Well... You've just left me speechless.

I will be, if God calls me to. If not, He has other perfect plans for me. I just wish I knew how to listen for them.

Well, your answer shows an open heart which is the most important step in discerning God's will. My advice (as someone who's been there done that with religious life and marriage) is take time to pray, be silent with God, turn off the music, TV and phone and ask God what He wants from you. The world has so many distractions that pull us farther from God. If you know of a priest or sister who is truly living the Christian life and has embraced their vocation talk to them. Ask them about their journey. I'm happy to answer your questions too:) I recommend a retreat. That's how I heard God anytime I had to make a big decision. You're in my prayers.
