As I grow older I realize more and more that I do want a family some day... I want a love so safe, so pure and so solid that the "scary" parts of having kids that have always made me say I never want any will seem so small and unimportant... I want a solid foundation here, making our money work for us so we can leave this small town and state it resides in; whether to travel or live somewhere entirely new... I have always felt like just because I have family business here and because it's always been my plan to take over some day, like I would be stuck here forever... never stopping to realize that when I'm the one in charge, I can simply choose to have someone else manage everything while I enjoy my life to the fullest seeking life and opportunities beyond those brick walls....
I guess what I'm saying is I'm changing.. and I'm both nervous and excited to build my life up with someone who wants the same some day...
