Musings from a wanna-be housewife

I often find myself feeling like this picture. A dainty 50's housewife who always has a delicious dinner planned, precious children--and check out that stud husband--and handles all of it with grace. Okay, maybe not feeling like the picture. But I have this naive vision that this image is how my life will be 10 years down the imaginary road. And I mean, I have given this much thought. Down to the kids' names. Harper, Betsy, Carryington Jenna (Cara J), Liam & Shaeffer. But who is asking?

I even, embarrassingly, have an album on my computer entitled "Future Home," where you will find pictures of how I plan to decorate said "Future Home." Is that weird? I think it is. I mean, I'm a freshman in college. I'm a dreamer?

I'm insanely envious of bloggers I follow that have homes and children. I can't help it--I've always wanted to have a big family and keep a house. That so-called motherly "gene" was passed down to me, that much I know!

My dear suitemate calls me her "mom away from home." Probably because I bake, clean, and hand out advice wrapped in sarcastic comments & witty remarks.

You're a saint if your still reading this mumble-jumble, so I will get to the point for your sanity. I refuse to think about this stuff in my free time. I'm in college & I LOVE it. I'm having the time of my life, meeting wonderful people and growing in my faith. Cliche, but I have learned a lot about myself. So please don't read this and think I am depressed and waiting to get married so my "real life" can start. Not at all.

I just want to live in the "now," and when "that part" of my life happens, you will know. Believe you me.

Anyways, just random musings from my mind today.
