(If you can’t tell, I love when soccer announcers yell that! I digress.)
Where to begin? As I have mentioned before, the fiancée and I are not only planning a wedding but planning a move out of the state of GA to NYC. It is all very exciting but nerve-wracking at the same time because this is the first big thing we’ve really had to tackle together as a couple. I won’t even go into how we don’t have jobs (but are looking) so we are saving money to buffer that BUT that is a whole other post.
Being two driven women, we have goals that were already in place prior to us meeting. I want to get my PhD, she wants to go to law school – so we have that. We are both paying down loans; I have credit cards that I am trying to get rid of. On top of that, we are trying to figure out how we are going to balance a move, combine finances but at the same time maintain a separate identity and settle into life as soon to be wife and wife.
We still plan to pursue our educational goals, hopefully attending the same school, if not that, the same state hopefully. When it comes to everything else we will tackle it as we go along. We know where we want to move, the places we want to go to school and a deadline that we will be married by. Everything else, we will tackle it once we get there.
It is all new and I’m thankful she is my partner in crime through of all this but I can’t deny that it worries the hell out of me. I am used to always thinking about myself and how I see my life, having her here does change that. Not in the ‘oh-my-god-why type of way but after relying on myself for as long as I have; I would be lying if I found it easy to allow myself to mesh with another human being. Despite all that, she’s worth it. We are worth it, our future lives are worth all of it and I can’t wait until begin to officially embark on all of it together.
I’m in a sappy mood today, what can I say?
Our goal is to be in NYC by July and married by March 2012.
