look forward

[llghoney]

So now that you are in your 30's what do you look forward to for the next phase of life?

 

[AbidingInHim]

I stay tooo busy day to day to think abou tthe future much, I do think it will be really cool to see my kids as adults and watch them have families

 

[llghoney]

I think about having children & what it will be like!

Indescribable, have you been trying?

 

[llghoney]

nah just practicing! All of my friends have children so I have heard story after story!

 

[brokenbananas]

I'm thinking about retiring and actively pursuing retiring from engineering in my 30s. I don't really like working for someone else and am looking forward to retiring before I turn 40.

I don't see my 30s as a phase. Graduating college was the last great phase change I've experienced. Being 30 seems a lot like being 25. My goals haven't changed very much. From my perspective, only something like marriage could truly move me into another phase of life.

motherhood hopefully.

I need to figure out what to do with myself after my kids are in school all day, which will be happening next year. For 8 years I've been a stay at home mom and now all of a sudden that is ending and I'll have 6.5 hours a day to fill with something else. And I'm beginning to realize that I should have had some plans for when that day comes. I want to figure out what my true passion in life is, and then pursue that.

Something good hopefully

I can't look forward to anything until I can survive my son's teenage years. ICK

 

[Stanfi]

Wow, you guys make me feel so left behind!

I guess, buying a house. I would say getting married, but I don't think that I ever will.

 

[JulianaTheory]

I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up. My son is 16...in a couple of years maybe I'll figure it out. As for right now, I'm still homeschooling.

 

[Hiskid4ever]

Well my kids are 12 and 14 and as fast as time has seemed to go watching them grow up I know that it won't be long before they are completely grown and out on thier own.

I don't look forward to not having them in my life daily, but I do look forward to seeing what they do with thier lives.

I also look forward to the fact that my daughter graduates high school and turns 18 right before my 40th birthday (which now suprisingly doesn't sound THAT old anymore- LOL). And my hubby and I will have our 20th anniversary right around that time and he has promised me a trip to Hawaii and re-exchanging our wedding vows on the trip. So... I think I have a lot to look forward to.

Oh and also look forward to being a grandma, but let's keep that for about 10-15 yrs from now!

I am considering starting college in the fall of 2007 when my youngest starts kindergarten I will hopefully graduate by the time I'm 40 . depends on how long it takes me to get through what would be a 2 yr course, if I was going as a full time student and what type of child abuse advocate that dosen't require a drivers license that would enable me to work directly with abused handicapped children (I would love to be a court advocate ) .

I'm not sure I am looking to be a social worker either if this is what God wants me to do ! I know he wants me to work with abused handicapped children he made that clear to me a couple of years ago.

I look forward to watching my children grow, paying off the house, developing my hobbies... perhaps finding someone to share my life with.

I can relate!

We have another 7 years before our house is paid off - certainly looking forward to that!

There will be a huge shift in the household dynamics in a few years. My oldest son will be old enough to go on his own, and my daugther will be moving on to college. My youngest 2 will be older & more independant and I will get a little bit of breathing room.

 

[JPPT1974]

I am just looking forward
To just making it alive
Making every minute of it
Like it was my last day on earth
I should had thought of that earlier
But better late than never

Don't feel left behind! You may b the smarter one by waiting for certain things!

 

[JPPT1974]

Yeah my friend
Take it from the both of us
The best is yet to come!
