Future

Mar 14, 2006 13:49

I was just laughing about my future.  Isaac will hopefully have a very good law career and possibly get into politics.  We hope to buy land 50 acres minimum that we can build a few large houses and possibly a small Orthodox chapel on.  We need a few houses because I forsee my parents and sibling or siblings ending up living with us.  This is just do to my mom's income future.  She owns her own business, an Aveda concept salon, but she doesn't have any insurance, retirement, etc.  So she will need some place to live along with my baby sister, Chloee, who is 3.  Bessie may be alright.  She is in college majoring in elementary education.  So if she ends up living with us, she could help me homeschool my/our babies.  My dad is a boilermaker and does well (when he works).  He is 50, but may not be able to do this hard work too many more years.  He does have a decently ok retirement for WV, but he talks to me about how its not guaranteed.  I don't know what he's talking about, but I understand it won't be much to buy a house, etc.  So he will need a place to live.  Isaac doesn't want his parents to go to retirement homes so they will most likely end up with us when they are old and ill.  We'll probably just have in home nurses or something to help take care of them depending on their health level.  But I got to thinking how funny it is/will be for such a sucessful lawyer to have a wife who only eats flour/bran etc that she grinds herself and what not.  It really doesn't fit with the modern "American dream," but it really is my dream to have an estate that my entire family will live on.  My dad can help me garden and take care of the orchards and vineyard.  My mom will be the live in hair stylist/make up artist.  yeah... this could be really fun.  Why don't more people live with their extended families anymore?  I can see how awesome it could be to have everyone around to help... Isaac will be the only "normal" one.
