life with two sets of twins
Missed Chapter 4? Read it here.
Cody and I were dating for almost four years at this point. We moved from my apartment into a 3-bedroom townhome and then into our current house during those four years. We were basically doing what married couples do but he was still only my boyfriend. Life was going great and I knew he was the one I wanted to marry. I was just hoping that ring would be coming soon! 🙂
Another year has flown by and I can honestly say its been the most stressful one yet. Having two little babies can really turn your life upside down. I don’t think I could have navigated through it without my incredible husband by my side. It feels weird saying that we’ve been married for two years because it feels SO much longer than that.
It’s been awhile since I poured all my emotions into a post so today seemed like a good day to do that. 🙂 I’ve been struggling lately with many things and most of them revolve around being a stay at home mom.
**Disclaimer: I wrote this in one 20 minute session (with little regard to punctuation or grammar) and didn’t realize how much I had to say and how many cuss words I needed to say it. 🙂 You’ve been warned.
Lately this topic has been on my mind. I really really miss my high school friends. Some I lost touch with, others I still talk to but not nearly enough. I truly miss the hours of chit chatting about stupid gossip. I feel like we’re all still the fearless 17 year olds that are currently just going through different life stages. Shit, I am only 26 years old, married and have four kids! That’s not typically what you hear from someone so young. A lot of my friends aren’t even thinking about marriage yet or they’re about to get married. They are kid free. The kid-less life seems like some other dimension to me. My life has revolved around my little babes for the last eight years. Trust me, I love my coffee filled, yoga wearing, baby chasing life BUT I miss the days where the only ass I wiped was my own.
Well.. we did it! We survived our first year of marriage. Every one always says that the first year is the hardest. That might be the case for couples who have not already been together for awhile or are experiencing living together for the first time but it wasn’t for us. Cody and I had been together for six years prior to getting married and had bunked up together the whole time. So really, getting married didn’t change much. Our first year was a great one!
