Workout:
11 fun miles on the treadmill while watching The Bachelor 1% incline 7:40 average pace. One of my favorite features on the treadmill is that there is NO time limit. At the gym you have to restart it every 60 minutes and it used to drive me insane. The other awesome thing…..we put it in its own separate room. Billy and my downstairs neighbor can’t hear the treadmill or me playing the Bachelor and Kei$ha full blast on the speakers and I get to decorate the heck out of it with running gear, pictures and the inspiration board that I am working on!
Billy made my recovery drink this morning and I took it to go. By the time I got to school I had a chocolate milk mustache and didn’t realize it until one of my students said something. Awkward.
——————————————————————–
Besides qualifying for the Olympics for the marathon:) I have another big dream that has to do with another major passion in my life.
Delicious Food.
Right now, I am putting the man through school because he is a rockstar and I don’t like thinking about him having to work while he goes to school. I think 16 credits of Electrical Engineering= 60+ hour work week. Plus, I make bank as a teacher in Utah. I actually really enjoy teaching and I forget they pay me some days…..playing dodgeball and students bringing me candy=very happy Janae.
As soon as Billy Bob is making mula being a lawyer I am going back to school.
Yep, I am going back to study Nuclear Physics because I am very sophisticated like that.
Okay, that’s a lie. I barely passed my physics general education class at byu that I took as a senior but was meant for freshmen.
I want to go to Culinary Arts School. Get up in the morning and go for a run, talk/learn about food all day and then go home and hang out with my best friend. Yep, that sounds amazing.
Then I will have some chicklets and start my own little restaurant or bakery.
Will you come eat at my future restaurant? There will be more desserts than you have ever seen but don’t worry there will also be ridiculous amounts of fresh vegetables, delicious cheeses and amazing salads/pasta’s and pizza’s on my menu. Don’t even get me started on the breakfast menu, I will go on all day about it!
So there you have it. I think it is so important to be happy and enjoy where you are in life right this moment but I LOVE TO DREAM BIG and think about all of the possibilities that await me:)

You are such a great wife! And that is such a great dream! I'm not sure what my dream job is. I love what I'm doing, but there are always a million things I'd love to do too!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey
That is a great dream! Right now I have to work too because the husband is in his second year of owning a business, but I can't wait to stay at home and be a momma.
The Turtle
I would love to eat at your restaurant.
I like to cook and bake, but I am not a very good baker. I like the sense of accomplishment I get when the Hubs likes what I cooked.
WannabeRunner
I will DEFINITELY come eat at your restaurant! I think this is a great dream. :)
runthelongroad.com
My dream is to qualify and run Boston! I just need to shave 18 min off my PR (easier said then done)!
My dream job would be to quit my real job and coach (running) full time and make lots of money at it!
sun

If you enjoy baking/cooking, tell me WHY?
–I enjoy both, but my success rate is about 60%. I get really sad when I fail.
What is your dream job?
–Being a mom/being super rich and getting to work out, sleep, eat, and watch reality tv all day.
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner)
THAT IS ONE OF MY DREAMS TOO!!! And I would defo come and eat in your restaurant/bakery:)
My other dreams include running the Boston marathon, a sub 1.30 half and running a sub 20 5k!!
And I LOVE baking/cooking because eating the end product and any cookie dough/brownie batter is just THE BEST:)
Follow your dream Janae! And you are going to make an AMAZING mommy!!
Mamarunsbarefoot
I hate baking!! But you'd be so awesome at it.. I'm 40 now still homeschooling and raising kids so I think my school dream days are over. Boston's dream? That looks to be over too..:(
Britt Burns Kelly
Well best of luck to you and your culinary dreams. I went to culinary school and it was the so extremely difficult, but really enjoyable and amazing at the same time. It takes over your life and when you work out you smell like the food you've been cooking all day. But there is no greater skill in life then knowing how to cook an amazing meal, well in my oppinion at least.
spectacuLAUR
I absolutely LOVE to bake. Cooking is fun, too; however, I'm DEF a baker at heart.
Besides running, whenever I get stressed all I want to do is bake, bake, bake! It stinks going to college because I don't have my mom to mootch flour, sugar, eggs, etc. so I don't really have the moola to bake all I want.
I considered starting my own little "bakery"… AKA, me demanding the people in my classes to buy my baked goods I made because of stress. But I don't believe it would work to my benefit :(.
