"One Day"

I wish I had some pictures to post here. A beautiful thing happened. 

I don't know about you, but for years I have been moving with myself from house to house several boxes of  "Christmas stuff that I will use one day". Well.....it's one day! A couple weekends ago my sweet Hubby Guy brought up from the basement all the boxes of "stuff". I went through it and have displayed most of it. What I decided not to display I put in the Goodwill pile. 

Also, I have been married almost 6 years. For the first time this year we have a full sized Christmas tree. When we've put one up the last few years it's been a three foot "Charlie Brown tree". You  know the one. It bends in half when you put an ornament on it.

Anyway.... it feels nice.

It occurred to me just now that all of my "one day" things have happened:
"One day" I would graduate from college. Check.
"One day" I would get married. Check.
"One day" I would have children. Check.
"One day" I would live in a mansion. Check.  (It's all the mansion I've ever needed.)
"One day" I would use all that stuff in the boxes I've been dragging from house to house. Check.

I guess I need to start dreaming again :)
