Girl Meets World

It has been awhile since I have wrote anything and I promise to eventually get to Christmas and New Years but I have something else on my mind.. I am a little obsessed with Boy Meets World. I DVR it and watch it every day! haha ANYWAYS I realized something that I have needed to learn for awhile.
On one of the episodes Corey and Topanga are married and in college. Corey's parents will not help them buy a house and they are basically forced to live where they can afford. It is a dive and they have to completely remodel to make it look some what acceptable.No I am not living in a dive but we are living where we can afford to and we don't have parents that can help us with a house. The thing is if we lived anywhere else but here that would be okay we would be considered a normal young married couple. But living here made me realize I live in a society where KIDS YES KIDS are getting married, buying houses, going to college while the student loans are piling up or already have. I am for some reason expected to have a child, buy a house, graduate from college and somehow keep my sanity.
I am finally going to let everyone know I am so okay with being a 23 year old girl that is married to an amazing 23 year old guy. We aren't going to be buying a house right now... I am not going to be finished with school for another two years and we aren't planning on having children for a LONG while.
Whenever I watch Boy Meets World the college years I feel more at peace with the life that Parker and I are leading. haha I know that sounds a little weird but it is true. Yes it would be nice if our parents could cosign or if one of us was finished with school. But we aren't and that is okay.We aren't falling behind and it doesn't mean we never will have those things.But for right now we are just two young adults trying to figure out this world.
So for those of you that are trying to keep up with someone or something just remember we are on our own paths and we experience different things to grow from them. Just be happy with your life and remember that it will feel good to achieve things on your own time. Parker always tells me it will be the greatest feeling to be walking into our own home that we worked so hard for and we didn't have anyone help us. It will be so amazing when we graduate and did it by ourselves with out our parents picking up the tab. I completely agree with him. It will be great but until then I am just going to enjoy the time we have together and work hard so we can eventually accomplish those things on our own time!

    Oh my I completely agree! I see people all of the time who have kids, a huge new beautiful home, they both drive new nice cars, and they go on these amazing vacations, they always have themselves and their kids dressed in these brand new amazing clothes and oh yeah most of them are still in school! How in the world does it even happen?? Do they have a ton of debt? Do their parents pay for everything? It isn't any of my business and I won't ever know all of their situations, but I know my situation and there is no way we could afford that! One of the things I have been working on is to just be happy with what I have now and honestly it took me a while to get used to it, but now that I have life is so much more relaxed and happy and I love living in the moment. I am so happy that at least my bff is on the same page as me and doesn't think we have to fit into that mold. Yay for being poor newlyweds and being happy with what we have! ;)

    Meg, it's nice to see a young couple with so much common sense. I had been married for seven years before I had my own home. Even then, I wanted to rent but could find a place suitable for three kids. I've seen so many young couples/families default on their home loans and ruin their credit because they thought they had to have a home even though they had no real direction in their lives yet.

    Be patient and continue to live within your means. It will help you appreciate that home even more when you fine get it. HUGS

Free to dream in a marriage!

Our four year wedding anniversary is coming up and because of that our marriage has been on my mind. I know marriage can be a personal topic but I also think it can be therapeutic to talk about marriage.  Parker and I have definitely had our ups and downs but one thing that has stayed constant and that is, we are constantly growing and working each day to make our marriage better.  We have been through a lot like almost too much to handle but somehow we always come out on top. I recently had an epiphany about the past five years we have been together. We got together when we were twenty years old and according to research that is the prime age to really find who you are. So we got married and Parker was focusing on himself and I was focusing on the marriage.  The next few years I saw Parker blossom he kept receiving raises, losing weight, and just all around being confident in himself and becoming better. Well I literally lost myself I was finding the weight Parker was lo...

Jags

As I have gone back to work full time I often wonder what I miss with Jagger during those 6-10 hour days. The days used to be our special time to learn, go on adventures and just spend time with one another. Now we try to cram those special moments at night and on the weekends. It's so difficult to be away from him but I am full of gratitude that our bond has stayed intact and that he is so well taken care of by my mom and Jeff.  I feel like I need to document the small things about Jagger because eventually those will be the big things as I look back on them. I love this quote and it pretty much sums up how I feel about my babe... “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Jagger is such a social butterfly and has no fear of being himself and showing himself to the world. How I admire this and hope he will keep this confidence through out his life. He smiles and says "Hi" to everyone he comes in contact with and truly i...

Passenger Seat

Autopilot.... My life feels like it is continuing to move and I am in the passenger seat praying that I don't get hit and hoping I can just coast. It's that checked out feeling and being aware of it but not knowing if you really want to be in the driver seat because you may end up just crashing. It's difficult knowing which one is better right now and maybe it's about recognizing that whether you're the passenger or the driver if you get in an accident you get hurt regardless.      It's interesting how tricky our brain can be about giving us a false sense of hope and to be quite honest, I am surprised my brain still seeks out hope. I heard once that "hope is a discipline" and I'm not sure I have that discipline right now. It's confusing and there's a lot of uncertainty right now in this unpredictable world, fear based motives and personal turmoil as humans. It makes sense why our world is the way it is we are all unsure and living in fear i...
