Turning over a new leaf in my life


I’ve just turned 24 and realized that in 5 years from now I’d like to be getting married and having babies. Originally I saw myself getting married and having babies at 27 but that’s 3 years away and I find it highly unlikely to be in that position in my life by then.

I’ve NEVER been in a serious long term relationship. I think the longest relationship I was in was maybe 5 months and that was on and off. Have I been ok with being single? Yes. It is a lot easier being single. The reason I’m most interested in dating is to find someone to marry and have kids with. There are other benefits but the only two I care about are those.

So I’ve got 5 years to find a boyfriend and get him to marry me. Technically a little less if you think about it because I need time obviously to get to know someone and make sure he’s the one.  I believe in love at first sight however it takes a lot more than love to make a life long marriage work. I would like to get married once and only once and stay married till the day I die.  But according to today’s standards that’s going to be ridiculously hard to find.

Join me on my journey to finding Mr. Right and the father of my children. I’ll be writing every week to keep you updated on the status of my mission.
