January is marching on with the usual insanity. We have been juggling school and work, mostly work, and attempting to spend sometime together. As a result of said schedule I have accomplished little to no work in the form of house work or crafts. I need to finish a friend's quilt for her wedding...saturday...oops. I was hoping to have it tied and finished, make several aprons for said wedding, and organize the disaster of my stash. Last night I took a much needed break, received a pedicure (ah bliss!), and came home to my tornado stricken house and began work. Much to my surprise a neighbor stopped by to drop something off and commented on how clean the house was, little did he know that I had started with that room and if he were to venture in further the dust bunnies would attack.
On the baby front we are watching as all of our married friends are enlarging their families and being blessed by their oh so adorable children. We on the other hand will not be following suit for sometime. Hopefully sooner than later. We know we want at least four children if possible, its just the thought of giving birth that worries me...there are needles involved!!! Currently we have a short list of girls names (mainly ones I want) and an attempt at boys that we like.
David does not know this but I have been looking at houses. I know the thought of us buying one is ludicrous but It would be so nice to own our own home which we could decorate as we please and plant our roots, while building collateral towards a permanent home in the future. As it is we are lucky to meet all of our bills each month. We were doing okay this month, would be much better if we would get better at our spending habits. I need to start using our financial folder and keeping us to our budget if we are ever going to get anywhere in life. I know we need to build up our savings for a home, furniture, decorations, and mainly CHILDREN and in all honesty I am attempting to lead us in this direction. Now if we could both control ourselves maybe we could get somewhere with this plan.
Yay for children! We're watching all our friends have kids too, it's fun but kinda depressing.
