I’ve been thinking a lot about the future this year. I’m weird and I worry and fret over every tiny detail and I have to have everything planned just so. I’m planning on going to college at MU aka Mizzou on an ROTC scholarship. I’m going to get my degree in meteorology so I can pursue a hobby of storm chasing. For some reason I don’t want to go out of state. Richard and I are getting married right out of high school along with our good friends, the soon to be Sophia (my Clinton bf) and Sean Suping. We’re going to go to each other’s weddings if not have a double wedding.  After college, I’m going to serve 8-10 years in the Marine Corps to pay off my college and earn enough money to get our dream house (which can be viewed via the internet @ http://www.ourhome.vze.com/) in the Chicago, IL area. Probably my last 2 years in the military, Richard and I plan on starting a family. I’m only having one child. Our firstborn, the one I’m having, will be named either Genesis (girl) or Richard, Jr. (boy). Our second child, if we decide we want another, will be an adopted infant of the opposite sex, Prudence or Mercedes (girl), or same as above for a boy. Of course this is all when we settle down because the military is no place to bring up a child, with the moving around all of the time, believe me I know. Roots are very important. In Chicago, I’m going to find a job helping animals or people, preferably animals, and I’m also going Marine Reserve (so I don’t have to miss out on military life to raise a family, one weekend a month, 2 weeks in the summer and I still get full benefits). All of my lovely children will attend a military academy during their high school years, of which there are many in the Chicago area. When I retire I want to become a JROTC Instructor at one of the academies. Told you I've been thinking about it alot. I just can't seem to wait for it all.
