Beyond the horizon
So, it’s been awhile. (Vast understatement: it’s been about 10 months.) Fortunately, I don’t think anyone actually reads this except for me… so at least I haven’t left anyone hanging.
Big developments: I finished my masters degree in December, and I’m searching for a job.
Things that are making me think right now:
My freshman college roommate/best friend from college just had her second child. My best friend from high school (well, his wife) just had their first. My brother and his wife have a 6-month old. All of them have homes, and mortgages, and at least a facade of stability. What about me?
Well, Mr. M. and I are renting a small apartment in Boston, and hoping that I’ll find a magnificent job that I love and that will help pay the bills. While I like my current job, it’s a grant, and won’t last for too much longer. Homeownership here is uncomfortably out of reach for us in any realistic sort of way, at least at this point in time. As for the kid question– while we get it ALL of the time, I don’t know how close we are to a non-negative answer. Does that mean that we’re unstable, un-adult, un-American? or just normal?
