Married life is great! After we married, we lived with my mother for the first 2 months. After that we moved out into our own apartment. I needed to be married to my husband and live alone. It was a challenge living with mom trying to control so much of our lives. All in the name of saving money for a future home. It wasn't worth my sanity.
While living in the Apartment in West Jordan, we found a plot of land in Riverton where we were going to build our first home. Corey was born in the Apartment and 3 months later we moved into the house!
I was so excited, then, Brian told me that his mother, 2 brothers and 1 sister were going to move in with us.. I was not excited. I was scared!! I had seen how relationships went when people moved in with others. I told Brian my fears and concerns. He said it would be good practice when he took on another wife. I would already be use to living with someone else. Took a deep breath and moved on. For the most part, things went well. To say I was completely comfortable all the time would be a lie but I learned to make the best of the situation handed to me. I had lived under worse circumstances before and this would be a cake walk....I hoped!
We had our moments, but for the most part everything went well. I look back on the situation now and am so glad I had them living with us! Not sure how I could have raised my children while going through Postpartum depression for the length of time I was. Knowing there was usually someone home to fall back on if I needed to have a small brake from the children was a blessing.. I see, now!
