We are completely opposite and disagree on most everything. He compliments me perfectly. He babies me. Bad. Reminds me of my dad spoiling me. I love it. Boyfriend is so patient with me. And forgiving. And lets me do my thing. He loves me more than anyone has ever loved me. He makes me laugh more than anyone has ever made me laugh. We have our own little world and we love it.

Money, unfortunately, rules the world. Finding balance in all things. Fighting weight gain. Going back to school for a masters. Finding money to fund that degree. Trying to plan for the future when you don't even know where you'll be tomorrow. Then adding another person into all that.
