Do anyone else suddenly feel like they've fallen into a big casm where you're no longer in your early 20s but also not in the 30 club yet and you start to realise that you're actually living your life and should be making all kinds of big life decisions, saving loads of cash for possible future family, finding the perfect job that you enjoy and pays you huge amounts of said cash, and reading newspapers or literary classics over Sunday brunch?

No? Just me then.

I don't read newspapers, I prefer to watch News 24 for all I need to know about what's going on in the world. I kinda enjoy my job but it certainly doesn't give me huge amounts of cash, hence completely unable to save anything up. I am too selfish to think about starting a family yet and I have an inherant inability to make a decision about what chocolate bar to eat let alone big life changing decisions! To say I feel like I'm buking the trend is a bit of an understatement.

The past year has gone by so quickly with the wedding taking over all aspects of our lives so I've not really noticed until now that my brain has had a chance to catch up, that I'm starting that time of my life that always seemed so far in the future. The time that I thought I'd easily have things sorted by. When I'd have my life ahead all planned out. At the moment my brain can manage as far ahead as 'where will we be for Christmas this year?' and even that is a small concern until it gets a bit closer.

I know I should be pushing in my career and saving and figuring out when to start a family, but at the moment I don't feel like I'm old enough to make such grown up plans. I think I'll just snuggle under my newlywed duvet and come out once life has planned it for me instead.

Wanderer returns

I've been away. Both physically and mentally, in a parallel universe known as weddingdom. It was fantastic, stressful, amazing and all consuming. I started this blog last winter/spring naively thinking I could blog whilst planning the sh*t out of our August wedding all at the same time. Everyone else seems to do it so why can't I? Um because work and wedding planning was more than enough to try to balance for me (not that that worked out so cleverly either), let alone adding a blog to it. So it fell by the wayside.

Not that it left a huge hole in the blog world, or indeed a hole at all but it was something I was excited about doing, so is something I'm going to pick back up on now that I've returned from the the parallel universe I've been existing in for the last few months and from honeymoon (which was it's own kind of reality escape in itself!)

Thing is I now don't have any exciting wedding news to share with blogland or fun trips to suppliers, wedding dress shops etc. So it's just me and the simple (perhaps often a little dull) life that I'm glad to be able to get back to. Raw and uninspiring as that is, I love my life with my lovely new husband in our little house in the country, I just wish we could be on honeymoon forever...
