I am 28 years old. I am an attorney who recently married another attorney. We live and work in Oklahoma City, have two dogs, a German Shepherd and Black Lab, and no children yet, but we do want a family someday. We are active in our church and recently agreed to take over and revamp the young adults group. Bond is on the board of a non-profit and I try to participate as often as possible. I work out a lot. I like to cook which leads to us eating most of our meals at home. I love to read, so much that I am currently in 2 book clubs! I enjoy traveling when time and money allow. I spend most weekend “free time” (I use this term loosely) with family and friends. Some of the standard activities include dinners, brunch, football games, movies, and anything else fun I can think of.
I consider my life to be typical of American’s in their mid 20’s to late 30’s. Not based on the specific way I choose to spend my time, but in the overwhelming amount of things I commit to. Whether the need to commit is derived from obligation or pure enjoyment, it can still stretch you to a very real breaking point.
Disclaimer: I am NOT an expert in anything and do not profess to be one. I am simply trying my best to balance all the things I have to do with all the things I want to do. I believe it is possible to find a balance that allows you to be happy, fulfilled, and sane. And I need as much help as anyone to find it.
I have found great ideas and grown by reading other blogs and hope that by sharing the things I do it may help someone else. I also hope that by creating a space for you to share with me I will continue to learn and improve myself. Maybe in the process I will be able to find a balance, or at least manage the clutter without losing my mind.
