I guess I'm not cool anymore.

Even before we got married, our friends were all "Are you sure?! The same person year after year after year?! You'll be all married and stuff!" It annoyed me then and it annoys me now. It also annoys me that we found out the true maturity level of our "adult" friends when we told them. No, marriage isn't something only 30 year olds do, children, ( Read more... )

marriage, party, chris

The only thing that's different with us so far is that when we have sex, it's marital sex...and his mom is craving grandbabies (yes, craving) like a zombie craves brains.

Be sure you're not having kids for someone else, though, cause kids are a BIG deal. The rest of your life will be different and a little harder so be sure you're ready!

Oh it totally wouldn't be for anyone but us. Well, obviously it would also be for the (dedication to) the potential kid. We want one but also we want to make sure that I'm healthy enough for it and he's probably going to get promoted and he'll make even more money. I'm totally excited for this, but we're not trying yet. That's why I haven't really posted about it in my journal.

Also, I think it's creepy that the internet knows what kind of ads to put up. There's one for the gerber life grow up plan right beside this little text box. How does it know? The internet is lurking....

From my own hazy beliefs about relationships & companionship and as someone who is very unmarried and legally not quite allowed to be yet, there's the urge to slap some gratitude into people when I hear talk about marriage like its this gross alien and/or dinosaur ritual. Then again, nervous or sarcastic joking is a first line of defense for me as well when it comes to certain things I'm insecure about, so if they can't see themselves committing to someone yet then let 'em be goofy while it lasts. Still the slapping thing is an option ( ... )

Hey! I didn't know anybody else ever read this thing. I just write here instead of a journal because I can type faster than I can write. :P

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. :) We're working it out but I think it will take more adjustment than the both of us thought it would. We are still the same people whether we're apart or together, which I love, but as a married couple, we've got some growing to do still. It's encouraging that we know it and still have somewhere to go, too. I wish you luck in working out a long-term relationship because it's worth it. Knowing someone the way we do and feeling comfortable making plans for the future knowing who you'll be there with is a beautiful thing. Feel free to vent whenever! :)
