Day 22- Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel.
Oh boy, I never get to rant! This should be a change of pace, so I feel like I should preface it by saying, don't take any of this personally. You may think I'm talking about you, but I'm most likely not.
Okay, time to get my rant on!
So it really annoys me when people like to tell Zach and I (but mostly they say it to me) when we should or should not have kids. Or when you run into someone in the distant family that you never see and they instantly ask with that look and say, "So when are ya'll thinking about having a baby?" Or "What are ya'll waiting for?" First of all, when we do have a baby, I can tell you, we want it to be a surprise. I love hoopla and celebration, so don't worry! When we are expecting I will make sure we tell everybody in the most fun and creative way I can think of. (My mama always said I had a flair for the dramatic anyway! ; )
Now, I know people just ask these questions maybe because they
a.) think it's funny to hear my reaction
b.) genuinely care and are interested in Zach and I's plan of procreation. (Aca-awkward!)
c.) are nosy... Not unlike myself at times! ; )
My point simply is, having a child is something that we discuss extensively and have considered since before we got married. We love our family and friends, value their opinions, and can't wait for when they will one day love on our babies. However, in our case (and I'm sure in many, many other couples cases) we would love it if people would pray for us and our journey to eventual parenthood... And leave the timing of making babies up to us! (And God!)
I hope you enjoyed my rant! (Even if you laughed the whole way through because you think I'm petty or silly!)
Have a great night! My last day if school is tomorrow! : ) Can we say "woo-hoo!"
