Jumping the Gun, er, I mean broom

In the last week I have found out about 1-2-3-4, maybe 5 engagements in my peer group.

I don't think it is the same as it was for our parents. They got married, because that is what you did as soon as you got a good job. Your next mission was to find a woman and buy a station wagon. Understandably so. They were the Baby Boomers, their call was to procreate, which to them included marriage.

For us marriage is punctuation. We are the children that grew up with computers. We are the first generation that can dare to dream anything we want to because of the infinite possibilities promised to us by education, technology, and for many of us wealth. Maybe it is because I am single, but if I meet one more girl who says "I don't want you wasting my time, cause my clock is ticking" I am going to scream! I got a LOT of dating left in this body.

I ain't thinking bout that! I got much to do prior to popping the question.

My cousins who have been married for about 2 or 3 years, recently found out they are pregnant. It is such a joy to hear two young people be excited about pregnancy--after marriage. After having consoled so many of my boys through the roughest 2-3 weeks of their lives, it is refreshing to be reminded of how rewarding the gift of life can be.

"I want our parenting to come from planning."
