HAVE YOU SEEN THE SNOW!!!

I think I have heard my husband quote that about 100 times, but really have you seen the snow, it is crazy, but also beautiful.

What would you do if you won the Lottery???

I know what I would do, well atleast I think I know what I would do. Last night I had a dream that Mark (only the man in the dream was not Mark, how weird is that) and me won the lottery, I can't remember everything we did, but I remember that we moved to Africa and lived in the wild with all the animals. I don't know about you but if I won 30 million dollars I don't think I would move to Africa and live in the wild, I would definitely visit but not live there full time. So then this morning I got to thinking what would I do if I won the Lottery (even though I know that will never happen seeing as we don't buy Lottery tickets). First off I would move, no questions, I don't know where but I know it would be someplace that I could have a beautiful home on a lake. My home would honestly not be huge, probably a bungalow that is about 1800 sq feet on each level. So nice and big but not ginormous. Reason being I would hate to have to clean a house that big and there is no way I would have maids, the thought of that, ewww no way. I would definitely share with my family and Mark's family so that we could all be well off financially and go on lots of vacations and spend lots of time together as a family. Does a million for each family sound fair. I would probably then take about 10 million and invest it in something with high interest and just live off that for the most part. Our home would be on about 300 acres, and we would have horses, cows, a husky and a Labrador. We would spend our days riding our horses, going on runs with the dogs, canoeing on the lake, and spending time together as a family. There is no question some of that money would go to help the needy, but to be honest I don't know what I would do, I think I would other just take a big chunk of it and give it to the church and say hear, do what you need to with it, or I would start up some kind of charity, seeing as I would not be working, and devote a lot of my free time to that. It would other be something like the SPCA, or something that helps children who's parents don't have the money to put them in all the activities children should be in. We would travel someplace amazing every year, first starting with Africa. Then when are children are about 17 and 15 we would travel for a whole year around the world. See everything, experience everything. Now if only I could make this dream happen without winning the Lottery.

So my question is What would you do if you won the lottery, I would love to know what other people's dreams are, so if you want to have some fun dreaming up the perfect life do so on your blog so I can read it, or for those who don't have a blog just let me know.
could you imagine waking up to this every morning
