(well, not so much him, but stupid med school loans.) so there are awesome dreams you can achieve without being married...just sayin'.

I was 33 and totally set in my ways. But, as an older married (having babies while my friends are starting to see empty nest in their near future)I have to say, it was easier for Jeffy and I to settle into our relationship. We were both at the point where we were done with the games and the drama. It was still terrifying to say, "I want to put the snow globe on the shelf with you." Prayer, fasting and asking all my marrieds helped.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481873050231586407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516523878202954752.post-10688504932446661112012-07-31T16:08:51.908-04:002012-07-31T16:08:51.908-04:00Katie - thank you so much for your comment :) I j...Katie - thank you so much for your comment :) I just love you! Also - I have no problem dating younger guys - I may actually be averse to dating guys my age or older.<br /><br />Joanna - I don't know if I can give you full credit for that.
