My guess is...you are working to make your life unfold. You are wondering if you will ever relax again...you are wondering if time will ever belong to just you....
All the things you are creating now will come back to you in different form...instead of working to create the lives of your children...you will increasingly find that you are watching their lives develope, and you will stand as a keenly interested observer as you see if ...oh what term shall I use?...YOU DID OK...!
What you have to look forward to....is the evidence of your love...
God bless you....enjoy!

I think you should set your own personal goals. What are things you wanted to do before you got married that you were never able to do? Star in a play or independent film? Play the guitar? Lose weight? Taking classes is also a good way to explore other talents you might have. Volunteer work can also be very fulfilling. Besides that you can look forward to your children growing up and going to college and your future with your spouse. Life is what you make it! :0)

Watching your kids grow
Getting on in your job
Getting a bigger / better house / car
Taking more adventurous holidays
Learning new skills / taking up new hobbies
grandchildren
building a close and happy, well adjusted family
Finding beauty in the smallest things
Buying your wife flowers for absolutely no reason at all
Take the time to enjoy it all at every stage, things change, the kids will grow up and I hope it will keep getting better and better.

You have the joy of watching your children grow. They will become young people, teenagers, adults. There are joys and tears, broken hearts, crushes, driving lessons, proms, graduations, marriages coming to your children and you will be there to guide them.
There is the "settling" in with your husband, growing older together. There will be vacations and trips, long weekends and craziness of holidays. There will be arguments that you work through together and that bring you closer. There continues to grow a deeping trust and friendship between you.
There will be trials and tribualtions, celebrations, tears, laughter. acheivements, lessons to be learned.
You are so blessed. I know it can seem like "whats next??" but you have it all. Children, a man who loves you, a job you love. Embrace it! Sit back and enjoy the ride...

How about living the rest of your life enjoying those kids, your husband and the house ??? You talk about what you've got as though they are trophies on a shelf. I would try being less materialistic and matter of fact and appreciate watching your kids mature, blossom, leave the nest and go on to give you grandchildren - the cycle of life xx

Look forward to all of the milestones that come from having children. First words, First steps, First teeth... There's so much that happens in life, especially when you have children.
As far as marriage... Keep your eyes open and hope that the only thing you have to look forward to is love.

Well once your children get older you will want to go do more things, things that you never got to do or things you havnt done in a while because you were raising your children. Look forward to them growing up and there daily activities. Look forward to meeting new people.

I think its a time to enjoy each other again. Do things together that you couldn't do when you first got married and didn't have "things". You aren't restricted now with kids, so you are free to get out and travel. Find a hobby you two both like. Meet other couples that have the same hobbies.

Life, my dear. You have found happiness and are living it. Your children are well and happy too. You have opportunities within your reach for self-improvement and to realise your personal ambitions. Your children will do well at school and in a few years there will be anniversary parties, coming of age parties, engagements, weddings, grandchildren, holidays of a lifetime. There'll be sad times too, but you and your family will have the strength to face them and come through.
