I am so happy here. It's like were finally getting around to fulfilling the terms of our verbal prenup. I got married at the ripe old age of 20 but didn't want life to be "over" then. I wanted to finish my college degree (took 3 more years), work a bit as an engineer (worked 2 years), wait a while to have kids (waited 5 years) and travel the world (only just beginning this one after 12 years marriage). Traveling is much more complicated with 3 kids but still so totally worth the wait.
For the record, Brian had conditions too. We had to have out infamous finance date. It was that day that I was first introduced to the software program Quicken. We had to input every penny we would spend as a married couple each month to make sure we could afford to live as a married couple. It was that day I learned my true value. We ended up $84 in the red every month in our electronic mock up of our life. He proposed anyway and we're still happily in love twelve years, twelve moves and three kids later.

"Twelve years, twelve moves, and 3 kids later"--I just loved that. And your verbal prenup made me laugh--we probably did something similar but I can't remember the details! :)
