In early engagement, when I first began thinking about the idea of “two becoming one” I sort of pictured it like the process of combining chocolate chips with cookie dough. In other words, the following equation:
That’s bull.
Two words start with “D-E” that sometimes have the same connotation to me. One is devil. The other is debt.
It’s now 5 a.m. on a Saturday morning after a sleepless night, and I’ll be honest, it’s one of those days when “devil” and “debt” seem synonymous.
I grew up listening to Dave Ramsey whenever I was in my dad’s truck and even had to read one of his books before I got my first cell phone. So being newly married, 25, and knee-deep in debt sometimes makes me feel like I’m failing at life.
Brandon and I would both very much like to be out of debt before we have children or buy a house.
Maybe you feel that way too.
In my short time on earth, I’ve concluded one thing:
It seems that the most freeing moments in my life happen to be awkward ones.
And no, I’m not referring to the kind of moments when you fall down the stairs at school or you score on the wrong goal during a basketball game (although, I’ve unfortunately had to embrace those awkward moments too).
