Lol cute image. Love it! Never know, by then you may welcome calm n peace. A chariot ride may be just the perfect amount of adventure for ya. Lol. Children are plenty of adventure if you ask me. Lol.
That's so awesome. I'll be more adventurous again when my daughter is older. Always excited n a bit surprised to find a person with similar interests and hobbies. I think I'm...different. lol

I'm so very excited for you!!! Have been for a while. I made the mistake of writing about my excitement to you on the classifieds site so it was deleted. I felt pretty dumb lol. I just read a crazy funny story. Idk how everybody will perceive this but I assure you I'm not trying to talk you out...
Wow I learned some very valuable info on here! Thank you for being inquisitive and not being afraid to ask questions. Too many people are embarrassed or think they know it all bc they may have read one article. I have no doubt that you will have great success. I wish you the best. And thank you...
