One day...

I will look back on this time in our lives and realize that it was blip in time. A few moments of hardship that we got through. I will remember that it was a happy time though.

That I got to spend more time with my husband than most people do in their first year of marriage. That although we technically had little, we had a lot. That most people in our situation wouldn't have a 1600 square feet house (renting yes, sometimes rent free thanks to the in-laws - we are renting from them) or a house full of furniture that we didn't have to buy (got in college or hand me downs) or a 54 inch LCD (greatest Christmas present ever - love you Mom and Dad) we got to watch the Saints win the superbowl on.

We are blessed and one day I will look back and be happy that I went through this time. That hopefully it made me a better person and a better money manager and a more thankful person.

I'm a lucky girl.
