Those darn flying pigs

I was talking to a co-worker yesterday, and responded to a comment she made by saying, "Yeah, when pigs can fly." This got me thinking about things I didn't think would happen, but have. So I'm curious, what are goals you've had that you thought you'd never achieve or a situation you thought wouldn't ever get better, but did?

    Considering my socioeconomic status growing up, I never thought I would have any measure of success or end up middle class. I believed I would end up stuck in some minimum wage job forever. I also had terrible luck with the ladies as a teenager and never expected to find love, which I have found twice in my 20s.

    I never expect to develop super powers *crosses fingers*

    I never though my son (who dropped out of school) would go to University. His graduation is next month!

    Congrats on your success. I'm not giving up on my super powers yet. ;)

    When my hubby first broached the subject of marriage with me, I told him I'd get married again when pigs fly.
    At our wedding, his groom's cake had flying pigs.

    I never ever thought I'd ever be able to call myself a runner. I'd laugh at anyone who even suggested it! However, since Memorial day of this year, I've started running and to date have run 4 5K races. Still not up to my goal of running a 10K, but I'm getting there!
