I was going through old blog post of mine, because I can and because I wanted to feel like I was in Europe again. But through reading, I found this:
"I am really excited about the remainder of our trip, but I feel like it's going so fast and I want to make sure we are both enjoying it to the fullest. This trip is something we have been planning for so long; ever since we started dating. We always said we wanted to go to Europe on our 1 year anniversary and it's crazy that we have actually been able to do it. I still have my moments of, "should we have saved the money we are spending on this trip to buy a house?" But honestly, I just don't know if a house will ever make up for the feeling and memories that this trip is filling us with. I know that may sound immature or not smart, but I'm okay with that. I know it's hard for our family and friends to understand why we do things the way we do or why we spend our money the way we do, but its our money and our life. Yes, we eventually want to buy a house and have children, but right now that's not our plan (I have realized that Anthony and I just aren't the type to have a plan & I'm starting to get used to that). Our only plan is to love each other unconditionally and to make the most of what we have been given. We want our lives to be filled with wonderful memories we have shared through out the years and not the big house we have, but aren't able to do anything else. We refuse to let material things get in the way of enjoying our lives. Honestly, I could just rent a house for the rest of my life and be completely okay with that. Both Anthony and I feel that from this trip our marriage is growing and getting stronger. There is absolutely no one in this world I would rather share this with than with him!
Sorry, I went on a rant there...I just want everyone to understand why we do what we do. & we want people in our lives to be happy for us and not bash us for the things we enjoy doing. People live life differently and I'm okay with being different and not living that typical "have 2.5 children and live in a white picket-fenced house." Eventually we will get there and I'm pretty sure even when we do get there it won't be what everyone wanted us to do. So therefore I say, do what makes you happy because regardless of what you do...not everyone will be happy for the decisions you make."
I wrote this last May, I would have never thought a year later I would be buying a house and ready to start a family. All I can say is that we do like to do things "our" way, but that is the way it should be. Every one is different. I am definitely glad that our story right now includes buying a house and adopting 1 or 2 chocolate babies. I am glad God has placed this all in our hearts. It's obvious to me, after reading that blog, that this is definitely God's plan for us. I am so glad that our story is completely not normal. I think it makes us Anthony and Kay. And I am so glad Anthony and I do what makes us happy because truth is....we are.
