How do you see your future with Roman? 2years from now? 5? 10?

First and foremost, I want to make him proud these next few weeks and months during awards season. I think it’s only human to want to do well in the eyes of those whose opinion you hold most-valued. But more precious to me than winning anything, is being able to share this experience with him, the Globes and the SAGs. I plan on taking some time off the next year; and after that I am not sure what will happen, if I will ever be granted these chances again in my career, so it makes this time extra special and important to me that I get to spend it now with him now for the first time. I want to see his face throughout it all, watch him as he takes it all in. It will bring me the most joy to see this. 

In the next two years, I really hope we are married by then. We both have made it clear to each other that we are eager to make it happen relatively soon-ish. I know what we want our wedding to look and feel like, but then you get into the little details and it gets super overwhelming. Our wedding should be about expressing us and celebrating our love, and that’s what we are keeping at the forefront when planning it. So yeah it really does require good time and planning that I can only dedicate to it by slowing down on the movies, just temporarily  though. Marriage has such a deeper meaning to me now more than ever before, and I can’t wait to get to do it with my favorite person. You can ask someone a million questions on themselves, but you don’t actually know them till you see how they respond and behave in certain circumstances. I have faith now more than I know who Roman Josi is as a human being cause I have seen him stressed, angry, depressed, happy, and really happy. I am so grateful for how the journey unfolded that took us here. 

I see us with at least one little one in two years. Roman is just that kind of man you know he will be the most natural father. Yes, I tease the heck out of him for being horrible with kids, truth is he’s really amazing with them. Not just the kind of amazing that is ‘Oh he is cute with kids’, but the kind of man that you know is compassionate yet strong, fair, responsible, patient, well-humored and playful. Those qualities he possesses have always told me that of course he’s going to make the most wonderful dad.

It’s my guilty wish but by two years time I wish we would have spent one Christmas in Switzerland. Give me just one please. I know it’s a lot to ask with his NHL schedule, but what I have been reading and watching of Switzerland at Christmas-time it promises to be one of the most authentic and special of experiences. Be even greater if we had a little one to take back and show their father’s homeland too. But anytime of year we get to go back I will cherish, and I imagine we will go back a few times in the next few years. I love to see who he is in Switzerland, so carefree and without a worry, it’s always a fun time when we get to go.  

As for our schedules and careers, with me not being as busy with as many films that means I will have more time at home. I won’t exactly be a typical stay at home wife, but I also think I could be really baller being the Captain of that ship, so to speak. Make sure he’s up and got his breakfast before off to practice. Taking care of the animals, and possible kids, during the day. Then on roadies I know I can hold it all down already. The importance is I want the chance in the next two years to try that out, see who I am as that, what it be like for me with making only the occasional movie.

In 5 years I really, really hope were are still in Nashville, but I know that’s least up to me and more up to NHL gods. I love Nashville so deeply and I hope by that time I will be really involved in the community as he has been. He’s such an example of volunteering and charity I want to help out with Best Buddies, the Preds Foundation and anything they will let me get my hands in more. Be really a face for these causes he already loves. What great bonding will we have then,

Truth is if we find ourselves anywhere we can make a home out of it. I go where he goes; basically. Anywhere he goes he’s going to be the motherfreaking Captain, he just has that presence of leadership that gets the job done. I am so proud of him, he is such a hardworker, he is going to have the Stanley cup in five years time I know it. I will still be making movies, hopefully would have produced one by then, maybe even directed one.

 We will definitely have little ones in five years time. Hopefully a whole little brood of loud little swiss-irish ones, where they play hockey inside the house and take horseback riding lessons. They also have to have one musical instrument to learn, that’s the rule in the Ronan lineage. I can see us having /really/ active kids. Obviously if that happens I won’t be able to film as much, but I see them coming with me when I do, I couldn’t be away from the kids for long. In that case, I might pick movies that film in his off season so he can be there as well and we can maintain our family life.  

Five years from now, I see us having something like our own little farm with all kinds of domesticated and farmyard animals around. I see us renting snowy cabins for Christmas and renting houses on the beach for summer. We love to vacation and take trips, but we are also the most laid back vacationers you will ever meet. Please don’t hand us a schedule during that time, we will get up when we damn well please.

10 years from now I selfishly wish he’s about to retire so he can stay home more, like every day more. Fish had kind of the same time table so I hope it’s not too farfetched for him, but I know you never tell a man when he should retire. Hopefully there are kids not school aged just yet, so he could get to experience some of the joys of being more like a stay at home dad.  

If he does retire it would free us up to take more extended vacations and go as we please more. We could say, go on amazing vacations for Christmas. That would be very exciting. Also something really big and important to me that I will tell him about some day. I want a piece of Ireland that is ours. Maybe a house, if Margot has her way we will all be in on a pub together, and if he retires in that time of ten or so years it be more of a option for him to spend more time over there. It’s always, in no matter how many years, been my dream to really show him the best of Ireland and my homeland, and there is no better way then deeply immersing him in it for extended time. That and I want to convince him he looks good in a Irish newsboy hat. 

I told him a couple times since we have gotten more serious that I saw us both together on those rocking chairs side by side, starting to grey. Its the most clear image of our future I had before we even said ‘I love you’. At times I don’t want anything to change between who we are and how we relate as a couple but marriage I know will only make us stronger, this bond we had from the moment we laid eyes on each other is going to just keep growing. And that makes me very excited for the future.
