This summer has been one to remember.
From traveling to Pittsburgh, Texas, and back to Utah and the multiple car problems, and finally getting a car that we can depend on,let's just say we have had our excitement. I can't help but be thankful for the help and support from our families. Who knows where we would be without them.
Probably living in our car somewhere in New Mexico. I mean that wouldn't be all that bad, we wouldn't have rent to pay, but not sure the kitty would be okay with that. He is kind of high maintenance, but we love that crazy.
Who knew growing up would be so expensive though.
Sometimes as much as you try to be good with your money things always happen,
and you have to make sacrifices.
But right now I am thankful for being married and poor.
At times it can be oh so stressful and you are wondering how on earth you are going to make it.
But somehow things always work out. Somehow you are always able to have some extra money at the end of the month to go on a date.
It makes things fun, trying to save, budget, and put your heads together to make the things you want to do, happen. Like this dream I have of going backpacking through Europe, who knows if it will actually happen, but we still keep it in our plans to do before we have kids.
Right now it seems like a lifetime before we will be able to afford "grown up" stuff.
Like a house, holy cow they are so expensive. It stresses me out, why can't everything just be free and we can all just be beach bums and travel the world. Wouldn't that be nice.
But with the stress and all, how much fun it is going to be looking back when we are boring adults with stable jobs to joke about how we only ate top roman because real food is too expensive, and for date nights we built forts and watched Band of Brothers, or mooching off of our parents Netflix account because cable is just not going to fit in the budget?
I will definitely cherish these moments, like when we talk until wee hours of the morning about what we would do if we won the lottery, what it is going to be like to be parents to little Chads and Michelles, and what the heck the future holds for us.
Chad makes being married so easy, and he always makes things better
or at least always tries his best to.
I just really appreciate the challenges we have had and how
I am able to have my Chad next to me the whole.
