When You're Expecting Something Else (25 page)

We talk about getting married, we both want to, but we also want to give our relationship the full four seasons of the year to really get to know each other. So far, we’re having a lot of fun just being together. It doesn’t seem to matter what we do.

Yes, my biological clock still ticks, but not so demandingly loud. Stan and I both want children when the time is right. I really have plenty of time. If I miss the clock because of some reason or other, we can always adopt or try something creative through a fertility clinic. Or, if it should turn out that children don’t bless my life for some reason or other, I’ll be okay with it, though sad. I’m not ready to give up my dream, but at least now I know the difference between dreams and reality. Life always seems to happen when you’re expecting something else.

Isn’t that the truth!
