but I am the ultimate procrastinator! I have done only the BARE minimum lately and really need to buckle down. I want to be a teacher for 2nd graders! Many people mistake my feeling of not wanting to have a child with the fact that I must not like children. This is not the case....I LOVE children, i have nieces and absolutely adore them. My thought is there are so many children out there that have no parents, no family, or the just have really crappy ones. Why should i bring another child into the world, when I can help another one?!? My husband on the other hand feels the complete opposite! (and yes we did discuss this before we were married and knew our feelings before marriage, and yes we still got married!) He doesn't think he could love a child that wasn't his, no he's not a monster and he is in LOVE more than anyone I know with his nieces and 5 year old brother. He just really wants one of his own, I'm just not quite there yet. I think we have finally come up with a compromise....we will have 1 maybe 2 of our own, and since we can't just test out adopting and see how he feels about it we are going to become foster parents! I'm pretty excited about it. Of course, we have a lot of research to do and I've heard that the system can be very exhausting....it will be worth it!
On another note we got our official orders for Germany. We are leaving on February 23rd and will be in Germany the following day. I'm so excited...for some reason I feel guilty about being excited. I think it's because I will be really far from my friends and family and will be missing a lot of family things (we have 4 weddings this summer that we will be missing). We have to fly to Texas to catch our flight to Germany and since we have a dog who has never been on a plane or even in a car for more than a few hours we are going to fly in on Saturday. This way she will be on a plane for a few hours and realize she will live and we will be there when she lands. I'm gunna try and ease her in a little! i think we will sedate her too, cause 15 hours is a long time!
Well, I better get back to homework.
oh and ps i need some idease for a clever name for my blog. "The Swangers" is so boring!
