Nothing much......but a question!
So, I haven't posted because there has been nothing too exciting to post about. I have been busy with the kids and busy with pictures. I DO have to say that my lil' sis is coming in 6 days!!!!!! I am so excited to see her and Paige asks about her all day! We are going to have some GOOD fun!!
So.....I have a question and wanted to share with ya'll! It's been awhile since we've had some comments going and I wanted to hear some of your opinions. So here is the question.........
Is there a good or right age to get married?
The reason for this is I went to a bridal shower this weekend and it got me thinking about this whole age thing. I mean I TOTALLY would have gotten married at 18 if I could have but that wasn't the plan for me. I married Terry at 25! So is there a right age or what? Are some girls more ready then others? Ummmmm...something to ponder. I'd love to hear from ya!
I miss you all so much and wish we could see more of each other! I also want to say CONGRATS to Tara M. on having her sweet baby Abbie!!! I love her and hope to hold her soon! Love you all!

I want you to hold Abbie soon too! How far are you from Park City? Am I moving closer to you?
YES!!! But it's still about a 10 hour drive there. But better then a 16 hour drive!
Absolutely some girls are ready before some WOMEN in fact. I feel you have to know how to be unselfish and work hard, and I think ALOT of woman are lazy and selfish. I also think it isn't fair for a girl to get married until they have a chance to live on their own, have a few good experiences (etc. college or traveling),date alot of guys so you know what you want and what is out there,and THEN get lonely and have a real desire to be close to someone.
I got to do that all and still got married at 19. Therfore I am one happy Mrs. :)
(But nothing irks me more than a woman who gets married and have babies THEN decided she want to have alot of "fun" or make more money. There is a difference between having a few interests and hobbies as a mom (so we don't lose our minds!) and dropping your kids off at a daycare everyday so you can do more selfishh things. It isn't fair to the children. The church says any word with "self" before it can lead to a dangerous path. (self-exploration, self-interests, etc.)It is a hard balance to find though because we do need some time alone so we don't completely lose ourselves.
Interesting ?, Tiff- I always see girls getting married, now that I am an old 30 year old, and think they are too young. But I felt very ready at 23, so I don't know. I think 25 is a good age... I just think its important to be on your own and figure out who you are, so you don't look back and have any regrets. Its so much easier to do things before kids come into the picture.
I actually think its more important for the guy to have lived on his own. So he knows how to do his own laundry and cook dinner and vaccuum. I think its helps them not be so dependant on you as a wife and know who they are and what they want. Cuz they spend the rest of their lives working to support their family. Ya know?
Nice comments! So I wonder if it really is an age thing or how much you can get accomplished before marriage? School,dating,living on your own??? Can it make a marriage better if you are older and more wise?
Thanks for the comments! It's fun to see what people are thinking! I thought I'd get more comments like the whole 'breast augmentation" I mean that subject people can't stop talking about!!!! :) :) :) There was like 30 comments when I posted that! Fun times!
K I WAS TOTALLY MARRIED AT 19..I THINK THAT EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT! SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT BE READY THAT YOUNG! JUST A THOUGHT!! HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD WITH YOUR FAMILY! TALK TO YOU SOON!
Nikki.....you crack me up girl!
I fear that the problem with getting married too young is that as you and your spouse grow you might grow apart instead of together. But, getting married late may not be better. The older you are the more set in your ways you might be and harder to compromise. Which, all of us married women know, compromise is so important in marriage! I guess I can only speak from experience. I fell in love at 15 and probably would have married young if Billy didn't have baseball. Instead, I got my education, got to experience working "in the real world". We were still married young (22 for me). Waiting just helped give us a financial jump start. I don't think it would have mattered for us if we were 18, 22 or 30 though. Good topic Tiff!
I think the "right age" is different for everyone, as everyone matures at different ages. I went to high school with girls that seemed like they were really preparing themselves for marriage and a family throughout high school, where I didn't really start that process until I was in college. So after college (23 for me) was a great age to get married. I liked having the experiences that I was able to before marriage, but I don't think everyone requires the same amount of experience, some of us learn much faster than others :) I think the most important thing is to REALLY know who you are and what you want/don't want before you try to get to know someone else at that level.
I seriously LOVE reading everyones comments! It's so fun! Thanks!
Ok Tiff, it's Jessi Hall (Lund) I am skipping your question for now because I wanted to say that your little family is so dang cute. I didn't know your married name and by accident I cam across this and I was excited. I hear about Tara and I am glad she is doing good, but I wanted to know how you were doing and what the heck you are up to?
