blah life?

For the most part I am generally happy with my life. I love my boyfriend and even though my job is extremely challenging, for the most part I like it and if I stick with it I may be working a public school someday and get summers off. That would be totally cool. I earn paid holidays and vacations and am getting health benefits even though I don't know how to use them yet. I have a nice truck and have wonderful parents who are helping me pay back my student loans.
Every once in a while I get really frustrated. I mean, some of my friends who have been single longer than me are now engaged. I am in this committed relationship where we talk about the future, a house and a kid or two... but no ring yet. I just wonder how long I'm going to be single but yet not. I know a ring just doesn't appear out of nowhere; it costs money and after that it's more money for a wedding and honeymoon. There's just a part of being single that I've given up that I didn't really think I would have to.
I have been trying to get back to Florida for a visit since I came in May of 2006. Haven't made it there yet. Now my boyfriend is planning this trip for us to visit his family in Iowa next year which is totally fine but I was trying to get to Florida next year. I don't really see getting to do both with asking for time off. That would be a week for each trip so two weeks out of the year. So basically I would be giving up my visit to Florida.
I really miss working in the environment I was in at Disney World. It really was a dream of mine to work at a Disney park. I love the friends I made there and worked with every day. The pay sucked and there were times when we were really overworked and the guests were terrible but I still had a blast. On my days off I could wander around any park I wanted for free; catch a parade or just go on a couple rides. Every day I could watch little kids' dreams come true. If I was single I would probably be moving to Florida. Of course I also have this grown up job now where I can't just ask for a few days off and expect to get them approved. I really don't know right now if I asked for a vacation if I would get it approved at this job.
I guess I'm just complaining but it's hard! If I was single or at a different job I wouldn't have to worry about getting permission to go the UK with Becky like we wanted to or go back to visit Orlando with Becky and Rachael. Of course if I was single I would be complaining about how lonely I am or whatever so I guess no matter what there is something to complain about. I just hope we get to a point in this relationship where we can live out some of our personal dreams while still being together. Really I would be happy in a permanent place that really is quite nice as long as I could save up enough money to travel and see my buddies and parents on occasion. It will be even harder when we have a kid so I don't know how that will work in. I guess it will just happen as it happens and we learn to be happy with what we have. I can't help feeling I'm giving up on a lot of dreams or missing out on something in order to be lucky enough to have the life I have right now. So I guess I'll light one up and watch Old School and try not to think too much about it!
