            Forty years old. Hopefully when I’m 40 I will still look much younger. People always tell me looking young will pay off when I’m older. I see myself as a 40 year old who looks like he’s in his late 30’s. I don’t think I will lose my immature sense of humor. I will still crack stupid jokes and draw penises on other people’s things.

            My wife will have to love these qualities because lets face it, she knew what she was getting when she married me. I will have been married for around 10 years. I don’t know if I have met my wife yet or not. But I do know one thing, if I do know her, I’m not expecting her to be my wife.

            My wife and I will have 3 kids, two girls and a boy. My little boy will be the youngest. Their names will be Summer, Sophia and Sammy. Summer is the oldest. She is four years older than Sophia and Sammy. Sophia and Sammy are two years apart.

            I will be living in Mandeville, Louisiana. I’ll raise my kids on the lakefront, right around where I grew up. I will be a big sports dad. I’ll coach my son’s football team and go to all my daughters’ practices. We will be a very competitive family so we will bring out the best in each other. It won’t always be pretty though.

            I will be working for FOX 8 News. I will be the exclusive Saint’s sideline reporter. I will travel with the team and be the only reporter allowed in the locker room. They’ll let me do this because they’ll know how dedicated I am to the team and I would never let out any information that would hurt the Saints. When they win the Super Bowl, I would also get a ring. I would also be a part time scout for the team. I would have a chance to give my input on players that I feel will fit the system and would be available for us when we draft. My job would be very unique and no other reporter in the country would have hands on interaction with their team like I will.

            My family will be very close. They will be close to their aunts and uncles and cousins. I have a big family now so after we each spit out a few kids were gonna be our own community. I will live close to my sisters and brothers. Everywhere we go, other families will be like, “Oh God, here come the Sanderson’s”, and we’ll love it.

            The more I write and think about this the closer it seems. I have a lot that I have to take care of if this is going to be my life. I believe that we can all turn our dreams into realities if we really try. If this is what my life ends up being, I’ll be one lucky guy. I look forward to making this dream come true.
