Is it bad to live for the future rather than the present?

I'm a coach for the Sheboygan South JV Dance Team. This past weekend, we hosted a Kids Clinic, where little girls come and learn dance moves and perform at halftime of a football game. As I watched the children, I couldn't help thinking of how my children are going to act, look like, and be like. Although I am only 18, I find myself wondering about the future all the time. I am told that I should stop worrying about the future and worry about the here and now. Well for me, that's so hard because the "here and now" is so boring and pointless.

Similar to many girls my age, I want to know who I am going to marry. I want to know exactly what he will look like, how he will propose, and what dress I'll walk down the aisle in. I have spent many years of my life planning out my "dream wedding" and call me crazy, but I cannot wait for all of my plans to come true. I guess I am kind of putting the cart before the horse because I am only in my first year of college, but hey a girl can wish, right?!

Back to my previous thought, seeing the girls at the dance clinic made me extremely excited to have children of my own someday. Of course, I am no where near ready for kids now, but I can't help but think about how they'll look and act, what they'll be interested in, and who they'll become. 

All of this stuff is exciting to think about, but then somehow I get snapped back in to reality. I have to remember I'm only a freshman in college (ugh) and  I have a verrrry long way to go before I have kids, let alone get married. It just seems like there is so much to look forward to and it is coming at such a slow pace. I guess patience is key. Although many people may tell me that I'm overlooking the present and jumping the gun while looking towards the future, I feel as if it is a good thing, getting me prepared for what's ahead in my life- (just a side note: I do have pretty high hopes for my future husband/the proposal so whoever he may be, it better be worth the wait!)
