So, the past couple of weeks i have been studying, wedding planning, and pulling all nighters trying to get papers written. In the midst of all of this i have been trying to plan out mine (and Kel's) future. The current plan is for me to get an internship the summer, and immediately get a job and continue to work my ass off like i have been for my entire life. Recently some new ideas have come up and i am excited at what might be possible.
(First please understand this is hypothetical.) The idea i am having now is if Kel has a god enough job to support both of us and our bills for a couple of months, i will be taking some time off. I have never done this, no matter what trails have been thrown my way. i never even took summers off, i have always either been working or in school or both over the summers. So my idea is that next year i will finish my internship in the fall, and either work part time or not at all until after the wedding/honeymoon. During this time i will still be applying and interviewing for jobs, but if i was offered a job i would extend the day i could start until at least Nov. 1st. However, the idea of being able to finish old projects, catch up with new and old friends, visit people, and maybe even read a book sounds absolutely amazing to me. I know some people might not like this idea, and others wont see the point, but most of you will understand the need i have for a couple of months where i can focus on myself and my relationship with Kel before becoming a wife and everything else that entails.
I have discussed this idea with Kel, and he is beyond exstatic at the idea that for the first (amd maybe only) time in our relationship he will be the hardworker and i can learn how to relax and enjoy life.
You definitely deserve this! If you guys can make ends meet with just him working, it will be good for you to have time to relax and enjoy the last few months of wedding planning! I bet, though, that even a part-time job will be a huge decrease in work. Without homework, etc, just having a part time job will keep you from crazy boredom (which would probably happen sooner than you think since you have been constantly busy since you were old enough to have a job), but you'd still have the time to visit people and read! Plus, you could always save $ from a part-time job for extra spending money during your honeymoon!
