Sweet Catastrophe

I was talking to Larry (he’s one of the big guys down in Lumber) this weekend and he was asking me about school and how it was going this semester and we got to talking about what I’m planning on doing after school.

Good question! I really think that all depends on Ryan. I don’t think he’s settled on exactly where he wants to be, and I know I honestly don’t care. I’d prefer not to be in a really large city, but I know I could adapt.

Apparently, some people these days have a problem with my ideal lifestyle. Can I just remind everyone, that even though the ‘housewife’ was once a standard women fought to get away from, that doesn’t mean there can’t be people who genuinely choose that life. I’m not uneducated. I’m not blinded by society, I just know what I want.

For instance, I’m a General Studies major. Does that give you the idea that I came to college for a specific degree? I wanted my degree, period. I’m getting exactly what I want out of my education, based on the emphases I’ve chosen and I couldn’t be happier with that.

If I have to work, I’ll be able to. If I’m all set to live on some NC waterfront property while Ryan is off on a 6 week tour, I can do that too.

Seriously though, with what I want to do in life, I can do that anywhere. As far as family, I just don’t do many visits as is, I’m sure that wouldn’t change much. At most, I’d have to travel further, stay longer, and have more enriched visits with my family. I’m okay with that.

We can live in North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, Utah, Colorado, or even Texas for all I care. As long as there’s a me, and a Ryan, and we’re living well, I can be happy.
