Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

I can't believe I've already been married for a year!!!
I guess that's my biggest accomplishment!

Oh, and we adopted a new kitty - and she's perfection

And we've saved some money

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

Well we both started new jobs in Dec. 04. So job-wise we are much happier on 05.
We bought our house at the end of 04 so in 05 we are continuing with the renovations.
My sister is pregnant - due in Nov 05

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

We bought a house and are moving in the end of the month.

And I am getting a new job with less stress

I think this year has been 10 times more stressful then last

We are doing lots of renovating in our home

But the BIGGEST change is we are expecting a baby boy in July!

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

We are anxiously awaiting closing on our house at the end of May (hopefully sooner)

Every week we drive out to the house to see the progress and take pictures

We're TTC again and hoping to get PG SOON!!!

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

On the marriage front, all has been great. I love being married to my DH- he is perfect for me.

My job's been very stressful and I fear I may come to hate it. I do vent to DH but as helpful as that is, he can't fix things for me. So I am grappling with a lot there.

We are in the process of buying a house- we should have a closing date very soon. I can't wait to have a yard and a washer/dryer. No more laundromat!

I think too that I am still dealing with a little disbelief over the fact that two years ago I didn't even know DH! (Date #1 was 5/23/03). I had really resigned myself to the fact that I would always be single and probably not have kids. Sometimes I can't believe that this is my life.

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

2005 has been very good, but very stressful!
We bought a house in February, so we are very busy with fixing it up and budgeting...i started a new job two weeks ago- so far, so good. it feels like a lot before we've even been married a year! I need more sleep

not much different, still a balancing act.

I did not enjoy planning my wedding at all, so I'm glad it's done with. Tho I am happy to help my sister who is now planning hers.

Re: so - what's life been like since '04?

Well, we made it to our 1st Anniversary, everything is pretty much the same except that we are 3 months PG with Twins!! That was pretty shocking at first.