I keep looking for baking classes in my area but it never works out.
My dream job would be a baker with my own bakery… Except, I enjoy eating the dough instead of the final product so I hope my body becomes immune to salmonella. hahaha.
<3
Lindsey@arunningtale
Same as you my dream job is to open a little cafe/restaurant that has yummy and healthy food! oh and gelato…
evamadera
I love to bake and cook. Baking is such a stress reliever for me as well! I would definitely come to your restaurant. :)
My dream job would be to be a full time writer at home that would leave me time to cook as much and whenever I wanted. My second dream job would be something to do with teaching history and/or being immersed in history full time,
funderson
It gives me joy to bake/cook to feed my family good stuff not out of a box. That and the smell of baking bread is the best on the planet…
Kristin @NyceLife
I LOOVE to bake. Just wait until you have little ones- it's REALLY fun to bake with them!! I feel like I am sort of living my dream now- after working full time and mommying full time and going to school and working while Mark went to med school/residency/fellowship, I am finally able to be a SAHM to my 3! I loved my job as a nurse, but def. feel like it prepared me for THIS job, ha ha! My running dream is to run a sub 30 min. 5k, kind of sad. And to do my 1st half in less than 2:30.
chefkatelyn
I didn't run today BUT I blogged and linked you! It's a tear jerker, grab the Kleenex girlie girl!
I LOVE cooking, it is one of my favorite things in the whole world to get crazy with delicious ingredients:) My dream is to go to school for nutrition and public health, and then get a culinary degree!
ms. caboo
I love to cook, and I just wish I was a bit younger and had the money to buy all the good stuff to make some outrageous meals!
If I wanted to start over in a career, it would maybe have something to do either in medical research or nutrition. Of course, if I could get paid to read all day and share my opinion on books, that would be ideal! I don't get to read at work, darn it.
Stefanie D.
Um. My dream is to make my blog so super famous and awesome that I don't have to work anymore, and I can stay home with my Little C Baby all day! It WILL happen. :D
I would be a frequent diner at your dream restaurant. Sounds fantastic. :)
Sarah
I'd love to run a bed and breakfast some day, in Key West!
Lizzi
My goals = basically yours!
Especially regarding the breakfast menu! haha. And served allllllllll day… none of this McDonald's 10:30am cut-off bullshit :p
Christine
I love cooking! I'm getting ready to make a cake right now.
And if I could be anything I'd be a novelist, or at least work in the publishing industry. Or be a doctor, but there's now way I'm going back to school for 8 more years. Teaching is great, but I'm not sure if I can do it for the 40 years between now and retirement.
Lindsay and James Cotter
what a great dream. I'd love to open a bakery and a flower shop. But first I want to move back to New Zealand.
I'd love to work in your restuarant! It would be so wonderful. Dreams can and do come true ya know?!

I would LOVE to come to your restaurant! I bet you'd have a ton of good desserts.
You can hang your olympic medal there, in a place of honor! :-)
Kristy {Sweet Treats and More}
I love to bake because it relaxes me but I also enjoy the end product. And I love seeing other people enjoy something I make!
I'll eat at your restaurant/bakery. Culinary school would be awesome!
Laura
I LOVE your dream! I want to have a little bakery that just sells cookies. Like a specialty cookie shop. But I want half of the cookies I sell to be ridiculously healthy (but still tasty!) so people will stop looking at cookies as junk food and start looking at them like they would a bowl of oatmeal :-)
Tara
Baking is FUN for me and I love watching other people enjoy what I make!! My bestie and I have plans to open a bakery one day when we're a little older and not two single gals on teachers salaries.
ashley & sundance
I'd totally eat at your restaurant/bakery.
After everything that has happened in these last few days my dream is to run Ogden, qualify for Boston, and be a mommy. I'd also LOVE to become a pro-photographer. Once we do start a fam, I'd love to be able to stay at home with the kids, but still be able to help provide financially. :)
and… i don't really enjoy cooking… lol. i'm just not very adventurous when it comes to trying new stuff. we always have the same stuff: chicken and veggies. lol.

I would LOVE to go to Culinary Arts school. I actually toyed with the idea recently but I'd be away from the kiddos too much. I'll wait until they are older. :)
marathonmaiden
you're awesome. seriously. and a speedy awesome girl at that.
i don't mind cooking/baking. but i'd rather have someone do it for me.
dream job? working with kids as a pediatrician or in health care in some capacity. hopefully it'll happen soon!
