of Cinque Terre.  Italy wouldn’t be complete without visiting a real vineyard and experiencing the amazing food.
