Goals

When Adam and I got our own place when I was only 17, I made a choice then to not work. I chose to stay home and be the best fiance that I could. And when we got married in 2009, I chose to continue staying home and be the best wife that I could. I have heard hundreds of times that I am lazy, married Adam so I wouldn't have to work, I'm just using him. Please. If I was going to marry someone for money, it wouldn't be someone who makes 12 bucks an hour at Amazon. haha 


We don't have kids. I'm not a super busy person running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I don't struggle to keep my house clean, or keep up with things around the house but I do my part in my marriage and I make my husband proud, just as he makes me proud. I cook, I clean, and take care of the finances. This has always been, not only my choice, but Adam's, as well.


In October of last year, I got a job on Elance. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it, either. It only paid 290 a week and I worked my ass off, writing 10 blogs a day, each 600 words, each, on credit repair. Yes, credit repair. 70 blogs a week on just one subject is tough but I managed to do it and finally my boss gave me a much easier topic to work with and a much easier schedule; fashion and I only have to write 20 blogs a week but the pay is a lot less at only $70-$90 a week. I definitely find this a lot easier to balance.


Obviously I don't plan to go my whole life not working at a "real" job. The main reason I never started working in the first place was because I didn't want work to consume my life, especially if I'm not doing something that I truly love. SO! I decided to go back to school for Interior Design. It's something that I have been interested in for the past 6 years and I am sooo ready to pursue it and give it my all. And I'm so proud of Adam for recently deciding to go back to school for audio engineering. 


In five years, I plan to hopefully be graduated and working as an Interior Designer. I hope to have a kid by then and be settled down wherever life takes us. I also hope that by then I can look back on all the struggles and be proud of how far we have come. 


So don't judge me if you don't know the whole situation. I have goals just like anyone else. I'm not planning on living out my days and becoming a crazy cat lady XD. I love my husband very much and would never make any choices that he wasn't happy with. It's our marriage, our life and as long as we're happy with it, everyone else can say what they want :)
