I am sick and tired of hearing people tell me that I'm crazy. Crazy for getting married so quickly, crazy for doing it before finishing school, crazy for not starting my career first. It seems like that's the norm nowadays. I've also been told to wait because once I get married, I won't have a chance to have "fun". No more late nights with the girlfriends, no more parties, no more being "young".
Every time I hear this it makes me laugh. I have never really been one to go out with the girls. Even in high school, when Friday or Saturday night came around and my one and only best girlfriend was wanting to go a party or the movies, I was home. I was wanting to take a hot bath then end the night cuddled up in my bed with a good book. Ever since I can remember, all I've ever REALLY wanted, more than anything, was to get married and start a family. I never pictured myself going through college alone. Never pictured myself traveling alone. I never pictured myself as the young single 20-something woman who's the center of attention. For as long as I can remember, I've been a homebody and I always will be.
So tell me something.
What is so wrong with having my greatest desire be to become a wife and mother. What is so wrong with seeing a picture of a beautiful baby and thinking, "I can't wait to look upon my own beautiful baby. What is so wrong with seeing a mother praying with her two little girls and thinking, "I can't wait to teach my children to pray." Whats so wrong with seeing a couple sitting side by side, holding hands and thinking, "I can't wait to love someone that much." What is so wrong with risking my career instead of risking my dreams.
Women of the world are trying so hard to prove themselves that they forgetting what we were made and designed for. We are natural nurturers. By divine design, fathers are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families and mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children.
Oh the things I could talk about.... but I must put my ranting on hold before my fingers fall off from all the typing.

Of course I can! I was so happy to hear that you got hitched as well!
Steph! Know that what Heavenly Father wants for you will happen. AND without ever meeting Chris I approve...which should say something. You will be happy as long as you both stay in contact with Heavenly Father. Communication is key and learning to compromise. People will always push against what you want and feel is right because Satan will continually try to tempt your heart that "the grass is greener". You were right in saying, "Women...are forgetting what they were made and designed for." Marriage for a women is the Higher calling even when considering a Mission. (think about that) I love you, I hope this encourages you. <3 Ashleigh
