If you could look into the future, what would life be like for you and FH? How many kids, where are you living, are you working, etc? What are your plans?
FH and I planned on having kids right away (depends on this stupid economy), and he wants to help me pursue my dream of owning my own boutique. FH wants to live in Massapequa, and is currently looking for a split (under 4). I asked him if I could get an infinite FX after the wedding and he said we will have to see because we might be riding our bicycles around for a while ( please don't let us be in debt!).
And FH wanted me to stay home and raise our kids, which is cool, I could use a break from the 9-5. Instead I will be on call 24/7 with little FH's running around, screaming that they want food.
Lord knows whats really in store for us, but I am sure that it be one hell of a ride. Or I might hurt him first, who knows

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
After the big I-DO, we plan on waiting about 3-5 years to have kids. We want to travel, FH wants to further his racing, I want to get my CPA. Plus, we want to keep updating our home, so that takes time.
When we have kids, I absolutely will NOT be staying home. Sounds harsh, but definitely not and I've made that very clear to FH. I just completed my MBA and after we're married I want to sit for the CPA. I didn't do all this work and spend all this money to raise kids.....sorry personally for me, its not an option.

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
After we get married - ideally we would like to buy a house in the Huntington area - but - probablly won't have enough $, so might end up in an apt for a yr. We want to wait about a yr or two to have kids and we both only want 2 children. FH wants me to be a stay at home Mom (which I have no problem with!) as both my mom and his mom were stay at home Moms. Luckily he has a job that we can afford to do this. While the kids are at home...might go to online grad school to get my masters to eventually go back to work...but, we shall see!

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
We already have the house, so that's won't be an issue for us. We'll probably wait another year before having kids, but I'd like to be done having children between 30-33, and I'll be almost 28 when we get married. Both of us will work, FH knows I'm not meant to be a stay at home mom. And eventually, if he starts making enough money, I may go back to school for my doctorate.

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
FH and I want to wait a few years before kids. We want to travel and settle in a nice home.
When we finally do have kids if our budget allows I would like to stay home until they are in school. I would also like to persue my masters degree.
He is in construction and has always dreamed of building his own home so if we can possibly do that I would love to live in a home made just for us.

We want to wait a few years to have kids. We want to be able to buy a home. Who knows if that home will be on LI or someplace else. I think it will depend on our jobs. I will not be a stay at home mom, i want to work.

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
we're not sure if we're going to be able to buy a house right away, because im finishing my masters this year, and next year will be my first year working full time. if not, we plan on getting an apartment for about a year before we buy a house. in terms of kids i want to so bad, but im a teacher, and so i want to wait until i get tenure somewhere.

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
I really want to travel our first couple of years together as husband and wife...I want to be able to see the world before we settle down and have children. Also we plan on trying to find a house to start our lives in. Something in a nice area and something affordable enough that when the time comes that we have children, I will be able to be a stay at home mom and not have to worry about making mortage payments every month...

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
We will stay in the apt we are in now....and decide whether or not we want to stay in NY or move down south. I don't have a 'age cut off' for having kids. I'll be 28 when we get married and don't mind waitinig 4 or 5 years to have a baby...

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
after we get married we will save for a house and hopefully just further our careers and do some traveling.
after about 4 years we would like to start having kids (hopefully 2 of them!)....I don't plan on staying home with the kids. I have put too much time/energy/money into my education (just finished my masters) to cut my career short...nothing wrong with those who choose to stay home with their kids, but for me its just not what I plan on doing

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
hopefully we will be in a house right around the time of the wedding. we have everything strictly budgeted and will be able to start house shopping around December/January. since we dont live together now i would like to stick with my old school ways and not live together before the wedding. but we will see what happens when the time cones.
i see us going on a few vacations here and there but nothing crazy. we have decided to work hard NOW and start a family young so we can retire young and then enjoy our retired lives together traveling. this is our time to save save save and provide for our family. im just finishing my masters in education and i will (fingers crossed that i get a job) be working somewhere on the island full time. i should really have tenure before i go popping out kids but im not going to let anything let me put the life i want on hold. i plan to raise my own kids. and eventually go back to work. FHs job will remain the same, he owns his own business and has a 10 year lease for the building he is in now, so he's not going anywhere for at least that amount of time.
ooo and i would like a range rover and NO pets. cats skeeve me and dogs are annoying
these have been awesome QOTDs!

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
Well I'm currently 29 and will be 31 by the time I get married so we'll start trying immediately ! We want to have 2 children and I would like to have them both before 35. I'm a registered nurse and will continue to work after having the kids. Hopefully we will be moving into a home right before the wedding but we currently live apart.

Re: QOTD: What are your plans for after the big I-DO?
We decided sometime next summer after we get married that we wanna move upstate NY, get away from the crowds and the city. I want to buy a house there with lots of land, find a good teaching job, and have 2-3 kids in a few years
