hah! good one! lol. but so far, since I haven't even met her, i don't need it.... yet!

you may indeed ask!

We plan on buying a home in 2008. Our lease is up in September, so either before or around that time. Hopefully also around that time he'll be making enough at work to support me, so I can be a stay at home mom. His company is very big on internal advancement, (he's getting a pretty great raise at the end of this month!) and raises, so we think it's a do-able timeline. I may work a part time job, maybe nanny-ing again, while we're trying and before our first child is born. He has an asociates degree, and his company has a program where they'll pay for tuition for him to finish (as long as it's business oriented) so he's considering that, just taking 1-3 classes at a time so he's not too overwhelmed. I'd like him to do that, but a degree isn't necessary for him to have a very well paying job, so it's up to him. I want to finish my doula training (in postpartum care for now, maybe labor later), and get certified to teach the bradley method of childbirth. So I won't really be a sahm, I'll probably work 10-15 or less hours a week, and bring in a *little* money. Those are all things where it'd be acceptable for me to have a baby along, or at least where i would only be away for a little bit of time. We are so excited for me to be able to stop dancing and be a mommy, and do things that are really fulfilling for me. He's such a good man, and is so excited for us. We also want to homeschool our children. We have common values, we're both very family-centric. It would be so great for us,and we'd be so happy, to just have a simple, loving, caring life. Nothing huge or anything, just that :)

We still have a lot of things we aren't sure about that, but it's ok. He has always lived in this area, and would maybe like to move someday, I would prefer to stay here. He's not as...... i dunno how to say it....... naturalistic..... as I am, but he's willing to learn and he's so supportive (although I think I freaked him out a bit the other day when I mentioned tandem nursing!). He's the realistic one, I'm the dreamer. We compliment eachother so well.

He'd someday like to own his own business, and I think he'd be really good at it. After we're done making babies, and our children are older, I'd maybe like to become a midwife. All of that is for someday though, we'll see.

He will be a fantasic father and provider, supporter and best friend. I hope to be an excellent mother and wife, supporter and best friend for him.

Writing this our made me cry! I'm such a sap :)

I like those goals. They sound very stable and wise. It would be good for him to get his bachelor's for job security. Oh, are you currently doing doula training? I didn't know that. Kudos. If you have any questions about nursing school, you may ask me. I know that Kailynn is also an RN, and greenidlady is an LPN.

The venetian is gorgeous...thats where we stayed when we went to vegas...what a gorgeous wedding that will be! I never even thought of people getting married there...but how perfect it is for that!!!

As for any naysayers here or in real life...I have 2 thoughts on that.

1) I was engaged at 21. I thought I was in love, we were together for 5 years(total..before and after the engagement)and I had no reservations that we would be together forever. I thank fate every day that i didnt end up with him. I would be THE most miserable person now I wouldnt be able to stand myself.

2)Then again....when I married my husband....we got engaged after 9 months. It was another year and a half after when we actually got married...but pretty much everybody told us we'd never last. That we were too differant, that we were on the rebound(I was getting out of a 5 yr relationship..he was getting out of an 8 yr relationship...both within only a few months of when we met). My parents didnt speak to me for 6 months and up until the week of were refusing to come to my wedding. To this day..they have never given us a wedding gift. We were told by all that we'd be divorced in less then a year. In June, we'll celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary and it gets stronger every year.

So my point is....when it's right, it's right no matter what anyone else thinks. If you have thought about this and come to a logical(and not just passionate..fun though that is!LOL) conclusion that this is what is right for you...which it sounds like you have...then odds are in your favor.

Marriage is always a crapshoot. Sometimes the best couples surprise you and end up divorced and the oddest cpl stays together forever. Do what is right for YOU and nobody else and you'll greatly increase your odds for happiness!!


And make sure you take LOTS of pictures....you will make an absolutely breathtaking bride.

I don't need to wait, because it's unnecessary. Marriage is the next step for us. Why should we take that step in tiptoes? Because convention tells us to? Because dating for a long time, and having a long engagement leads to a long and successful marrigae? it doesn't. Love, respect, mutual beliefs. that leads to a happy and successful marriage. and it doesn't have to be "slow" to be right

and I don't, at all, feel like I'm moving too fast, or fast at all.

i totally 200 percent agree with that. totally right on. no need to wait at all.
