Thought on Thursday

Yes, you read that correctly, I just have one thought on this lovely Thursday morning. OK, that's not entirely true, I have about 30 million thoughts going on at all times which is why I am such a spaz. 

Basically, I sat down to do a Thoughts on Thursday post and realized I am really only focused on one thing right now....being a grown up. 

After getting married something sparked in me, something I'm pretty sure my parents have been waiting 9 years to spark. I need to get my life in order. 

I'm 27 {no spring chicken}, I'm married and I have a full-time job. If that doesn't scream grown-up, I don't know what does. So I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what I want in life and what I need to do to get it. 

In the immediate future I would like a new car, I would like to travel and I would like to buy a house. In the future in it's entirety I would like to be happy, healthy, financially stable and have a husband and kids who think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread, I would also like to have a clean house. Like clean all the time. 

So as of late I have been trying to get my big butt in to gear. Figuring out bills, creating budgets, eating healthier, cooking more, trying to exercise, reading more books, keeping the house clean, washing my face before bed. Ya know, little things that add up to a better and happier me. Things that will lead to a future of blissful happiness. Let me tell you, it's not all that fun! It's depressing to see how much money I still owe on my student loans, or how many calories are in Cheese Puffs from LeeAnn Chin or how much I pay to watch television every month, and it's way easier to just hop in to bed without washing my face. 

But, I'm lucky. I have an amazing husband who makes me laugh harder than anyone has ever made me laugh. We're healthy, we have a great townhouse and we have great jobs that we love. It will take time to pay off loans, and save money and I may never be able to give up Cheese Puffs, but I think we can do this. I think we can get our shiz in order and someday have everything we've ever dreamed of...and I'm not talking about cars and TVs but  healthy kids, a clean house, a clean face and bladder control problems from laughing so hard throughout the years.
