No baby yet!

It is an interesting time in our lives. I am at the age (25) where I am definitely looking, acting, and feeling older than people in college. In fact, Doug and I were playing pickup basketball at Davenport, and he overheard one of the guys refer to him as "that old guy," and Doug is younger than me! I know I will look back at this post 20, 30, maybe 50 years from now and say, oh to be 25 again. I know I am not old. It has just really hit me lately how fast time passes, it feels like just yesterday I was in high school.

I know I am definitely in the baby making years, in fact several of our friends who are younger than us have 1 or more kids. It just still feels to early for Carrie and I. We still have so many things we want to do before we are "tied down" so to speak. I felt this way before getting married though too. People made it sound like when you get married, all of the sudden you have to become a responsible adult who works 9-5, vacations in Virginia once a year, lives in a house with a white picket fence and watches documentaries on the civil war during the evenings. But what I've found in our marriage is that it is completely different than that. In my experience, married life is the same as single life. It is just that you have another person to share those life experiences with. I suppose if you marry the wrong person, things can get frustrating and those feelings might settle in. For me, marrying someone who appreciates the little things in life and who is as spontaneous as me, marriage has not ended those life adventures at all, but in fact made them so much more enjoyable.

So tomorrow Carrie and I are going to put together a bucket list of things we want to do before we have a baby. I'll keep you posted.
