wow, reading all of these stories about all of you young mom/wives really gives me inspiration! i'm not a mother of a child (just the mother of my yorkie!) but i am a young wife & times have been tough for sure. i think i'm to blame for some of that because for a while i had a SERIOUS spending problem but i think i've got that under control for the most part. being 20 yrs old and living with my hubby for two years now on our own has had its ups and downs but i don't think i'd want it any other way. ask for my being broke stage when my hubby and i moved in together it was a crappy two bedroom apartment with me, him, his brother and his brothers girlfriend... booy was that a lot of people for that place. we had no heat or air conditioning. just electricity (and even that wasn't a definite thing! haha) we at ramon noodles evvvvery night for months!! to this day i can't even look at those things! sometimes we'd have mayo on bread and i can remember eating taco shells... just the shells!! haha. when hubby got a huge raise we finally moved out and are pretty secure now. (thanks to him) but all of these stories are things i can relate with and i find serious inspiration in the stories of young wives who made it!
