The ...You bring up many valid points here, Lindsay! The identity "crisis" happens to a lot of younger moms. I know I went through that phase too. Hard times...<br /><br />It's funny...I never did the college thing (I don't count my short stint in beauty school. Cue Grease music!). Not sure why, I just don't remember college ever being something we talked about as a family when I was young. But I can tell you this...even though I have loved my path, and even though when I look back and see where I might have changed some of my choices...I can't find a single one. I love that I am now reaching this new phase of me-time as my kids are getting older--I feel like the world is opening up! Thankfully God knows each of our paths and has them worked out specifically for us. <br /><br />(Another thought, for what its worth...college is something I talk about A LOT with my girls! LOL) <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!!

As you can tell, I had lofty dreams as a child. ;) <br /><br />Kids definitely shake up life, that's for sure...and, bonus! Yours make you laugh constantly! And us, thanks to the wonders of FB!

Many of my friends growing up wanted the same thing as you...to be a mom. I have always wanted kids, but it was never this big driving need. Instead, I've always been focused more on academics and career success (not that I have a glamorous career, but I'm more talking about my writing). My husband and I have been married 6 years and still don't have kids (though we married at 21 and 22), but we both got our graduate degrees in that time and I've been doing the writing thing. For a long time, I was really fearful of losing my identity in other ways once becoming a mom, since it's so all-encompassing. But I know many ladies who write and do the mom thing, and I know my mindset will shift when I actually have kids.

Sigh. :) <br /><br />I always loved dolls and babies and babysitting but I wasn't sure I wanted any of my own until I met my husband. I knew I wanted to be married and I wanted to be involved in the ministry, but being a mom wasn't my number #1. I probably would have marked something else, like a teacher or a lawyer, on my card. lol <br />After marrying my husband, we knew we wanted two children. Never had big dreams for a large family. And we're not. But we're happy and I love being a mom. My kids blow my mind in good ways, mostly, every single day and I'm so glad that God laid having them on my heart! <br /><br />Congrats to your sister!<br /><br />Jessica R.