Caroline
I do not like to cook, I am terrible at it. I know poor kids and poor Bill. I am good at other things!!! Dream job: to be Keith Urban personal assistant? ha ha I kid I kid. I would love to own a book store like the one Meg Ryan's caracter has in you got mail that's my dream job. I love books.
girlevolving.com
You will definitely make the Olympics… and be the sweetest and cutest athlete EVER.
Dream job: stay at home with my kids, do volunteer work with church and Special Olympics, be a blessing to people by doing things for them, baking, etc.
Elle
Aww Janae I think you'll make a great mom! And a great bakery owner!!
My dream job is becoming a teacher… thankfully I'm already on the path and graduating in May! I love kids so much, and hopefully one day I can be a Mom too.
I love baking because of my sweet tooth but I love cooking because you can be creative and fun with it. There isn't an exact science. I can let loose and have fun!
Have a great workout tomorrow!
Cait
as always you are fabulous! One of my dreams is to work at my own library..not per say my OWN but just be a part of one. Working with kids either at a School library or a public setting. Either way, talking about books all day makes me giddy happy! xoxo
Bess@Bess Be Fit
I'll come to your restaurant every day. Seriously maybe I'll just work there with you….that sounds fun :) I am currently working 2 different jobs (one at Duke and one at the gym) and doing other online entrepreneurial stuff to try to make bank so I can just come to utah and hang with you whenever I want. I hope you were serious about meeting up in Scottsdale bc I would die if that happened I'd be SO EXCITEDDDD.
runyogarepeat
I'd love to come to your restaurant, will there be treadmills available if there is a long wait? Or candy as a side choice?
Dreaming big is awesome! I hope you achieve all your dreams. I want to go to grad school (after I graduate) for public health nutrition, and I would love to go abroad to work on international nutrition programs for undernourished children and mothers…and a mom later on.
Electrical engineering school is like a full time job – that's my boyfriend's major. I never understand what he talks about, but it's smart stuff.
Sarah
I would totally come to your restaurant!! I would work for free!! My dream job is actually doing what I am doing now. I'm a Med Tech in a lab and I LOVE it. Hopefully, I will get to be the boss one day and boss everybody around. Now THAT'S my dream…bossing people.
hungry-dancer.com
You are so cute!! I would LOVE to go to your restaurant!!!
Beth
I read all sorts of food blogs and always daydream about going to culinary school! And then I wake up at my 9-5 desk job and get sad. I wish I could do something outside and active all day, but I haven't figured out what that is yet.
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail
You two are an amazing couple–you each support each other's dreams–daily. Billy must be a brain! Electrical engineer?! WOW.
I loved learning this about you. I know you are seconds away from becoming the poster child for endurance training, AND you want to go to culinary school? Love it!!! I can totally picture you on Top Chef Just Desserts by the way!! That would be perfect! YOu have the personality, looks, and cooking creativity to stand out!
My dream: Be a nutrition consultant and trainer and be my own boss!
my little celebration
My dreams are similar to yours, miss.
I hope to someday be a mother and coffee shop owner. Or, a fitness instructor. Or, an author. Maybe all of the above.
I enjoy cooking because I like eating what I make, and I like serving others through food. I like baking because
1) I get to lick the bowl
2) I get to eat one fresh out of the oven
3) I get to eat 3 immediately after that
4) I get extreme pleasure from a sugar coma.
My dream job would be a stay at home wife and mom and a freelance writer or author.
Sandy Stover
If you enjoy baking/cooking, tell me WHY?
It's fun to to figure out different flavors to put together. I also met my husband because of a cake I baked for a picnic :)
What is your dream job?
I would love to own a coffee shop/used bookstore. With baked goods and perogi bar (my hubby is the best homemade perogi maker ever)
Tracy Simmons
I love baking! I relaxes and excites me. I am working on making my dream job happen right now, fingers crossed :)
Jogging with Fiction
I'll totally come eat at your restaurant! Sounds delicious!
I just finished baking a batch of oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip cookies. Then i ate five of them for dinner. Yay!
Liz
I'll come to your restaurant! My friend and I actually want to open our own as well – a bakery/pizzeria that focuses exclusively on dessert and pizza!
