Another choose your own......

So my sister had her second baby 3 weeks ago yesterday. She had a girl and now her family is complete because she has a son who is going to be 3 in July. So my first neice was born on 4/19 and one of my best friends became a mom for the first time on Sat 4/24. She also had a daughter. I would be lying if I said that these new additions to my life didn't make me want one of my own. Neither of these families are very well off financially yet they both just wanted to grow their families and now that they will find a way to make it happen because having kids is what they want. I know they are having a hard time and money is tight but they are so happy and I feel like that is what matters. It's not always about the money when it comes to happiness. The money just makes certain things easier. I guess it just makes it so that having a family can be more enjoyable because if you're not worried about the money then you can just enjoy the kids and do things with them that you want and not have to worry about it. I didn't think I wanted kids for a long time, basically all my life, until I met my current boyfriend. Once I met him I knew that wanted to have a family with him and I knew we would be together for the rest of our lives. Now knowing what I have in him and what I want in life it makes it very hard to watch other people get the things that I want. Even though I'm so happy for them it bums me out to watch from the outside looking in.

Catching up

Ok, so I haven't been participating in the blogging part of this class so I'm going to try to catch up now. So this one is a choose your own topic blog so here goes. I got engaged in February on a trip to Vegas. Our trip was amazing, we had such a good time, the engagement was just the cherry on the sundae. We love going to Vegas, I love everything about that city. Even though we weren't big partiers while we were there it was so much fun. So with that being said we have decided to have our wedding in Vegas. We're not going to do one of the little white chapels or have an Elvis impersonator. We're going to have it at Mandalay Bay at their Valley of the Falls location. We are SO excited about it. It's not happening until next year, 9/10/11 is the date. It's been a tough road getting to that final decision but it's the one we've made and we are happy with it. We are truly doing exactly what we want for our wedding day despite other people's opinions and I'm so happy about it.
