Yes, I believe my life is going around in a big, squiggly circle

That counts as having direction, right?
My husband and I've got the next few years mapped out pretty well, though. I'm graduating high-school, taking a year off for the baby, and then going for my psychology degree at our community college. After that, I hope to be hired by our local mental health clinic. They've been short on staff since they opened, so I'm sure there will still be at least one position for me there by the time I get out of college.
At the same time, he's re-opening his family's woodworking business, starting a commercial watermelon garden, and plans on joining the town council sometime next year. In 5 years or so, we should both be fairly well off if everything goes according to plan.
