Life in its current state

My Life.

I am in a really happy place right now. There are a few goals or ambitions that I have sought after, or I guess always wanted in my life. Even since I was somewhere around middle-high school age I wanted the family life. I always knew that the ultimate goal for me, would be to find and marry someone whom I thought I could spend the rest of eternity with. Emily is that person. We are about as perfect for each other as any 2 people in the world could possibly be. After finding a wife, I wanted to have a family, and its finally happening for me. After 4 great years since we were married, Emily and I are having our first baby in April. Himaya (undecided-middle-name) Hunsaker. Although I try not to freak out (and do a pretty good job at it) there are times where I wonder "what are we thinking?" Even though we really have no clue about parenting, we know it will work out for the best... I am sure we will not do any permanent psychological damage before we get a hang of things and get comfortable with the idea of being parents.

Aside from accomplishing my family-life goal, I have also always wanted to get into an interesting, and driven field. Almost nobody ever finishes college and works in the profession they thought they wanted when they were in High school. In fact 50% of college freshmen who declare their major, will change their mind and study something else...thats just the freshmen though. I am one of the few who has gone into the field they wanted to when they were 16. Thought there are changes that could be made to the curriculum (and staff), I am happy as a whole about the education I am receiving. With only 1 year left, I can't imagine life without school, teachers, studying and tests; but I am enthralled by the prospects of finding a permanent job. Thats something I have never done before in my life. I have always known that there would be a maximum amount of time I would give to any one employer, because it was always a means to an end. In a few years, after I am certified and after I have worked in the field long enough to be taken seriously, I want to open my own practice. I want to see patients and help them get around the obstacles that have been put before them. Finally... there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

So my life is reaching a high-point in my opinion... could things be better?
