So last night my cute husband asked, "What should I do with my life?" I loved his questions because it felt open and free, and it reminded me -- as I have always felt -- that the sky is the limit.
Of course #1 on our family list is to be a rock star family. And we are still working on that with our rock star band. It is our dream to make Chris Merritt famous, and we do not plan to give up .. ever.
But we've also been thinking about and remembering some of our other family dreams. Tim and I have always wanted to move to a Spanish speaking country for a few years. So that is now back on the table.
I, as some of you know, am very passionate about Utah lake. It is my goal to own a piece of lake front property on the West side of the lake some day. So that is now back on the table.
Looks like I might get my job at UVU for another year, so staying in Utah is back on the table.
We really love our house, our neighbors, and our mountains, so keeping our house in Alpine forever is also back on the table.
We really want to adopt from foster care in 5 years, so becoming certified as foster parents, fostering children, and adopting are still, as always, on the table.
We both think this baby is a boy so having a Timothy Easton Fellow Jr. is back on the table.
Tim is still in love with both music and finances so finding a job that does both is still on the table.
We're still worried about Utah schools, but staying in Utah is, again, still on the table. We'll figure it out. "Shoot for Harvard, Quinn. For Harvard!"
We're totally in love with our friends the Purdie's, and so we can't leave Utah unless they come too. So, again, staying in Utah is still on the table.
I love the idea of creating an after-hours maternity clinic where women can come and get medical help or advice for pregnancy issues without the fear and expense of going to the ER. So part of my plan is to become a sonographer so that I can give ultrasounds and help people through hard times. Tim agrees, so this is on the table too.
I'm also really passionate about women's legal rights in Utah, so eventually I might start an organization to help women with these issues in the work place. On the table.
We have also decided to take a stronger stance against immoral media content in our home. We have taken multiple shows out of our TIVO over the last few weeks because the content was far and above against our person and family beliefs and standards. So staying hard core Mormons is, of course, always on the table.
We are having a Chris Merritt music video shot at our house in a few weeks, so becoming millionaires by selling a house that was used in the most famous Chris Merritt video ever ... is on the table, Baby!! Sweet!

Wow! I am waaaay behind and out of the loop. Living at the other end of the block is like living on the other side of the world! You are amazing through all of this. I am sorry that you are experiencing this trouble. Although, I love your optimism and your ability to lay your dreams on the table despite it all. I wish I was only as ambitious and not as cynical as I am. Please put my name on the list of people willing to help if and when you need it. ok?
