What is that the sound of? Time ticking away. I think it is true what they say about having a biological clock ticking. I feel like everyone is constantly pushing to the next big thing in life. Ok, you are married, when are you having kids, when are you buying a house, when are you having baby number two. There is always something more people want you to be doing. I know it sounds silly to be pressured into something so huge as having kids or buying a home, but the pressure is on.
I love all my friends and their kids to death; they are all adorable, but dang people, you're really putting the pressure on. I feel like Andrew and I are behind in the race of life. Now that we have been married for a year, the questions are really picking up about when we are going to have kids. We will have kids when we are ready, and we aren't ready. We are trying to enjoy being married. We have gone through a few trials in the first year of our marriage, and I feel like each thing we overcome makes us a stronger couple, which will only make us better parents. We bought a house, which brings with it different financial worries. We have now adopted two dogs, one of which we are still housebreaking. Housetraining a dog has brought out some frustrations and stress. Housetraining Maya has been all about keeping a schedule. With weddings and working different schedules, keeping things the same for Maya has been a little rough.
Sometimes I think we just can't go too long without having something new and "exciting" in life. We are going to take it easy for a while now. Our family is complete for now. Our puppies are our kids, and we love them to death. I think we are also going to tone it down on the house projects for now. We have a few smaller things we want to do, but we will be back at it this spring out in the yard. We have our battle plan for the spring, now let's hope we have the funds to attack our master plan.
