My sister said to me the other day, "You're renovating a house. You're like an adult!" This coming from the mouth of a mother of TWO children, and whom has been married 5 years! But so far, marriage and home ownership has made me feel more like a kid than an adult...
Top 5 reasons why I SHOULD feel super old:
I'm married. A Mrs. I have a 'husband'. Weird.
I turn 30 next year.
We bought a house. In the suburbs. Surrounded by families, dogs, and small children.
People ask me on a daily basis when I am going to have a baby.
I cook all the time. And make my husband coffee and breakfast every morning...well except yesterday.
Top 5 reasons why I don't:
I am currently unemployed, leaving my summer days completely free.
I have no ride. Except my bike. And I wear a helmut.
There are lightning bugs EVERYWHERE.
I am SO scared of the dark and the house at night. I refuse to go in the basement most of the time, unless Chris is here.
We've been riding our bikes to Tod's Point for a little exercise after Chris gets home from work. And I have been twice before 7AM, to ride and take early morning photos. GORGE beach.
Chris wants to join this tiny yacht club :)
sailing school
paddle boards!!
family of raccoons
lots of folks with their fold-out chairs and a bottle of wine watching the sunset!
It's just me and Big Red this week. No car. Just two wheels and a basket....
We went to the post office to mail a letter to London.
Then I completely over-shopped at the grocery store and totally weighed us down. (I had a bag on each arm also). It wasn't such a smooth ride home... And people stared.
Thursday night, Chris and I headed out to Sag Harbor for the holiday weekend. Paige and Matt drove up from D.C. and we spent the weekend cocktailing, relaxing, and snacking on cheese aboard the White Whale situated on a mooring ball just outside the break wall :)
