The Woman With You...

I'm a sap for country love songs (actually country music in general). I love it. Chris & my mom swear that country music puts them in a foul mood, but for me it does the opposite. When I hear one of my old favorite songs it makes sitting in traffic just a little more bearable.

So this morning on my way to work I heard one of my faves, Kenny Chesney. Ahhh how I love thee. It went a little something like this:

The girl I was with a business degree

probably wouldn't recognize me.

I was gonna run the bank I was gonna run them out.

Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath.

Back then you know I had this plan

Before all of this reality set in;

Here comes life baby ready or not.

I wanted it all & that's what I got.

Cheesy, I know, but this song really describes my life right now. I don't know what I thought I'd be doing with my life, but I am positive this isn't it. I guess I thought Chris would magically float through law school, we would survive on money falling from trees & I would just hang out and play house until he got out. Ha.

I know better than to wish my life away, but I find myself wanting to fast forward through the next year and a quarter. Everyone is constantly telling me, "It will all be worth it someday" but sometimes I wonder will it? I have to take step back, put things into perspective & remind myself how luck we are; We're debt free, no children, family and friends who come visit, and living in the big city with tons of exciting activities. This is supposed to be a fun time of our life, so why rush it?

&&& I love my husband because... he lets me listen to country... but only if it's Pat Green :)
