cat lady...or wife?

last night my roommate and i decorated our christmas tree. when we were done, we realized how eclectic is was. blue bulbs, texas a&m ornaments, wooden santas, cheap little things we bought in college and lots and LOTS of cat ornaments. i'd say there are about 15 cat ornaments on our tree. does that officially qualify us as cat ladies? one day, when i have children, are they going to be decorating the tree and say "mom, why do you have so many cat ornaments?" i mean, hopefully keelee and kirbi will be around to meet my babies, so it won't be so strange. cats live about 10 years i think. the way H talks, if we had kids, my kitties will grow up with them!!! (scary, i know).

speaking of reproducing, and hence, getting married, a group of my close girlfriends and i were talking about it over dinner last night. one of them said she bets i'm engaged within a year. but then she said she can't really see me getting married, let alone being engaged. like, she just can't imagine that. i don't know if i should be offended by that or not. i always thought i'd get married straight out of college just like everyone else in my family! so, to me, being engaged at 24 doesn't seem so far fetched. then, i guess married at 25. it's not like i'd be packing up my life and moving far away for a husband. i'd be here. all that would change would be my maritial status and well...ok, everything would change. the more i think about it though, the more i'm ready. is H completely changing me??? could i go from cat lady to wife in a year?
