My father has always been a strong role model in my life. I connect with him and feel like I am a lot like him. I have always been a daddy's girl and have loved having a committed, spiritual, loving father in my life. I know that not everyone is so lucky to have such a strong father figure in their life. I knew that when I got married that I wanted to marry someone who had the qualities of my father in them, such as spirituality, dedication to family, and a love for adventure as well as life. I have been lucky to find those qualities in my husband. I think that in finding a spouse it is important to be looking for those strong qualities you desire and to not stray from them. Its never good to be overly-critical, but when you are choosing your forever someone, you want to make sure you don't just choose the first person you think is amazing.
Talking about finances is something that I usually don't like to do because I get stressed over thinking about how to properly budget. However, this time it was really beneficial for me. I went home and talked to my husband and we made a budget that day. We have had budgets before, but we needed something that was a little bit more forceful or helpful in reminding us if we were on track or not. We found this amazing site called mint.com. I would recommend it to everyone! Through mint.com we were able to create a budget that was reasonable and even create goals for future family vacations! I really appreciated the One For the Money book that we received as well because it helped me to realize what is most important to be looking at when budgeting.
