hmm... again?

so many people around me are getting pregnant or married. again... i guess it's my age. being in your mid twenties is the time you're "supposed" to get married and have a family, at least that's according to common society. my only question is why? not that i am not thrilled for my friends and relatives, but i guess i am part of a different crowd. i do want to be married someday, sometimes i wish it'd be sooner than later, but then i remember i'm not ready for it. i am mentally ready for marriage, but not financially. even though i don't want a big wedding, i don't want to be a starving newlywed couple. and as far as kids goes, no thank you. beau and i aren't "kid friendly" and we are both on the same page as far as children. so i guess i should be thanking all my friends for repopulating the earth since i won't be doing that. but then i get the pressure from people asking me when am i going to get married and have kids. it just gets a little overwhelming. well my answer is yes, someday i'll get married (hopefully to beau bear). and no, we are not planning on having children. we are leaving that duty to our siblings. but we are more than happy to be the cool aunt and uncle :)

so congrats to all my friends and family who are having children and getting married! i am happy for you, honestly!
