Why is it that when you start focusing your life around creating a new life, it seems like everyone around you has a new baby. Recently I have noticed in the stores, restaurants, and even at work there are new babies everywhere. Was everyone really bored in May last year? Last night we went over to visit friends from work that just had a baby girl, and she was of course cute as a button (which now that I think about it, I don't find buttons that cute, but I digress). Seeing J hold that new baby in her arms gave me a quick glimpse into (fingers crossed) our future, and it was wonderful!
Both J and I have been spontaneous people and worry about the consequences later, which has worked for us. But now we are entering this new phase in our lives where it is time to be "grown ups" and really plan for the future. We have made a household budget, started focusing our clearing up some debt, and really thinking about our daily decisions. It is actually amazing how proud I feel when we sit down and look at our options and ask ourselves: "Do we need that", or "We could get this cheaper at a different store". I feel that this a great lesson for us first off and more importantly this is a great lesson for our future children. Isn't funny the mind set you get yourself into when thinking about children, I am constantly asking myself "what do I want to make sure my kids learn to be a good person?"
