Well, I know I want kids someday...certainly not now. lol I'm only 18. I can't financially provide for a family now by any means.

But I guess my ideal family is the woman I can truly call my soulmate...definitely kids, maybe one boy and one girl (though I'd be happy with either, but that odd overactive paternal part of me is rooting for little girl ). My family will want for nothing, ever. I will be there for my children, something my own father never was (or rarely, at any rate). I want my family to be as happy as I can possibly make them...a wife who's proud to call me her husband (and vice versa, of course ) and kids who'll be proud of me as their father (lol I want my son to be able to say "My dad can beat up your dad!" and mean it! ). I want to be able to do things for my family...vacations, random little fun things, stuff like that. I want to have enough financial security in whatever I end up doing (right now looking to be an attorney) that my family is comfortable, secure, and happy.

lol That's my little maxim, I suppose. My perfect portrait of my future. I've got college and a Juris Doctor to take care of before I start trying to paint it though, so no rush.

By the way, I hope things go well in court Ds. Mommy. I'll say a prayer for you.
