Planned to marry a pilot

As I wrote in the previous post, I was visiting my family this week.

When I, at my Mom's place, was looking through some stuff, I found a book about myself, that I made when I was 12.

The last page had the heading "My future". As a twelve years old, I obviously had it all planned.

"When I'm 35 I will be the mother of two children, one boy and one girl. My husband will be a few years older than me and he will be working as a pilot. I will be working as a journalist on TV. But before that I will have worked as a tour guide. I will be travelling a lot".

Well, I did get the tour guide part correct. And I do love travelling.

Will probably never end up on TV, as I now have other dreams in life. But I do enjoy writing, and my husband has forced me to work on a few TV/film productions of his, so maybe I was sort of close in my predictions after all.

Seems like I'm going strong for the two kids plan also. But I'm hoping to be able to have more than two, so with a bit of luck I can prove myself wrong there.

Instead of a pilot a few years older than me I married a struggling artist MORE than a few years older than me. Thank God for breaking a bit of that plan I had set up for myself.
