In Virginia

We drive back home tomorrow.  The hubby and I have made many plans for the future. We know when we want to start baby making. We know we want to move to Virginia after it's born. I will move out first with the baby and live with the hubby's family until we can sell our house. My family isn't happy about it. Oh well. We are happy.

I turn 25 today!

It's my quarter life crisis. Luckily, I've achieved some wonderful things in my first quarter. Here's a list of the big goals achieved in order of achievement:

  1. Traveled to Cancun, Mexico
  2. Bought my first new car (2007 Toyota Prius)
  3. Graduated from college (Business Management degree)
  4. Bought my first home
  5. Married the love of my life

Here's a list of things I'd like to accomplish in my next quarter - not in order:

  • Start a family
  • Sell my starter home
  • Buy a better home
  • Move out of state
  • Change careers
  • Possibly go back to college
  • Travel to Europe
  • Go on a cruise

So yeah, my life is following my personal expectations. There were no unplanned pregnancies or anything like that to screw things up. I was almost married before, which would have immediately resulted in a divorce within the first quarter. I'd like to prevent divorce from ever landing in my life. I would also like to make sure death doesn't affect the future family I want to have.

Can't Sleep At Night

Insomnia smileyImage via Wikipedia
My husband works, and I am unemployed. He gets up early; I sleep in.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, and we don't need to wake up early. For some reason, he had us all "go to bed" at 9:30pm tonight.

I'm not remotely tired. So, I just sit up in bed all night playing with my new Droid. I don't like insomnia.

I'm a Married Lady Now

It's been awhile since I last updated. I'd really like to blame Google accounts. I didn't want my personal email address used for this blog, so I created one specifically for it. When I'm logged into gmail with my personal account, I can't write any posts. Once I go to blogger.com, it doesn't recognize me. I just wish I could associate multiple email accounts with my login here. That would make things much easier.

ANYWAY

I've been asked by several friends and family if married life feels different. Usually, my answer is, "no." I haven't received a certified copy of my marriage license yet, so I have not been able to change my last name. It's weird still signing receipts and such with the maiden name. I also lived with my husband for several years now. I'm sure traditionally, women would move in after their wedding day. That just doesn't really happen now. So, the house is the same; the routines are the same.

I find it strange referring to my man as my husband. That's a new term. We think it's cute to call each other wife and husband in private. That part is new.

So yeah. That answers that. I wanted to also address the baby issues. I'm a pretty practical lady, and I've always set out to have a plan in life. I know, for me, that baby making starts after marriage. My husband and I are in no way financially ready to start a family, but being married almost makes me feel like we're legally able to make babies! When out shopping, I like to visit the baby departments to look at safety car seats and clothing. It's just a new world that's so interesting to me nowadays.

I'm unemployed, and my husband is looking to start a career rather than just have a job. I'd love to be a stay-at-home mom, but we couldn't do that until my husband earned enough on his own. So yeah, my clock is ticking, but I'm just hitting the snooze button.

That's all for now!
