The first of many, and why im blogging

      Growing up I always thought about my dreams of being cinderella and finding my prince charming. It seemed to be an obsessive thought that I choose not to share with some people. I don't meet many pre-teens who have not dreampt of that. However, in this aspect, I was the odd one in junior high and highschool. All that I could think about was getting married and traveling of course. I wanted to hurry on with life and move pass the monotony of high school. I wanted to speed up my life and find the man for me and get married. Everyone thought i was silly for caring so much about these things at such a young age.

     

      Now, a little over three years later. I am married. Is it the exact way that I had invisioned marriage as a kid? Suprisingly, some days yes! I wanted to be a house wife so I saw myself doing the dishes and doing the laundry and organizing meals. I saw myself cutting coupons, and sewing my husbands ripped jeans. So now this is a reality. I actually had a pretty realistic expectation going into marriage of what this first year would be like

 

      I love it but I respect married people more than ever before. It is hard. It isn't always glamorous. You dont always get along. My point in this blog is to say, I am young and dumb according to some people. I know hardly anything about marriage. I have a lot to learn, but im learning every day and I want this blog to help other young woman. Not only do I want to write this to other married and un-married woman in preperation for marriage, but I also want to write this to get feedback. I want advice and I want encouragement. I want to hear the stradegies of other wives young and old. I want to learn what it means to be a "good wife", and to have a "good marriage."
