Have you ever noticed that when life is action packed and drama filled all you can do is hold on and wait for it to be over? Yet when it is boring you somehow miss the exciting times and wax nostalgia about having so much to do. Am I alone in this? I don’t know just a thought. Right now my life is fairly hectic. I am going to school part time, working part time, planning a wedding, and working on getting into a 4 year University. I have precious little time to enjoy life (at least not the kind of enjoyment I would prefer). I am not complaining. I wouldn’t trade this time for anything. I would just like the opportunity to breathe once in a while. I know that getting married won’t necessarily solve the time problem but at least we won’t have a wedding to plan. At least I may get more sleep than I currently do, it seems like we never have enough time together. Just when we start enjoying each other’s company it is time for me to go or her to go. If nothing else when we are married she and I can fall into bed together and at least have some rest. We have less than four months until the wedding, I am excited and nervous all at the same time. We have virtually nothing done, which adds a bit of stress to us (just a bit I know). We barely have time to sleep, eat, and to do homework much less plan a wedding. I was trying to explain this to my fiancée’s family but they don’t listen to me. I’m not sure they are accepting me as of yet. It is kind of frustrating. I want them to accept me but it isn’t a deal breaker. At least they don’t hate me, which is a nice alternative to past experiences. You know the interesting thing about my life is this that when I was younger I wasn’t very accepted by my peers but adults usually loved me. Now I am not accepted by people that are my senior either (perhaps it has something to do with now most of them are my contemporaries and or peers as well). I know I am rambling, I didn’t say the post was going to be riveting. It’s just a title, I couldn’t think of anything else.
On a happy note though I am finished moving, which is so incredibly nice. I am living in a bedroom of a very nice lady that has two daughters that are in high school and middle school. My room is on the complete other end of the house from theirs and I have my own private bathroom. Although the money situation was nice when it came to living in my parents mobile home the autonomy that goes with being in a stranger’s home is quite nice. I am actually looking forward the most to being in an apartment with just my fiancée and I. No more annoying personalities to deal with and most importantly, it will be our home and we can keep it clean and pretty (I should post pictures of what I use to live in and what it looked like when I left but that will have to be for another post completely). We won’t have much starting out but alas, as I have come to learn not having is almost a blessing sometimes. It means you learn to live without the things that aren’t necessarily important anyway; especially in today’s society there are too many people that can’t distinguish the difference between “wants” and “needs”. You need a place to live (even “homeless” have some where to live even if it is a cardboard box or under a bridge or wherever), you need food, you need air, and fairly important is clothing. Everything else is nice to have but definitely not necessities. I think the world as a whole would be a lot happier if they learned to live within their means and stick to what is important. Cell phones, iPods, cars (luxury), etc are just wants for the most part. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t want better or more than what you have but that you shouldn’t sacrifice your life to buy more “things” that aren’t needed. That’s just my opinion. I’ll get off my soap box now.
Well I suppose I should find something do besides blogging, I certainly have plenty to do, you know with the wedding and what not.
