Truths

• I keep a watch on my arm 24/7, even in the shower... it is the least girlie digital watch that you'll find at Target.... but I need it for teaching everyday. I've found that if I take it off, I completely forget to put it on for a good week and it throws me off at work. I'm thinking of finding a cute digital watch face and attaching it in a cute way to my work apron because somehow I NEVER forget that.
• I get mad jealous inside over others that have things that I want. So I have to slow myself down. We're still saving for a house, but it might be the spring/summer of 2011 instead of 2010 because while we could save for a down payment, I'd hate to save so much and then drain our savings because of it. So we're going to add a year so that we'll have a down payment and an equal amount of fall back money. The houses around here that we like would make a 40K down payment if we went with 20% of higher. It'll suck staying in an apartment longer, but it'll be worth it.
• I want kids but I think that maybe.... I want them sooner than later due to pressure. Our parents are cool about the waiting, but others are not and have commented that "We're getting old" and how we're close to 30 (I'm 25, he is 27) so it is easy to get swayed into thinking we're doing something wrong. But we're not and I need to be reminded about that every so often.
