What's Project Manatee?


When I was younger, first grade or so, my class adopted a manatee that lived in Florida. It was a fun class project as we studied sea animals. The endangered species organization would send the class pictures of our manatee with fact sheets, etc. That experience was one of my most significant memories and since then I have dreamed of seeing manatee in real life. Well, last year for our annual vacation my husband and I went to Walt Disney World and I saw my manatee. Two of them in fact. It was one of those dreams come true kind of moments.
Now I get that seeing a manatee in real life is a strange dream but, it was mine and something I wanted. I think everyone has a dream that they want to come dream. Some may be silly in the eyes of others but its theirs and they deserve to see it happen.
My next dream is to have a baby.  My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for almost 3 years now. It might as well be FOREVER. We've been experiencing all sorts of emotions and having so many experiences throughout all of this. So with that in mind and as a way to get everything out so I don't go crazy this blog is dedicated to the dreamers in the world. The ones that want to see a manatee.
It's about the reality of life. It's honest. It's full of emotion. And it's the story of my dreams.

It's Project Manatee.

  1. It doesn't seem like you've wrote in a while... but I still wanted to say this. It was my dream to see a manatee too, I learned about them in 1st grade from a book I borrowed from the library. Finally got to see one when I was 18... and I too now suffer from infertility, and stumbled across your blog. thank you for this, though there are few entries.
