I'd like to be happily married, forever. I want at least one boy and one girl. Someday I hope to become a licensed architect so I can design and build my dream home. It doesn't have to be big, but something charming. And I would love for my kids to have grandfathers, but that won't happen. I grew up withouth grandfathers too.
Definately a dog!!!

Are you already training to be an architect? Sorry you didn't have your Grandfathers!! My maternal one died when I was 8yrs. and I never knew my paternal one. It does leave a void in ones life! My kids never knew my Dad, as he passed away at age 43. Mary MOB

May it all happen for you, Colleen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do you want to relocate ?
What kind of puppy do you have in mind?
I love your hopes to adopt, and write children's books, with children with disabilities in mind!!!
Keep me posted, so I can buy that book!!!!!!!!! Mary MOB

My dream right now is that someone will walk through the door and magically fill the fridge and pantry and then make dinner.

Seriously though, I want my children to grow up and say 'I had a great childhood.' That sums it up.

where do i begin...

I want happiness and success for my FH and I. I want children (asap) and I want them to know their grandparents... my dad passed when I was 19 so they wont ever meet him. it was the same for me. my dad's dad passed when my dad was a kid also so I never go to know him. I want to make sure they know my dad ... i always wished I have known more about my grandpa.

I want my mom to be happy and to feel content - she has changed since my dad passed and i think grandkids with bring a little more light into her life.

i would like for all of my siblings to live close together, to raise car loads of kids together. I want my kids to have cousins and to know the importance of family - b/c I really never had either.

I want to get into photography and floral design. I have always loved both and coming from an artistic backgroud, I think it would add that something to my life that im missing.

I want to get back in touch with old friends, from HS and college who have slipped away. It kills me that I have lost touch with so many great friends.

I want to get back into shape, to play softball again, to learn to ballroom dance with FH!!

there is a TON more but this is the short version

I'm done with training, just have to get motivated and take the test, and also pay for it. It's so hard to study when you have all these wedding things on you mind.

Karin, may you have your heart's desire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many of your desires echo mine!! And, I LOVE taking pics!!!!!!!! And I LOVE floral design; I brought a centerpiece home from my niece's Sept. wedding, and I want to redo it in silks and surprise her!! Hope I find the exact flowers I need!!
I have two left feet when it comes to dancing!! I probably look as silly as Elaine, on Seinfeld, when she did her dance. Mary MOB

To survive planning my wedding!

But on the real side....a happy healthy life filled with love and laughter!

Wow. Where do I start???



Basically, I want a great marriage, a home of my own, a wonderful family and love and friends and health. Wealth would be great too, but not necessary. We are moving to New Hampshire about a year after the wedding, so I am excited for that. Beyond those most important things, I also dream of writing a book and making some sort of career out of singing or working with animals.

---

What kind of house?
How many children?
What kind of a book?
What kind of music do you enjoy singing?
What's your favorite animal?
Moving can be fun, and exciting; I have a cousin who lives in Lincoln, NH He has something to do with Loon Mt. Ski Area. Mary MOB

---

Welll.... FH wants 6 kids, I laugh at him and say 2-3 is IT ... I don't know what kind of book, really - I have an idea for a fiction one but I think I'd be better at writing a nonfiction one (thinking about writing a wedding related one actually!). I love to sing anything but mainly country. I love dogs and wish I had gone to school to be a vet / vet tech a long time ago (have no $$ or time to do it now). I think about training dogs in the future, if I can find the patience. :) And we are looking to live near Portsmouth, in Rochester NH. Lincoln is nice but too far north for us (no work for the most part).

Lancaster? It's so pretty there. Our last 2 vacations have been in PA. Dorney and Shawnee but we all had a great time. I'm so jealous. This is a great topic!

---

We live just outside of Lancaster. It is pretty here, but in this particular area, house building has run amuck!!!!!!! There are still some areas where one can drink in the beauty of the county. There have been some areas designated as preserved, but in my opinion, not enough! It is a dilemma for me, though, because my Husband builds houses, and our livlihood depends on it. Does anyone else have issues like this? Where you strongly believe one thing, but your livlihood depends on going opposite of that belief?

Mary -- You are so sweet to think of this thread and to wish everyone the best when they responded. I just wanted to say thanks because I think it's sweet of you -- not everyone gets the best response when we tell people about our dreams ... especially if it involves moving ... and I appreciate your good wishes, as I am sure the other brides do!!!

---

Why, thank you, Jennifer!!!!!!!!!!! We all need kind words and encouragement, especially Brides, who are stressing!! Blessings to you!!!!! Mary MOB

If you plan to write a wedding one, you can get a LOT of material, on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you own a dog/s and if so, what kind? Who's your favorite country singer? Tell me why you like Portsmouth.

To have happy marriage.
To always be as happy as we are now.
That we can get a nice house with some land.
Be surrounded with our family and friends.
Hopefully 2 children. We already have names picked out.
And to have lots of animals and finally my own horse.
