not so distant future.

while most of us are worrying about the next school year, i have been thinking about after high school.

college.

dating.

getting engaged.

marriage.

having a family.

and all that follows.

what has brought this unnecessary worrying?  you ask.

my dearest cousin, Stephanie, who is 18, has recently agreed to get married to a RM. i am so incredibly happy and super excited.

and then there is my aunt, Ashley, she is pregnant with her first.

both of these ladies are less then 5 years older then me. which means most likely in about 5ish years, that could be me.

crazy.

i am just starting my sophomore year. and have not started dating yet.

so, why am i so frazzled by all of this?

i don't know... but lets face it, everyone thinks about their future right?
