Sorry, its a long one!
Well, The STORY!
Have a good laugh!!! Two days after returning home from our honeymoon in seattle, Steven comes to me and askes if I'm in a good mood. I say yes, than laugh and ask if theres bad news. He says kind of, I ask if its financial, he says, not yet. Again, I jokingly ask if he got fired again (Steven got fired a month or so before the wedding from a LOT of misunderstangings!) He went quiet.I laughed harder! He said yes, he had gotten fired. I assumed he had been fired that day (tuesday). No. Monday? No. Then where did you go on monday? To the library then came home when you left for work. So when did you get fired then? the day before the wedding. I laughed. I really did. It was hilarous! At the time that is. I do not blame him, hate him, or not trust him for not telling me. It would have ruined EVERYTHING! The wedding, the honeymoon, all of it! Fast forward a week. Steven's last payday. There is $500 missing from our bank account. we freak, Oh crap we have no job, LOW money, were screwed! Apparently, our hotel bill (which we thought had gone out already) went out late! $500 is a LOT! Again, lets fast forward here about another 2 weeks, it is steven's 20 birthday and we are on our way to a local family fun center... The car DIES!  Literally it died. It was used from my grandpa but it DIED! as in DEAD and not coming back to life. It is now in the U pull on 99W. SOOOOOOO, One month into marriage and Steven and I have NO Money, NO job and NO car!  I say no job cause I was still part time due to wedding planning. WOW!! I hated when people asked me how married life was. It was sucking eggs!! Steven and I however were great. We did not argue much at all, and probably have had more fun then ever. We just had a VERY tight spending limit. Thankfully our friends and family really helped out! Steven and I were the "we can cover you" ones when friends didn't have the funds too have fun, so when we were tight they jumped right up to help. Steven got a temporary job, but was fired (again) due to "insuficiant transportation" so again, family stepped in, namly steven's parents, and bought us a 97 subaru outback (cutest thing ever) and Steven got a job at INTEL (yeah baby!) He doens't even have the accounting degree and they took him! Big ego boost for him! Whew! That is the story of how marriage sucked and now is getting better. We are still not quite out of debt from having no money for a few months, but we are getting there! And we'll live happily ever after!

Oh yes, I definitely remember the "no money" stage of marriage. Our first five months were INCREDIBLY difficult, but that improves with time. It also made us much stronger as a couple and I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world.
