I seem to be getting this question a whole lot lately. Honestly, it's exactly the same as engaged life... just without all that wedding planning in the way.
Philip and I have lived together for almost our entire relationship. We know each other inside and out. There's no changing just because we said "I do."
And then I get the, "So what now?" people. When are we going to start a family? Honestly, I've got baby fever bad. We want kids. Three of them. However, we've still got a few years to go. We've got some traveling to do first (a cruise next year and possibly another international trip the year after). We know we won't be doing a lot of traveling once we have little ones, so we need to get that out of our system first!
Also, we need to be more financially stable. Philip and I actually do really well. We are great at budgeting and make the best of what we've got. However, when we have kids, I will be a stay at home mom. That's $25-30k less a year. So, we've got some preparing to do before we can afford kids.
We need to buy a house. Philip's credit won't allow that until 2013. Besides that, we don't know where we will be living. Philip is trying to find a supervisor job with Sysco. We don't know where that will lead. Hopefully a lot closer to my family (the Chicago job would have been nice, but that didn't pan out).
So, Philip and I will be doing our normal thing for the next few years. Just hanging out and enjoying the life we have together. :) I'm okay with that. I'll just satisfy myself with drooling over baby clothes until we're actually ready.