Nicole
As long as chef janae joins me, ill come anywhere for food! :)
Mallory
Great dreams!! You WILL achieve them! I will definitely come visit the restaurant some day!! One of my dreams is to open some sort of social service agency to benefit children. My thesis was on homeless teenagers, which is something I'm super interested in. Unfortunately there is really no money in it because it's really difficult to get funding!
lolzthatswim
I want to be a teacher right next to your classroom. We could rock that team teaching ha! :)
Victoria (The District Chocoholic)
Being a real-life nuclear engineer, I think you should instead pursue the nuclear physicist idea. The deutron binding problem is fun.
Page
As with everyone else, I would totally eat at your restaurant. As long as there is really good pumpkin desserts – yes, that's a must!
brandy
OMG! My dream is to open a cupcake shop with my sister-in-law. I really hope one day I can accomplish it!
RoseRunner
I wish someone told me 3.5 years ago and $100,000 bucks ago that only 10% of lawyers make "mula". . . and that you are a slave to the loans for life…
Bachelor Talk: wtf on Ashley, don't really get why he's kept her so long. Chantal seems like the most genuine person the Bachelor has ever had, reallly emotional about the guy, so she's good to go. I don't know how Emily could possibly screw this up, he is so taken by her already. The clip of next week at Shawntels reminded of Ali's season, where she ended up booting Kirk on the home-town dates, because his dad had creepy dead animals in the basement.
I NEED this treadmill! the 60 minute restart thing is bogus and kills me! Your blog convinced me to give the treadmill a try, and I love how hard it makes me work. Today I did 1.5 hours at a 7:30 pace — something that is way harder to do when I'm outside and allowed to slow down at my whim… so THANK you for the inspiration.
Lastly, my dream is to own a frozen yogurt shop and/or a gym. My other is to be a park ranger at the Grand Canyon. Or any other incredible national park
endlessrunner
I love this post, you are too cute! "Little chicklets"! I love that you want to start your own restaurant! Can you name all of your dishes after marathons that you've run? Or name a special after one of your followers?!?! Too fun :)
Lisa {eatprayrun-lisa.blogspot.com}
i LOVE to cook too!! my husband and i talk all the time about how much we'd love to have a little restaurant/smoothie shop…then we think about how much work it would be and decide to scrap it. HA! i could eat breakfast all day long as well. in fact, i fed my kids b'fast for dinner 4 times in the last 2 weeks!! i love to see your food creations! keep dreamin' big : )
Laura @ Meet Virginia
THAT IS SO AWESOME! I would definitely come to your restaurant because I know it would be the best place ever!!! My dream job is definitely to just be a Mom! I was thinking that today. Might be a while though! :)
Sheanna
Oh Janae, I LOVE it! I would totally eat at your restaurant!!!!
My dream is to go back to school for Dietetics so I can become a registered dietician….And I'm going to do that this Spring!!!! WHOOT!!! I'm SO excited! I love, love, LOVE nutrition.
My dream job…Pediatric Dietician.
Dorry
VERY exciting! I love the thought of going to Culinary school. I just love to learn more about the things that interest me. My dream job would involve fitness, travel and writing!
Nicole
Amazing! I think we all have dream jobs and yours sounds very reasonable and exciting! I would love to eat at your restaurant.
I have a ton of big dreams and have been thinking about this a lot lately, since I kinda hate my current job. It's not that it's awful it's just not anything that I'd want to do much longer. I want to become a dietician and trainer= best of both worlds.
Adrianna
cute post! i love to bake, but honestly, its all so i can lick the spoon and bowl and paddle. i certainly enjoy the outcome, but nothing beats batter or dough.
i'd be a trainer and nutritionist. i already love going to the gym and eating healthy (for the most part!), and would love to help others find a passion in fitness and nutrition. for now i'll just do it for me :)
S
I WISH YOUR RESTAURANT EXISTED *RIGHT NOW*!!!!!!!!!
I would eat there everyday, no lie :)
I like baking because it makes the house smell nice :)
I want to live somewhere modest (in a hut in Africa?) and change people's lives for the better. I also want to run a race where I wont be (almost) last!!!! :D
cupcakedynamite
HAHAHA!! I love that one of your students had to tell you about your milk mustache. I'd for sureeeee come to your restaurant… will there be a candy bar?!?!
-Courtney
Diana Tries-A-Tri!
