Wed Day

Duel Income No Kids. The hubs and I are DINKs. We actually have been for a while now, but it hadn't really hit me what a special moment this is in our lives until recently. We are through our shaky and uncertain early mid-twenties, and finally have our shit together. We're not rolling in it by any means, but we are finally feeling secure, and we're without many of the responsibilities we'll have as we begin our family. It's a period of relative freedom -- a singular time. I'm not sure if this is part of the culture of living in a large city or just the "crowd" we've found ourselves in, but many of our friends are in the same boat. Perhaps it's just a generational shift toward waiting a bit longer between marriage (or partnering-up) and having children. Whatever this cause, this time feels like it ought to be savored.
