My Future

Car rides with mom.  They can always lead to interesting conversations....
Last night, my boyfriend talked about our future together and the serious possibility of marriage.  Now I want to make sure you know the background. lol 
I have know him since I was in 3rd grade so it's been awhile.  We started actually "dating" when I turned 16.  We dated for about a year when I realized that I was not ready for a serious relationship.  2 years late we reconnect and begin hanging out.  We both realize that we still have that strong connection that will never break so we begin dating again. 
I vowed (before I had even started talking to him again), that the next person I date will be the one I marry because I wasn't going to date anyone I didn't see a future with.
So we talked about marriage and kids (because that is an important topic when my dream is to have a HUGE family lol).  My mom got a TAD bit freaked out. :)
So this morning in the car ride to school (since I still haven't found a replacement car for the totaled one) she decided to question me on my feelings for this guy.  haha mom's should never ask questions they do not want to hear the answers to :)
She also wanted to stress that I did not seem ready for such a commitment and that I should finish schooling before I even think about it. 
I am really torn on this whole school thing.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE school.  But think about it.  The career I am pursuing requires an 8 year degree.  By then I will be around 26-27 years old.  Also the career I would like would require me to work during school hours.  I've always wanted to home school my children. Plus I always hoped that by that age I would be settled down and starting a family.  So whats the point of paying for school when I will probably never use it?
I am in lots of prayer on all this so I just need to wait and see what God's plan is for this stage of my life.  Until then, I plan on focusing on digging into His word and focusing on school.  Gotta love life :)

Computer Stations

You know that annoying person next you who doesn't seem to realize that there are other people around them?  I don't understand why colleges decided to put computers so close together. Potato chips and drinks should be outlawed while at a computer station!!!! (or I just have a low level of concentration in general lol) And if you have headphones on, I should NOT be able to hear your music. ugh. no thought of anyone around them.  So the next time your at a computer station and your about to bite into that chip or crank up your music, think about those around you. :)
