Weddings, Houses and Babies Oh My!

First comes love then comes marriage and then comes the baby carriage. That's how it usually goes right? 2011 seems to be there year. I've been to baby showers, engagements, weddings and house warmings. I cannot be happier for my family, friends and co-workers. I mean that's what life is about, growing up getting married and starting a family in a new home. For many that's their dream. Good for them. I'm Happy for them from the bottom of my heart.

When you've reach a certain age or been in a relationship for a certain period of time people start to push their expectations on you. I have lost count of the "When are you getting married" or "You guys should buy a condo" You never hear "Let me pay for your wedding" or "Here's a condo, on me" Ha! the odds of hearing that are slimmer than me winning lotto 649 Jackpot. Then once you have the marriage and the home, they'll will be pressuring you to have a child. It never ends.

The funniest thing to me is it's not even my parents saying this stuff. Sometimes its people I hardly even know or speak to. Do what works for you and I'll do what works for me.

I was never the little girl dreaming of her dream wedding, her prince charming and having a bunch of ankle biters. As I grew up and now that I'm getting older I am just now entertaining the idea. I am lucky enough to have found awesome lover, friend and soul-mate. As a matter of fact I have no doubt in my mind that he will be my future husband, future father of my child(yes I've agree to ONE). However this will happen in due time when WE are good and ready. In the mean time you do you and I'll do me.
