So, does the contemporary home maker have a genuine interest in politics or does she just go along with her hubby’s opinion? Do married American women care about what’s going on in the world as much as their counterparts? Maybe it’s just my observation, but whenever I am in a company of other couples, men seem to be a lot more passionate and opinionated about the politics than the women. Why is that? Is it because we don’t care for discussing the subject or we trust our partner to make the right decision without us being involved, or possibly we’re too busy being submerged in our own family world of cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids or maybe we just plain don’t care? In our family, my husband is a better politician than me. Thanks to him though I do seem to keep up with the major headlines by catching a glimpse of the national Fox News channel in the morning. How ironic, back when I was single, I seemed to have a higher interest for politics, bbc.com was actually one of my bookmarks and I checked it almost daily. Now I believe I can rely on my husband to make the right decision when it comes to the elections, but I am genuinely curious about them as well.  I like to check out Washington Post online, it’s pretty decent when it comes to news coverage.

2007 was a busy year for me. I got married, got pregnant and had a baby; all in one year, wow! Hard to believe, the year flew by so fast. We got married in March of last year. It finally happened, at thirty years old I was finally a married woman! My family was equally happy as I would be considered an old maid back where I grew up.

We decided not to wait around to start trying for a baby and about a month and a half after the wedding I found out I was pregnant. Based on the due date estimation we’re thinking the conception happened within a week after the wedding. It was hard to believe that it happened so fast, but we got what we wanted. And it’s all that matters.

Here we are, it’s March 2008, our baby is almost 3 months old already. I feel very lucky to have my family. They’re perfect, my dear husband who works so hard in order to solely support all three of us and my gorgeous baby girl. She’s so precious, it’s my bias opinion, but she really is precious, no kidding.

I decided to take this time off school since it’s my first time being a mom and I’m glad I did. Taking care of an infant is a full time task on its own. I don’t know when I will go back to school, possibly in the summer or might be even later than that. So far I’m pretty content with what I have, so we’ll see as the time passes.
