Until then, I could perhaps wax eloquent for an hour or two all about how life has been quite adventurous from VA to CA and back to VA....? That's about all the story I've got currently. Oh! No no!

I always wanted to be a homeschooling mom, but at the same time I knew that was not guaranteed, so I would tell people I wanted to be a writer, and I did go to college so that I would a) be able to support myself if/when necessary, b) I would be able to homeschool in pretty much any state in the US without too much red tape, and c) I could just learn more about the worldHamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-37425513356020836082015-06-16T10:14:47.846-04:002015-06-16T10:14:47.846-04:00Yes, I agree with you--there isn't necessarily...Yes, I agree with you--there isn't necessarily only ONE "perfect person" for everybody. I think it's more like if you're meant to get married, God will make sure there's at least one person out there that you can be happy with.

I never dated in high school, or the first year of college, and I spent a LOT of time wondering if I was ever going to realize my dream of getting married and having kids and being a homeschooling mom.

I found one that was so beautiful and elegant, lots of satin and beading, huge huge huge skirt, like something out of Gone with the Wind. The bodice and sleeves were all lace, and I was sooooooo sad, because it was so gorgeous, but... super itchy.
