If you have a Dream, and you believe, sooner or later those Dreams will come true. There is no ifs or buts…put it out there to the universe and watch how your life changes! Yet sometimes in life we ask for a dream and it comes true sooner rather then later! That is what has happened to our family….have you experienced that in your life?
Dreams Come True Sooner Then Expected
Hayden and I at the beach
Today I rushed out the door with David and Nicholas. We had to be up early, and on the road by 7.00am in the morning. Seen as how I dont get to bed (normally) till after 11.00pm and I like to wake up about 8.30am, being on the Road by 7am is not fun! Lucky I knew I had to be out and about early, and went to bed early the night before. You see we had to pick up Hayden from the train station and get him over to Maroochydore by 8.00am. He was given a call yesterday from his Case Manager in the Navy. He was not expecting the call. Neither were we.
Yes He is in the Navy.
Yes He has passed all of his tests so far.
Yes He still had to pass the fitness test (which we knew he would – and he was only doing the test because the navy asks everyone, even his case manager said it was a waste of time because Hayden is so Fit that they could tell by looking at him that he would pass)
Dressed For His Navey Interview
Another Call Another Day Another Step Closer
Today was the day.
We thought that he was not going to be asked to do the fitness test until next year sometime.
He thought that he had time up his sleeve. He even signed up for the cricket season near where he lives. He even got his cricket bag sent down from our storage container in Bundaberg.
We are now waiting! It looks like Dreams Come True Sooner in our house. We are waiting for a phone call. If he gets this call in the next few hours he is in the Navy.
Saying Goodbye Wont Be Easy!
He will be gone.
He doesn’t even know how to get everything organised in time. You see we thought he would be given a months notice. We all thought there was more time.
Yesterday the phone call he received asked him if he was serious. If he wanted there is a position available for this year. Other wise he would have to wait for sometime next year for another position to become available. That could mean that he would have had to wait for anytime next year….anytime from February till June. He didn’t want to wait that long. He rang around every family member that he could think off, and asked for their advice.
He decided to take the offer that was given to him yesterday.
Dreams Coming True?
Today he finds out.
Today we wait for him to call us. His Navy Case Manager will let him know later today. When he gets the call saying “Yes, you passed your Fitness Test” ….”Yes, your position is available”…”Yes your are in”….that means he will be gone.
Spending Time with his brothers.
He will be in the Navy. The date that is available this year is – 17th October 2011.
He has 10 days to get himself ready. Oh my gosh – 10 days to see his dream come true! This is going to be the most full on craziest 10 days of our family life. We sure know how to change our lifestyle fast!
10 days. Saying that out loud, writing that down. I am not sure how we can get him ready for 10 days time.
You see he has most of his stuff still at his Grandparents house.
You see he has a full time job – not much notice for them to replace him?
You see I want to spend more time with him – yet he has to get himself ready. Ready mentally as well as physically.
I still think he is too young – but I realise that this is his dream. Who am I to stand in his way?
There is no way I would not encourage him to go – when he rang yesterday he was asking me if he should put it off until next year. I told him to chase his dreams…accept the position/date that is on offer. As it might be his time to go (follow his heart), and it might be the universe letting him know that this is the right time. It still depends on how other people go with their fitness test.
That sounds like I hope the other people out there dont pass there fitness test….its not that I hope they dont pass, its just that I hope Haydens Dream comes true sooner rather than later.
I am still waiting for his phone call – with a scream “Yes” I am going to Melbourne on the 17th October or “Not this time Mum”
Have you ever had a dream come true sooner?
Cheers

The suspense is killing me. I really hope Hayden gets exactly what he is looking for. Can’t wait too find out. You certainly are going to have a hectic 10 days to get ready.
