QOTD 1/29

This might be weird, but I can't be the only one that this happens too...

Anyway, yesterday for some reason, I just took a moment to think about my life.  I had an overwhelming sense that I was dreaming.  I think that it is because I never thought that I would be where I am now.  I have a great job and just got a promotion.  I have an amazing husband that I sometimes can't believe is mine.  And we have goals that we are working towards together.  I guess sometimes I never thought that I would be in this place in my life.  Coming from a dead end job and a dead end marriage, this is like a dream come true.  (Sappy I know).

So my question today is:  Do you ever stop and think about your life?

I think almost every day I stop and think about my life. I'm beyond lucky to be married to the love of my life, settling into our own home together, and trying to start a family. But, career-wise, neither myself or my husband are where we would like to be or want to be. So, we try to stick to the positive side, cause at least we HAVE jobs.

Actually I have been a lot lately because my birthday is on the 4th.  I always seem to reflect on where I am at that age.  Like this year I'll be thinking:  I have a great husband, beautiful house, a great family both mine and my in-laws, not bad for 26.  I try really hard on each birthday to celebrate the good in my life and not think about the things I'm not enjoying such as my job or the fact that there is a grown man living in my basement that really needs to move out.

I do this a few times a week.  Even after 3 months of being married it seems like a dream.  Things are settling down.  We really have no life changes planned for a cuople years.  I'm actually excited for this.  Our goals are financial right now, so it's just working and paying off bills right now.

I do this a lot lately.  I think of where we were a couple years ago (good friends who hung out a lot) and how we progressed.  DH used to stay at my house until late at night (before we were technically dating) and would leave as I was going to bed.  He would tuck me into bed before he left for the night and I would almost be asleep as he left the house.  This went on for four years while I told myself that I didn't want to date him because of religious differences.  I finally realized that he was the best thing that was happening to me and I told him that I wanted to date.  We dated for 9 months before becoming engaged and 14 between when we were engaged until the wedding.  We have known each other more than half our lives at this point, and he truly is my best friend.  Now that we are TTC, I think a lot about our past, and our future together.  I cannot to see him with our child someday and I know what an awesome dad he will be.

I often think about how blessed I am to be where I am.  I mean, none of our friends are married with a house.  I'm only 22 and I feel like I've accomplished a lot in my years...I have an education, a husband, a house and a business.
