Dodge Viper for a Rockstar

Once in a while, something awesome happens when we can pretend we're part of the rich and famous crowd.  Ya, we don't have a lot of money, but we have a really great life.  We've got healthy kids, and most of the time get our needs met with just a little left over for savings. 

It'd be nice to have some of the more expensive things in life, but let's be real... you can choose to be wealthy, or you can choose to have kids and be a stay at home mom.  Some people get both, but most of us don't.  We made that choice without a seconds hesitation with our first pregnancy, and haven't regretted it for a second each year that has passed.

But still - it's nice to get a chance to pretend just the same.

My husband's boss had a Dodge Viper that he let him borrow.  I don't know how he talked him into that - other than my better half can sell ice to eskimos.  Somehow, we ended up with one for a weekend.

It was a big car that has a tiny little cockpit - I barely fit since I'm six feet of Amazon.  It was super fun, but my joy was more for my husband than me.  Let's take stock of how lucky I am here.

I have a husband who's made it a priority to go without so that I can do the stay at home mom thing.  He's not complained once as I try to do school - hopefully so one day we can both give our kids opportunities that we haven't had.  Best of all he believes in me - footing the bill for professional editing and publicity.  He's put all his dreams on hold for his wife and kids.

He's a rockstar.

So, for this one weekend he got to live this fantasy, and I stepped aside so he could share it with his boy.  Beckett was not nearly as impressed, as you can see, but I was super happy to see this grin eat up my husband's whole face when he rolled up in this monster.  It was great - two of my most favorite men in the world, rolling along in a Viper.  Does it get better than that?
