.....buy a house, or have a baby?
Or...something else?
What's the next big thing coming up in you and DH's life?
I am currently applying to law school and DH is finishing up his PhD dissertation. So big changes coming. No houses or babies for a few years, I think. It is scary and exciting to have the future be so wide open
neither, unfortunately. I've got to get my booty back in school! And hopefully the Hubs will get a driver's license and we'll get a car. I don't forsee us ever buying a house. I SO want a baby RIGHT NOW though. But alas, we're waiting lol
Nada! Just trying to survive through the days! We're planning a quick trip to Mexico though, so that's fun!
Buying a house will probably be our next big step. And thinking about Mr. Powder Puff starting his PhD.
Noooo to the babies for at least a couple more years!
I just started grad school. Hopefully DH comes home, ha! In June well be "trying" though, unless this fertility expert I go see Friday with DH thinks my clock is ticking faster than we thought!
Mr. Peep just started his MBA program last week, so we are waiting on the house and baby thing. I am hoping that the house comes first.
I want to get a house. I'm ready for someplace permanent, or at least for a good number of years. We might still wait another year or two for even that ... so for now, just getting in a good routine, traveling, and learning more (languages, cooking, music).
We'll buy a house and have babies eventually, hopefully in the next 2 years! Right now its just enjoying married life and attending weddings hehe. I was the MOH in my friends wedding last Saturday and we have DH's sisters wedding and my friends wedding in October.
Wow, what a bunch of studious bees we have here in the Hive! Lots of schooling going on.
we're in the middle of the 2nd round of the house-buying process... (our first offer on another house was outbid).
It's a learning curve, that's for sure!
First we are getting a dog, then we'll buy a house, and in a few years we'll try for a baby!
Pretty neat to hear that lots of people are going down paths other than babies and houses - yay for education and careers!
Also yay for babies and houses. But education and careers don't get as much recognition, so I'm giving them a shout out.
The whole world is open to us! We're looking to get a faculty job for me and the rest will just happen the way it's supposed to happen.
We have our house. Once married, we'll keep on working on our doctorate degrees. Eventually I'd like a pet or something, and baby too (someday)!
Too old for babies but we will be getting a bigger house in 2 or 3 years.
We'd like a house, but we'd really like to pay off a little bit of debt first. Stupid student loans! We also have the option of buying the house we are renting and getting a pretty good deal on it, but I'm just not sure it's one we can really see ourselves in long-term. I just started a new job at a school, so I think we'll wait on kids for a bit too! I really like my job, and I love kids, but I'm exhausted! Hmmm...what is next for us?
Most likely a job change (or in Mr. Swan's case getting a job again), travelling, and a baby somewhere in the next 2-3 years.
Mr. E and I are looking to move out of state! We both aren't crazy about our jobs and since we have nothing tying us down right now- besides are puppy Maverick- we want to start traveling and living around the US
First my school (BSN and Master's in Nursing to add to the BS I already have) and then his (MBA) maybe when we have a two person income in like 100,000 years we can start looking at a future besides what will eat tonight for dinner, Ramen or PBJs?!? :)
I will not be married for 2 months ... but feel like giving my answer! I will learn to cook and hopefully we will buy a new house. I'm dying to move out of fiances bachelor pad =)
I'm finishing grad school and then we're hoping to buy a house!
I'm just so happy and content to be married at this point - I want to spend the next few years continuing to have this elated happiness with my husband! I'm a little too selfish to want to share him with anyone else - including kiddos - at this point! Just happy newlywed time for the next few years. And we're New Yorkers, so no plans to buy a place any time soon!
@espresso: where do you want to move? I always imagined you as a Colorado girl.
Our next big step is to get the hubs through grad school. He's enrolled full time and I'm working. We won't have babies or buy a house until he's done, and then we'll probably do them both at once!
We will most likely be relocating too, due to the hubs future vocation (pastor). I'm excited and a little nervous that I have no idea where we'll be in a couple years!
Hopefully I'll get a new job -- one that pays better -- we'll pay off our debts and have a few adventures before we have kids and buy a house!
Not married yet, but our post-wedding plan is to first find a new place together in Baltimore and get me moved up there, and for us to live in Baltimore for at least 2 years while FI teaches high school with Teach for America and gets his Master's in Teaching. I'll be either looking for a full time job, or continuing my education and working part time - not sure yet! Oh, and we want to get a dog sometime soon after the wedding, but no house or kids for a while!
We started house hunting the weekend after we got back from our honeymoon. (Out of the fire and into the frying pan, I like to say!) It took his older brother 10 months of serious looking to find a house, so I think we'll be at it for a while.
We had it set that we would start house hunting right after the wedding... our lease is up the beginning of December (just in time for the tax credit... haha) so it works out perfectly :-) It's so stressful though!
we're finished with graduate school and have our careers started, so next step is to buy a house (well, probably a condo - houses are expensive in dc!). our plan is to have something by the time our lease is up on july 1.
Well, we have the house now, so babies next! But, we still want to wait a bit since I still need to work on finding a job that I actually love.
We will be moving back to my hometown in November. My hubby was finally able to get a new job after trying for over a year. He found out yesterday - what a great wedding gift!
So our first step is to move up there which will probably be a rental until we save a little more money to buy the house. If a baby comes between now and then, great, if not then whatever happens, will happen.
PS: it stills feels different to call myself a newlywed. :)
We already have a house but we kicked our last roommate out when we got married!! Now we are focusing on making the house nice and paying down the mortgage a bit. I didn't put a lot of effort into decorating or getting nice things for the house when we had roommates so now I'm really excited to make it truely OURS. We are also considering an investment property.
We aren't planning to have babies for another 3 years but if it happens sooner, that would be fine too :)
The hubby is in grad school part time, so thats not holding anything up but I'm considering a career change to teaching which would be a bit of a pay cut.
My DH and I are looking for houses, have found a few we like so we will be deciding on 1 to put an offer in on within the next week or so. DH is also graduating grad school (finally!) this December - it has taken him 7 years since he has been employed full-time on top of it.
No kids for 5 years! Even though I hear pressure from MIL all the time. Kids? No thanks! We were just talking a few days ago about taking a spontaneous trip to Boston for the weekend... decide on a Thursday that pricing looks good and hop a plane the next day. We couldn't do that with kids!!
I'm finishing up school and then we will conquer the world. Well maybe not the world but we are enjoying our time together. No babies yet at least not for another year or so.
I'm hoping to finish school in the next year. We'd like to do some traveling-we are hoping for a big road trip out west to Wyoming to visit some of his friends next summer. Do a little home improvements and get a puppy. And start trying for a baby in about 9 months to a year.
Well, I had the dog before we met.
I finished the doctorate in 2007 (and would go crazy if I had to do go back to school).
We aren't sure how long we'll be in this area, so we aren't trying to buy a house for a couple of years.
So we went for the baby option- I'm due Christmas Eve!
Wow, rosychicklet! Congrats! That's so exciting; yay for WB babies!
@rosychicklet - AWWWW congrats!!!!! YAY for december babies!
**Edit*** There won't be any babies coming along in my house, so FI and I plan to live the good life after the wedding as a family. My kids will be 9 & 10 by then. We'll be replacing my car hopefully, and then a bigger house will be next on the list.
