New Year's Blues

I don't know what this is but it needed a title so that's what I'm calling it. Maybe it's because I have my period that I just am tired of dealing with all of this...I'm tired of holding it all in and not having anyone to talk to, yet every one else gets to talk and I will listen. I wonder if this is why my mom is the way she is. I never wanted to

I can really relate on the wedding thing. I felt like nobody I knew in real life wanted to talk with me about my wedding except my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law. Most of them thought I shouldn't be getting married... so I was afraid to bring it up least it come back to that topic. I am still unhappy about it over a year and a half later. Last spring, a friend was getting married and he and his now-wife brought their wedding invitations over to our place so we could help them get them ready to go in the mail--I was so jealous that they felt like they could do that! I practically felt like I had to keep my wedding a "secret". It's too bad you don't live in Chicago! You shouldn't have to go through this either. It really sucks.

I'd really encourage you to wait a bit on the house though. You're only just out of school, and you will be in much better position to buy if you give yourselves even just a year or two. Of course it's up to you and Jason, but it sounds like it's really causing problems for you, so I think it might be better to wait until you can do it without it being a hardship. Besides, if you are hoping to get a better job that you will stay at for a long time, it would be nice if you could choose the location of your house based on where the job is, rather than needing to choose a job based on the location of your house.

Overall I'm very happy to buy a house near the end of this year. The timing right now is perfect: Our apartment lease is up in September and the housing market in the Boston area is at it's first 'low' in a while (and is only going to go back up. houses around here are crazy). Plus, Jason's business is bringing in more money...making his salery increase as well. I'm stressed because I'm waiting to hear about a great new job with about a $3 pay increase. I only need to pitch in a little bit a week for the house, I'm lucky enough to have Jason to afford the rest. I guess I just feel guilty that he has more money. But, then again he's been out of college for 2 (or 3) years and makes more than most 25 year olds.

Thank you soo much for listening to me! I felt better after typing all this and just getting it off my chest. I will def. keep your advise in my mind:-)
