Who ME?

 I have a few other blogs but I haven't done anything on them in forever. I'm sure I will go back and post of them again eventually but I figured why not make a new blog?

I have recently graduated from college with a degree in agricultural education. For the last four and half years that had been my goal in life. Now that I have reached that goal I find myself wondering what most college grads wonder... "What Next?"

I am in a very committed relationship to a wonderful man who has loved me and supported me this past year as I am getting my life together. It has been four years for us and I am hoping for many more years to come. Now society dictates that we should get married and have 2.5 children. I feel this isn't going to be the case with my boyfriend and I. Now don't get me wrong just like any other little girl I dreamed of having the perfect wedding, of  the big white dress, lots of dancing, and pledging myself to the man I love in front of God and family. What's changed you wonder? Nothing, I still want all of that but the man I love doesn't want that, and you know what I don't care. I accept and respect his wishes and if it means I can be with him then I will forgo walking down the isle for the rest of my life. Now most people would think that's crazy but I feel that love is crazy and doesn't make sense.

Now to address the 2.5 children. This is the part where I am glad my boyfriend and I agree. We both want to be parents someday. Not now, but someday. Though like any couple we disagree with the number of children someday. I would love to have two where he would like one. I will laugh because it would happen to me my luck that I would become pregnant with triplets. Right now though we both aren't ready for children. My mother on the other hand is ready to be a grandma. Well she will have to wait a few years yet because I am still discovering who the person I am now is. I know it's her worry that she will be too old to really enjoy her grandchildren when they are born, but she has nothing to worry about she is still young herself. I think sometimes that she forgets she is still in her forties. This is because of all the hard work she does supporting my father and my brother. Not saying my father doesn't help because he does he works just as hard as she does. I have amazing parents who through all the rough times we have had supported my brother and I giving us as many opportunities as they could. Family is huge in my book.

I am starting the blog to document my life including past, present, and future. I thought about writing a novel but then the idea came to me that a blog would be better because I can look back at posts and keep writing them in the future as I get older. So let me introduce myself (excluding last name). My name is Kaitlyn Marie, I am a 23 year old woman. I have a degree in agricultural education and I have a licence to teach for the next 5 years. I look forward to blogging and seeing what the future brings me. If you are reading this then thanks for taking the time to read and I hope you have a good day/night.
