Allow Me to Be Serious

Yes, yes, the last few posts have been whimsical looks into our evening conversations.  Deep and brilliant, no?

But I wanted to take a moment and remember that this time is a very important time for Stephen and I.  As of yesterday, November 1, we have been together officially for four years.  I know, it’s hardly any time at all!

In that four years, we’ve lived in two homes together, gotten a dog, put a ferret to sleep, gotten engaged, married each other, and are now expecting our first child.

So. Much. Happening.

I seems (and feels) like a lot in such a short amount of time and can guarantee you that neither of us had any semblance of a clue this is where we’d be when we went out for trivia together four years ago.  If anyone had told us that night that this is what would happen, we probably would have laughed.

That said, we are still going strong and constantly looking for ways to make ourselves, each other, and our marriage better.  We want to be good parents and good spouses and each day is filled with learning and puzzles and ideas and frustrations and happiness.  Sometimes we’re motivated to be successful and productive.  Some days we’re lazier than sloths and only want to play video games all day.

I wouldn’t share any of that with anyone else.

In six months, we’ll be celebrating our one year marriage anniversary and welcoming our first child into the world.  So much in such a short time.

And I love it.
