Many times my fairy tale fantasies end with the idea of the perfect wedding, the perfect honeymoon, and matrimonial bliss in a cute little house maybe out in the middle of nowhere. I have started to see, though, that the happiness doesn't end there. Every time I go over to Shane and Anna's house to hang out, I find that I really enjoy watching the boys play with each other, wrestle with their daddy, then get sleepy and snuggle up with momma. I definitely someday want to find my own man and have that small, sweet wedding and live in a house that I get to decorate - and I want to have time where it is just the two of us - but I also look forward to the days when little handprints cover my windows and the living room is strewn with superhero capes and sippy cups; to nights filled with perhaps nothing more exciting than reading a bedtime story with the kids then filling out March Madness brackets after they are in bed (exactly the way my evening with the Wanamakers ended haha).
I love where I am in life right now, though. There is no way I would trade these college days for being married right now, or maybe even a second chance at high school. I want to appreciate every moment of my life and have no regrets for how I have lived. I don't want to constantly wish a certain stage of my life away in order to get what I think will be better. But I am excited to see where God takes me over the next 5-7 years... I could be in for a lot of changes! But as my friend Noel says, "Life keeps getting better every year." And I completely agree.
