little ones

Yesterday Nathan and I were cuddling on the couch and he said, "you know, the most disappointing thing about me not starting pharmacy school this fall is that we have to wait another year to have kids".

I've thought this a lot, but I hadn't wanted to say it out loud.  To say it, made it true. 

I guess I should at least be happy that he is just as eager and excited about kids as I am.  I know of a lot of couples that disagree on this issue.  And that is a HUGE issue to disagree on.  I mean- disagreeing about The Smashing Pumpkins (gross) and the Dave Matthews Band (good) is one thing - we've just agreed to never listen to either when we're with each other, but kids is entirely different.  :oP  (is it sad that that's our biggest disagreement?  or maybe that's good)

I love when Nathan puts his hand or head on my stomach and looks at me and softly says, "there's going to be a baby in here".
I see him with his nephews, I see him with my nieces and nephew, and I can tell he's going to be a great daddy.

We'll probably have to wait until I'm 28 or 29 (and he's 30 or 31)
And seeing as I'm only 23 right now... that seems too far away.

But, we'll be together forever, and eventually God will bless us with little ones, and I find great comfort in that.
