To go for a Masters Or to wait?

I have been in school now for three years, and finally graduate with a Bachelors in May.  While I am excited to be done, I am wondering if I should proceed immediately into my Masters or wait a year or two.  The problem with waiting is if I wait to long will I ever actually go for my masters, or will the opportunity pass me by?  I wish I could talk to Nathan about this, but the reason I can not is because we don't even know where we are going. This is a giant source of frustration for me because I want to know where we are going, I am inherently a planner and want to make plans but how do you make plans for a future you don't know will exist.  Like if I were to plan without considering him, and then he really makes the decision...ie proposing, to be in my life forever, then what, do I have to rework my life to suit his or does he have to rework his to suit mine?  If he reworks his will he resent me or will everything sort of work out in the end. The issue with the Masters is even if I wait I don't want to wait forever, only a year or two tops, because if I wait any longer than that, there will be children to consider and marriage, and a home, and everything else that life may throw at me, and I don't know that I can handle that and a Masters, but then will he be able to handle the fact that he would be the sole supporter of our family while I pursue this degree.  I guess I just wish I knew what the future had in store for me.
