We have to work a little and get some dirt under our fingernails to appreciate the things we do have. Brandon and I are right there with yall in the debt situation, and we don't own a house either (the search has kinda been postponed for time being), and we don't have everything figured out about life! We're all in this together. <br /><br />Breathe. Live life. Love your husband. And take one step at a time. Try not to stress :)<br />Love you girl!Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951528053138742146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455334441081128457.post-35408315211713641032011-03-11T20:56:19.373-07:002011-03-11T20:56:19.373-07:00Your post brought tears to my eyes - only because ...Your post brought tears to my eyes - only because I'm with you. No our situations aren't the same, but at the end of the day - frustration with life is frustration with life, no matter how you spin it. I've been dancing with it for about a solid month and I keep hoping for the light at the end. And I think you are right, thats why this blogging "community" is so important... we can connect with others that we wouldn't otherwise. Here's me trying to have a little bit of hope for us both... that it will be ok. That the pieces will start to fall together. That at the end of the day all it takes is a deep breath and a little faith.<br /><br />Keep your head up girl.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791114041683548830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455334441081128457.post-57913130614412304842011-03-11T16:46:22.175-07:002011-03-11T16:46:22.175-07:00Ohh Ashley!

I'm in my 20's, have debt, and am unsure about life sometimes too. But try to keep the positive in perspective! Thinking of you :-)<br /><br />And PS-- I want that soup and sandwich tray so bad! ;-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138159251981640478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455334441081128457.post-86938712949505022312011-03-11T11:50:51.053-07:002011-03-11T11:50:51.053-07:00Im in my 20's, super mega in debt, I don't...Im in my 20's, super mega in debt, I don't own a house, I'm not even close to owning one, and I have no idea where I'll be living in a month, but Ill tell you what, Im excited to find out...and Im excited to move in. (I know Ill be still living in Hollywood, or close to it, I'm just not sure about where exactly.) It will be ok Ashley! Getting out of debt is done in baby steps. As long as you are working at it and not getting into more debt, things will be ok. Anyway, I read a book that has helped me a lot. It's called "Getting Things Done" The art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen. I know that I will never again be stressed out when things are "sprung" on me because of what I have learned in this book. If you want me to send it to you, I wouldn't mind a bit. Just facebook message me your current address. It has made a huge change to my life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987327449876423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455334441081128457.post-78459581383580027792011-03-11T11:47:27.540-07:002011-03-11T11:47:27.540-07:00um, ME!

Who knows where we will be living in May!!!<br /><br />Hang in there! But DO KNOW that you are not alone!!<br /><br />p.s.

The thing is I have only been here with him for two months as I spent the last two years away from him in Canada. So now I have to repack everything up and move into an apartment for two months while we search for a new home or potentially build our own house. But we aren't sure what we can afford. Sigh. Plus I just started a business here and now I have to move that too. And I am in the process of getting my greencard. Sigh. I feel ya sista. Stay positive; it'll all work out!!

We don't own a house yet, it's definitely not in our near future and I feel that I'm at a crossroads with my career which has me feeling overwhelmed! My husband and I aren't planning to start trying for a family until next year and I really want to be a stay-at-home mom but I'm not 100% sure that it will happen. So I'm at the crossroads as to where to take my career if staying home turns out to not be the best option for us. Sorry, that was a lot to read huh? Basically, I can sort of relate. Hope that helps. Feel better hun! :)Brandi https://www.blogger.com/profile/11157698726145829903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455334441081128457.post-25815748974127744452011-03-10T14:00:01.359-07:002011-03-10T14:00:01.359-07:00I can't say that I am in your boat but I am ab...I can't say that I am in your boat but I am about to marry a pilot and it's scary and overwhelming...and exciting. I know that it won't always be overwhelming and I trust that it will all work out some way or another.

And it doesn't get easier as you get older -in fact it can be tougher to get through those 'darned if you do, darned if you don't' times. But you two keep helping each other get through this stuff, and you'll be okay. "All You Need is Love" lalalalala :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666595407471011293noreply@blogger.com
