Everything I wanted- I got it

When I was 18 I was in my 1st year at the University. I was fresh out of collage and on to my Bachelor of Commerce.
At that time my aim was simply to finish my degree before I was 21 years old. Find a guy in the university settle down, get married and have some kids. I planned to have a couple of kids and to birth them before I reached 30 years old so that I would have enough time and energy to spend time with them during their childhood years.
Simplistic ideas which I was working hard to achieve.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce at 20, Got engaged at 21 and married before I turned 22 years old. Had my #1 at 25yrs old, #2 and 29 yrs old and #3 at 32 yrs old. Well.. slightly off the 30yrs old marker which I set for myself but hey.. at least before I’m being classified under the high risk pregnancy category for older mothers.
I’m blessed that everything that I wanted- I got it!!

Congrats on getting what your heart desired! I can’t say I had anything even resembling a plan when I graduated, other than to go to college. Well done.

It looks like you were pretty much on track to reach your goals :o) Your three little ones are cute :o) Two little boys and a little girl? We have two girls and our “baby” is our boy.
Blessings & Aloha!

How neat! I love a girl with a plan! Especially when the plan works out!
Maybe that’s what I did wrong with my life…sigh…
Thanks for an excellent post! I’m happy that things all worked out exceptionally well for you!
