Where is your heart?

I've been thinking about the future lately.
About how so many people have goals, and things they want to create.
I always just wanted to get to the next step.
I never thought about where my steps were leading me.

So, lately I've been thinking about my job, my family, and where its going to take me.
Kids, a husband, an education, travel...what does one do to get there?
Am I making the right choices to get the whole life? the dream life?

Being in the relationship deal that I am now, for some strange reason, is making me feel like family will fulfill my life more than just an education, and a job.
This is stranger than anything to me, seeing as I have never in my life wanted kids or a nagging slob of a husband.
But, I've been dreaming of having kids, three of em...two boys and a girl...and getting married to a tall, dark, and handsome man...and growing old and in love.
I also feel like just talking about it means its not going to happen.
I wish I could just be happy, secure, and willing to give it my all in everything I want to do.

Most people have dreams, so why can't I?
I want a beautiful house, family, animals, along with a job and a good education.
Family is more important that how much money is in my pocket.
I want this, and I need to remember this.
