There are times I sit here, listening usually to pearl jam, or Use your Illusion 1&2 from guns and roses... and I remember happy simple times with my family

Here's my advice. If you ever *stop* questioning your future? If you ever *stop* asking what's in store for you, or what can you look forward to. That's when you should start worrying.
Look to your future with a smile on your face, not trepidation. Like you said, you have a beauitiful blue-eyed woman to share it with you. How awesome is that? You're looking forward to home ownership--no more giving your money to a landlord. All the money that you're giving to the bank is equity. Your own property. To raise that baby or babies you talked about. ANd that, my dear dear friend, is the best thing of all. IT's all scary, you're right, but don't be afraid of it. Embrace it, because it's fragile and rare and once it's gone, it's gone. Just like those old days with your parents. Now it's your turn to make the old days for your own family :)
*kisses* the nice thing about times like that is you know what worked. when you know what works, you can make it that much better for those we will leave behind.

The society we live in is signifigantly different than the one your parents grew up in - One that demanded conformity, where the Different were the scattered few who huddled, broke and lonely in miserable little flats and scribbled their fancies thick into bound books.
Nowadays we all get together and spray our fantasies on the digital walls, usually in dayglow paint. :)
I think the real trick is to hold two different ideas in your mind at once: That life is a surprise(You never know what happens next), but that it's a certainty at the same time (We all know how it ends.) The first will keep you exploring, the second will hopefully convince you to not dwadle.
Time moves faster when you get older (I can't BELIEVE I spent over ten years in South Bend!), but you don't have to slow down if you don't want to.
Don't work too much. Life is more than money.
And remember: Every man and every woman is a star.
