i'm not even sure if i remember how to work this thing
i just remembered a long time ago when kristie and i use to think that we would still have/write in our lj all the way until we were thirty and had children. i guess i didn't really live up to my end of the deal.
anyway, in the past 2 years i have moved out of my parents house, got a really good serving/bartending job, and got married to my best friend dwayne. I feel so grown up not, aside from being married, my dad use to always be on my ass about doing things around the house... getting a job, and wow what a hypocrite he was. Since i am only 21 and dwayne is 23 i think that we are providing for our selves a lot better than our parents did when they first got married. We're able to go out whenever we want, buy what we want, work when we want, and i think for being that young and married i feel like i have accomplished a lot. Of course i haven't finished school, but i often get people that fill out applications at Red Robin ,that have graduated from college ,and still haven't found a job and that makes me feel a little bit better.
Dwayne and I are finally ready to purchase our first home. We figured out what we needed to pay off, how much we could afford.. so now we just need to start the process in deciding if we want a condo, single family home, or a manufactured/modular home. Each housing type has its pros and cons, but the way i see it is that i want to get as much house for my money. I plan on starting a family in the next couple of years and i dont think the michigan housing market is going to change. I need something that we can grow into as a family and have as a long term investement.
i'm not sure why i wrote this entry. I guess i just wanted everyone to know that i didn't die.. i do really miss them and just to know what has been going on in my life.
maybe there will be more entries.
