At least once a day here in Texas, I run across a customer or employee at work that is completely shocked when they see a diamond on my ring finger. "You're MARRIED?!!! How old are you??!!!" It cracks me up. They almost fall over when I tell them I'm 22 and I've been married for a year.
This is why I feel totally and completely comfortable with my decision for not having kids anytime soon. I'M still a BABY myself PEOPLE! I shouldn't even be married at this age! (Although I'm glad I am and I love my husby Tyler). I'm not going to lie, it sort of kills me when people ask when I'm going to have kids. I'm 22!!! Twenty two! I think it's great that some of my friends my age want to or already have kids, but that's just not what I want. I have so many years ahead of me to have children. I could wait until I'm 28 to start having kids....who knows! And the point is that it's up to me. And only me. (Okay maybe Tyler a little, but he doesn't have to stay at home with them all day ha ha).
I just wanted everyone in the bubble of Utah to know that people here think I'm insane for being married at 22, and that it's totally normal not to want to have kids at my age. I graduated from high school 4 years ago. I am a baby! This being said, it doesn't mean I don't want kids eventually. I'm excited to start a family...eventually.
Do you read me? :)
