This weird stage of life.

I got married a month before I turned 21. Do you know the average age for a woman to get married today?

27.

That's right, there is a second grader between me and the average woman.

That's not to say I'm better, or worse than a woman who does, but it does mean that by the time that average women does marry, I will be in my 7th year of marriage.

I also graduated a semester early from college, when it is less than common to finish "on time" in 4 years. This is also not to brag, I just happened to know what I wanted, and was blessed with scholarships that I didn't want to waste.

And I got married before I graduated. *GASP*!!!

As I said, none of this is to show that I'm better than anyone else (the more you read this blog, the more you will realize the opposite!), it's just want to point out how few people my age can relate to my life. Which makes it hard. And lonely.

It's a weird stage.

We won't be having any children for at least a few years (because hey! I'm only 21), so it's likely I will feel like this for a good long while. A lot of couples wait less than a year to conceive. Husband and I want to be able to have a stable, strong relationship before children come in to the picture. Our priorities will be right, and children will never be the center of our world or marriage. This also sets us a part. Many young/newly married couples already have children, so the pool of "those that I can relate to" gets even smaller.

I'm 21, married, done with college, with no kids in the picture.

So if there is anyone out there that (actually read this) and can relate...thoughts?