I want to write a cookbook so bad! I love cooking so much. I wish someone would support me and I could just sit around and develop recipes and eat and cook! I love it because I love being creative and trying new things and stuff that I didn't know or think I could do, or had never tried. Oh and I'd totally eat at your restaurant. I can picture swedish fish pancakes …
runningonwords
That's awesome that you decided to try a new career path! I'm still trying to figure out what I actually want to do with my life, although, being a mom sounds pretty good.
yourdailygrace.com
Your dream is amazing? I mean you're you so how could it not be! I'm not sure why I love cooking, it is frustrating sometimes but hopefully in the end you're satisfied? There is nothing better than whipping something up that is delicious but it can go the other way, too! I've toyed with the idea of opening a cupcake or cake store, who knows! I don't think it's essential to go to culinary school to open up a restaurant but it might help you learn the basics.
I'm not sure what my dream job is, wedding planner, maybe? I secretly want to be a stay at home mommy one day, which is sometimes not an acceptable answer these days, oh well!
XLMIC
Love baking… but not always great at it. I would come to your restaurant… will it be pricey?
I am living the dream. Being a mom is where it's at for me :) Just wish the pay scale was a little more flush ;-)
I do have a dream of living in Europe for a year or so… preferably with my kids WHEN they're kids. Trying to make it happen… that whole income thing makes it a little difficult.
Alexis
That sounds like a wonderful dream. I wouldn't mind owning my own business one day too — a boutique. But we will see!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking)
I would love to open my own bakery! I don't think I'd be so good at the business aspect, though. Mainly I just want to bake cupcakes all day :)
Zaneta
That's awesome!! I would definitely come to your restaurant!! Have you thought of a name for it yet? ;)
Katy
That is awesome! I am planning on opening a cakery/bakery! What a coincedence! I will come eat at your restaurant, for sure! And you should come eat a whole bunch of my cupcakes! :)
I think I will send you some trials once I am able, becuase if it gets your seal of approval, it must be delicious, since you are the expert!!
blackhuff
I enjoy baking and cooking because of how creative I can get in the kitchen. I like it too because I know I make delicious food and everyone who eats it, enjoys it just as much as I do.
I also like cooking with hubby. Team efforts are such a joy to me in the kitchen :)
You have wonderful dreams. I wish you well.
juliebelluk
I'm not really into cooking or baking but I watch OTHER people bake like its my job. Food Network is the #1 thing I miss while I'm living in London for a few months haha.
My dream is to be the best middle school history teacher EVER, travel a lot, and continue to run marathons and try an Ironman!
Holly
I LOVE to cook! My mom cooked but not much variety and not too interesting so I am sort of the opposite from her in that respect. It seems that every recipe I make or ones I make up myself taste awesome, and I've got mad baking skills as well. I would love to go to Culinary school, but don't think I really need to
Liv
I love to cook/bake, and I'd also love to do something food-related in the future. Right now I'm studying journalism as an undergrad, but depending on what happens in the next few years, I maybe want to become a registered dietician/nutritionist or go to culinary school! Maybe even open up a bakery/cafe of my own!
Good luck to your dreams, I'd definitely visit your future establishment :)
Kimberly
You are such a good wife! I've been there – sort of – and know how hard it can be. It's all worth it in the end.
I've always wanted to own a bakery. Coming up with fun cupcake flavors and flavor combinations is like nirvana for me. I'd also like to go to back school for dietetics and do obesity counseling. You know that whole make a difference thing.
J
I would love to open a bakery! It would be amazing! I would make cakes and pies and pastries! I would also prolly gain like 50 pounds but it would be fun!
Emily
I want to go to Culinary Arts school too!! I always say that if I could just run and cook/bake all day then I'd be happy! I used to hate cooking, it would stress me out, but something changed a year or two ago and now I'm obsessed with cooking and find it to be such a stress reliever!
Missy
I would definitely come to your restaurant, I love seeing all the pics of what you eat and it makes me want to eat more colorful foods!
Meredith
Hey girly! I love love to bake! Remember me? I decorate cakes & teach cake decorating part time. My sweet tooth is bigger than my head! Thank goodness I run or we would have a problem! I would love to bake & run all day, but this darn day job gets in the way.
I just started a cake blog! No running blog yet…
http://cakesophistication.blogspot.com/
I would so come to your restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner! My dream job would be to own a bakery & do cakes all day. And try not to eat them.
Chunky Monkey
What a great wife and life plan! And…how I so miss dodge ball! Keep dreaming!
Colleen
I'd love to see how you could incorporate swedish fish and gummy bears into dishes like chicken divan. I'm sure they teach you stuff like that!
