Farewell DINKS!

Dual Income, No Kids.

The big day is coming fast. Time for reflection. We are quickly approaching the end of a wonderful era, DINKS (dual income, no kids). As mom and I say goodbye to this era, I will reflect on the things that made this time so wonderful!

Here is what I will miss the most:

  • Only worrying about Mom
  • Being lazy when I want to
  • Sleeping in
  • Privacy
  • Larger Paychecks
  • Doing things at the last minute
  • Hanging out with friends - without planning too far in advance
  • Taking a nap - I love you, NAPS!
  • Vacations - week long, out of the country
  • Being responsible for only entertaining mom
  • Quiet house

I know I could add a few more if I really sat down and thought about it. I realize parenthood has its advantages, but the days of being DINKS were oh so nice!

Happy Birthday 'Nell!

Dinky DINKS! That's a good list, those are things I am grateful for most of the time...esp the sleeping in and taking naps! :)

But so excited for Baby B!!!
