When I think of the future family-wise, it might not be the way most people do.
As far a spouse is concerned, I see someone I can love/laugh/cry/play/share/dream/LIVE/worship/learn/work/trust/nurture/grow with, and maybe even butt heads from time to time.
As much as I love children, I'm not sure how I feel about more at this point in my life. God knows me, so I'm going to leave that up to Him.

He's blessed me with a godly son who has entered college and will be on his own too soon for me, so I can't complain if I have no more.
I don't really think in terms of houses or cars, or the sizes of either. I have a 3 bedroom/2 bath home on 2 acres in the country right now, a truck, a car, a riding mower, a son, 3 dogs and a tank of fish. Downsizing is beginning to sound pretty good sometimes.

The more you have, the more of your time is needed to care for it. Though I will say that I've always wanted to live by a a large body of water somewhere.
As far as exploring the world, there's still so much of it I would like to see, but it's not something I would want to do fulltime. Friends and family are important to me since I've already lost so many of them. Balance would be important.
I am totally looking forward to having grandchildren someday and spoiling them rotten, especially if I don't have any more children of my own.
I can't imagine not having pets, especially dogs, though I don't need as many as I have now. l simply wasn't able to find homes for two of them and now they own my heart.