Seriously… you'd make an awesome cook!
Pam
My dream job is to be a vet. One of these days when I strike it rich and can tell the post office to take my job and shove it I'm gonna go back to school for that.
Ashley
I would definitely come to your restaurant, especially if swedish fish were on the desert menu ;)
I love baking, it's rewarding to see other people enjoy what you created.
Dream job & Dreams: To have a family one day, to race a Late Model & Modified car at least once, and to work within the racing industry!
d.a.r.
My total dream would be to open a doggie rescue. Buuuuttt that's probably not going to happen. So, find a job where I don't want to cry on a daily basis and become a mommy. We will see :)
keepingupwithkaren
My dream is similar to yours. When I see an opportunity/think of a really great idea for exactly the kind of restaurant or bakery I want to open, I'm doing it! I really want to have a job that is completely my own "project".
I think people who are really into running are really motivated by effort that delivers tangible rewards, which is totally what owning your own business would offer. Annnd I definitely see kids on my horizon too.
P.S. I love your blog, you really inspire me!! I posted a link to your blog the other day on mine, hope you don't mind.
Brent and Mary Rose
Not only are we twins, but we have the same dream… how have we spent this much time apart?!!? Let's own a bakery together :) Hopefully Brent brings in the big bucks soon too so I can go to culinary arts school… my plan is to go in Peru though… wanna join?! LOVE you!
Holly
I would DEFINITELY come to eat at your restaurant or bakery! :)
My dream job is to be the best Mom in the world! & I really would LOVE to teach high school one day too (NO lie!). I think you are the one person that could understand why I would like that so much- other people are like whatttt?!?!? High schoolers?! Are you serious?! But I love them! I was a student teacher while I was in college & looked forward to teaching every day! The good news is that my dream can still come true :)
LAPT
Ummmm we are twins! I wanted to go to culinary school, but my parents said NO WAY, so I went to Duke. (I guess Duke was a good backup.) I love baking and decorating, so I actually made my sister's wedding cake + 250 cupcakes in four flavors with swirly frosting and hundreds of miniature shortbread heart-shaped cookies. Yeah. I love it. I support your decision. :-)
LindseyAnn
It's funny that you mention the dream job thing, because my fiance and I just had a discussion about that last night after I had yet another job rejection. I don't have an exact position in mind, but I just want to help people, somehow. I've thought about going back to school for something health/fitness related, but I just can't justify that expense right now.
Cooking/baking has been my release right now while I"m not working. I can't explain it, but working in the kitchen makes me feel better and productive and happy. :) I don't think I have the talent to pursue it as a career, but it's a fantastic hobby. :)
If I was ever in Utah, I'd definitely eat at your restaurant.
Big Daddy Diesel
I love to cook, its just fun
My dream job is to work for an organization that gets trouble kids off the street and teach them life skills to make a difference in the world
Lauren
The Olympics? That is crazy fast. You have to run a sub 2:30 to make the Olympic Marathon team. That would be pretty sweet!
Katie
i LOVE THIS! dream big, gorgeous girl, you can do anything!!!!!!!
Jae
1. I want to be more like you in how you love exercise and so peppy! :) i LOVE your blog, Janae.
2. I want to go to school on a full ride, with no worries about undergrad tuition (we have to save up for….)
3. Medical school! Even though I would love to not study calculus or physics for the rest of my life, I love the thought of my hands healing people. I want to be able to go to Appalachia and help others, taking no pay and etc :D
My dreams are big, but I have a big spirit so I know I can do this :D
Kelsey

That is so very cool that you have that as a dream. (I have no doubts that you'll make it to the Olympics!) I'm actually pretty jealous that you know what your dream is. I'm still trying to figure out what I should be when I grow up. Any suggestions?

Our big dream is to get land, start a farm and CSA and have a few more kids of our own and also be foster parents to inner city kids that will come live out on the farm. :)

Janae!!! Oh my gosh, when you told me I am living your dream, I had no idea that you were thinking about Culinary school!!! I am so excited to begin in 2 weeks… you can read my blog to follow me through the whole thing! Except my situation will be slightly different since I have Celiac Disease and have to be careful about what I am putting in my mouth. Is it sick that I am totally excited to begin classes partly because I will have access to the campus fitness center (which is loaded with treadmills)?? Jeeze, I am a nut!
DO IT DO IT!! You will be an awesome baker!!! I can see the Skittles Cupcakes now!
