As I've grown up I've noticed a few things... For instance, in the church it's all about age... When do you turn 8 and get baptized? When are you 12 and able to go to Young Women's? I bet you can't wait until you are 14 and can go to dances. 16 yet?? You get the picture... So once I graduated high school it instantly became what are you going it do for a career? In all honesty I didn't know then and still kind of don't know now. I know I want to be in the health care field, but as for what I'm still not sure. I'm almost 27... After graduation it also became, when are you going to get married??? WHAT??? I seriously got so sick of hearing this question that I tried to avoid situations where I may be asked about it.
So, now that I'm getting married in 2 months (can you believe it???) it's slowly becoming another question... When are you and Rusty going to start having kids? How many?? Rusty and I are old by "Mormon Standard" to be getting married, but does that mean we can't enjoy a year or two like most married couples? We have had this conversation and have said we wouldn't be upset if we ended up getting pregnant in the first year, but it'd be nice right? Neither of us really has a set number of kids either. We just know we want some and however many the Lord will give us.
So, I guess what I'm saying is why all the questions? Why can't people just live their lives and do what they want without all the questions??? Does/did anyone else feel like this???
