Day 16: What's At The Top Of Your Bucket List?

Hmm, this is a tough question! Honestly, the top of my bucket list would probably have been married and have a family of my own. Accomplished. In high school, I would have said living in California would also have been on my bucket list...again, done! I suppose I'm pretty lucky that way!
I will say I would love to do some traveling...particularly outside of the US (though within the US, there's a few places I'd like to go as well!). Germany, Italy, Australia (because my husband speaks so highly of it!)...but at the top of my list is Ireland!! One day we will make it there! (Technically, my hubby has already been there too, but only the airport, so that doesn't really count, right?)

Day 17: What is your most proud moment?

Hmm, I truly have had many proud moments, it's hard to name one in particular! Remember in my favorite things post I said I loved conversations with Shaun? I'd say those moments are some of my most proud. When you have a child with Autism, it is those successes that might seem small to others that make all the struggles and the therapies worth it! My little man is a genius (bias perhaps, but true!), and I'm so happy to get to know a little more of what's going on inside his head, and seeing that genius brain in action. I will post a few of these examples in a few days...they deserve a post all their own!!

Day 18: The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

A Modern Day Fairy Tale comes from the way my husband and I met for the first time in person. He came in looking much like a prince in his dress blues, glass slippers in hand and soon whisked me off to the ball (Marine Corps Ball that is!). That is the short version anyway! I recently posted the full story here, if you'd like to read it!!
