A little irritated...

I have a small rant. My feelings were hurt recently and I wanted to write about it, because afterall, this is where I share things. So if you're not feeling like reading a rant, then you might want to skip ahead, otherwise here we go.

I am married as we all know. I have been married for almost 2 years. I got married at 23. I have been with my husband for 10 years this year. Yes, 10 years. We own a house, we own our nice appliances, we own two cars, and we have a dog. We both work full-time jobs. We prefer to hang out at home instead of go out. I cook dinner almost every night. We live in the suburbs instead of the city. We don't really like the city. Hubby and I are contry folk. We are thinking about children. Yes, we turn 25 & 26 in about 2 months. We are young. I understand this.

But we are happy. We are completely and utterly happy with our lives and the live we have worked so hard to build for ourselves.

It really irritates me when people judge me for the life I have. People will start talking to me and we will be getting along great. Between normal conversation and question asking to get to know one another, all the sudden I'm not interesting to talk to anymore. Why? Because of everything I have listed above. Why does this make me less interesting to talk to?

Because I'm married and we don't go out very often? Because we don't go to the bars every night and enjoy our twenties? {whatever the hell that means} Because I'm about to be 25 and I want kids? Oh wait, is it because I cook dinner almost every night? Why is that something to be judgmental over?

I mistakenly made a comment that I was the married old woman in comparison to the others when I was tired of being ridiculed. They broke into laughter that I was in fact the old married woman.

You know what? That's fine. I'm fine with being the old married woman. I have an amazing husband who loves me more than I ever thought someone could love me. He's there for me when I need him and he's supportive. He helps me around the house and he does laundry all by himself. My husband is my best friend and I love him more than anything in the world. I know that no matter what we may ecounter, we can get through it together. We've worked very hard for everything we have. I think it's fairly impressive that at 22 and 23 we bought our first home - one we built from the ground up. I cook dinner everynight because we enjoy eating at home and don't want to waste money by going out to eat all the time. We live on a budget to stay conscious of money and to be able to save.

It really irks me when people make comments about how we live out in the country and how we don't go out and how we're already wanting kids. It's our life and our decisions. I don't make judgements against them and whatever they have chosen for themselves. I always say "To each their own."

I don't want to begin to repeat myself and rant on and on. I think you're getting the point. My feelings were hurt because apparently I'm uncool in the life I lead and I'm boring. Well you know what, so be it. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life with my husband and if I have the choice I will always chose a night in with my hubby cuddled up versus going out. I'm happy that I cook dinner everynight and have become somewhat of a good cook. Yea, we're going to think about children this year. Yes I am crafty and love to make things. It's my life and it's a life that I love, so please do not pass judgment on me and my happiness.

Thankssomuch. {end of rant}
