They say…
As found in this article on MSN… Everything that I have done in the last (little over a) year was wrong to do in the span of time I did it and will apparently lead to divorce or forever-debt.
While graduating from College and finishing up an Honor’s Thesis, I planned my wedding. My Husband-to-be also wrote an Honor’s Thesis, then we both graduated. A month later, we got married, went on our honeymoon, closed on a house, and moved 4-6 hours away from our families to a city I had only visited once before so that he could enter a 5 year PhD program. We moved in to a beat up old house that (of COURSE) had a lot of problems we hadn’t anticipated, with one car - stick shift - that I can’t drive, and no human support system. Kyle started school - I stayed home… for months… looking for a job (No internet, No cable, No phone). To speed through this saga — I got a temp job, and then a permanent position, Kyle decided to leave the PhD program. Now I was working and he was home looking for a job. He got a job a heartbeat after the ‘Nick of Time’ would have occurred and we had to temporarily borrow money to make ends meet. At this point, we’ve recovered and we’re on our way to saving and paying off his student loans.
But it probably wouldn’t be fair to gloss over the 7 gas leaks, the broken refridgerator, the screw in Kyle’s leg, the bird in our ceiling, the demolition and reconstruction of our bathroom by us, and the despair that accompanied the loss of a good friend (one of Kyle’s roommate’s in College) on a cool April day while he was attending a Civil Engineering Grad School class at Virginia Tech.
I’ll probably address all these little topics in future entries. But truly, I think the main point is that the only thing missing in our lives is me being pregnant. In an ‘Ironic’, ‘I-feel-on-the-edge-with-my-eyes-rolling-back-to-show-too-much-white’ sort of way, it would just be ‘Perfect’ to find out something will be ‘Comin round the mountain’ in the next 9 months.
Heavenly Father, please do not take this as a Dare.
