I guess when you boil down to it, I just want to have the experiences I've seen so many other women my age have....getting married being the most desired one. I want a guy to go down on one knee, propose to me, and slip that ring on my finger....I want to be able to be able to say I'm engaged.....and pick out a wedding dress, and plan a wedding, be both excited and nervous and....and....walk down that isle with my dad. My dad's 62 now....and while he's still very much active, I don't know for how much longer he'll be active. I dunno....maybe my dreams to experience those things are just that....silly dreams....

As for the down syndrome thing.....I don't know if that's true or not, because my aunt had her firstborn when she was in her early 30's and he has down syndrome. I always thought it was just a fluke of genetics and no environmental or biological factors were the cause.
