New Trend

As I was picking David up from class today, I saw one of our friends and his new wife.  They were driving a brand new SUV.  I also know that this particular girl has hundreds of shoes.  And they live in a big apartment.  Her dad is a lawyer and they aren't exactly scraping by.  I told David that lots of people we know are marrying into rich families and he said it was like a new trend.  I told him he kind of drew the short straw on that end....

My family was never rich growing up, but we sure did have a lot of fun!  Even now, we still have lots of fun even if it's just sitting around the dinner table talking.  David and I keep joking that we're going to be the poor family on both sides.  But we also joke around that our house is definitely going to be fun!  We're always talking about how awkward our kids are going to be whether it's tall, freakishly skinny kids like David was or too scared to talk to anyone like I was or more likely, they'll just have the weirdest quirks you will ever see. 

I know it's going to be awhile before we have money.  Before we don't even think about spending $25 buying lunch, or can go on vacation without having to plan out and save up for it for 6-8 months in advance.  But I think no matter what our situation, we'll find ways to have fun.  When we get time together, it's usually just at home.  Or out buying pops...(we said we were going to cut back, but that didn't really happen....I kind of turned him into a Mitchell in that respect....) but even if we're just at home, we have fun.  And laugh a lot.  I think we laugh more than any other couple I know.  We have fun.  I think that's all you could ask for in a marriage.
