Preface: I'm 27

1. I live in South Texas

2. Been with my girlfriend for almost 4 years

3. My younger sister isn't seeing anyone, and it doesn't look like she will be anytime soon

4. I want to get my PhD before I plant the seed

5. My girlfriend wants another degree or two as well before she cuts off that glorious birth control (which she meticulously takes every night, she rocks, major props)

6. My parents are Southern Baptist, and have probably figured out I'm having mad sex out of wedlock, in addition to a(n unreasonable?) yearning for grandchildren.

7. Almost every familial get together, I face a barrage of "guess which one of your cousins is engaged and/or pregnant!"

8. I live in South Texas

Also, I live in South Texas.
