Did you ever envision something in your future and then realize all of sudden, years later, that that thing you'd been thinking about and looking forward to had actually come true? Well that is what just happened to me... Not one hour ago...
Now it is no secret that when I fall for something-I go down hard! Harry Potter has been one of the great fictional heroes of my life-I just love that boy. And over the years, even before I was married, I pictured myself sittin' cozy on a bed with the kiddos getting lost in the world of Harry Potter. We'd toss around words like Hogwarts, Quidditch and Muggles. We would loath Slytherin and that nasty Professor Snape, and cheer on the Gryffindors to a House Cup Victory. Ron and Hermione would become some of our dearest friends and we would fall in love with Harry Potter and his wizarding world together. And tonight, after almost a month of reading, Ryan H and I finally finished "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". He loved it! He loved the broomsticks, the magical moving chess pieces, the golden snitch-all of it!! (Ryan and Adelaide actually hugged when they found out Gryffindor had won the house cup). And as we high fived our literary triumph and made plans to start in on the next book as soon as possible, I realized as I kissed them goodnight, a little dream of mine had become a reality. I got to share something special to me with my kids and it became special to them too. Wow, just wow...
