"My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights to attend a wedding at the Saybrook Point Inn, which was a quick 10 minute walk away. The owner was extremely responsive. The cottage is quaint, cutely decorated, and has everything you need for a great stay. There is a small deck which overlooks the large grassy lawn - a perfect space to soak up some sun. The yard is especially great for any four legged friends you bring along!"Guest: Janna B. Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 27, 2014View listing
"Ennis Cottage is a cozy, well maintained and clean cottage a few feet off of a scenic Branford Beach. The description would make it sound like the apartment is low on square footage, but it is surprisingly spacious (the bedroom/bathroom is small, the living room is large and kitchen well organized). The beach is across the street, with a small walkway. There is a moderate sized lawn and gravel path around the house, which was great for us - our toddler could run around safely. The beach area is also fenced in, again making it a little less worrying that the baby would run onto the street. The views from the beach is great, you see the smaller Thimble Islands and there is a small boat. Note: You do need a car (or a bicycle) to get around Branford."Guest: Rajkumar V.

"We stayed at the Spirit Horse Farm for two nights. How do I even explain this place? From the minute you step into the barn, you are in awe of it and of everything in it. The amazing handiwork, the open space, the incredible beauty that is Spirit Horse Farm. We had the best time. The beautiful farm setting in the beautiful area of Kent, CT. We have always loved the area with the hiking trails and Bulls Bridge and Kent Falls so it seemed a perfect place to go. It was beyond anything we could imagine. Thank you to Guy for making our stay wonderful. The many tasty treats he left us, his friendly personality and if you needed him for anything he was right there. We loved watching the chickens and roosters, the beautiful horses and the elusive peacock. Every once in a while, Guy would release the hundred or so doves and they would zoom around the huge barn we were staying in as if putting on a show. I would totally recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Great for a small intimate gathering as we had and we can see it would be amazing for a large gathering. We have booked more days in October to see the fall foliage and hope to bring more family members. The Spirit Horse Farm is everything the photos show and tons more. Thank you for providing such a slice of unique and for letting us live in a dream world for a few days. LOVE LOVE LOVE Spirit Horse Farm! This will be our destination for many more return visits."Guest: Janice Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 5, 2015View listing
"A fabulous home with incredible charm, space and fenced-in yard. You can walk to everything and get lost in the beautiful neighborhoods of mystic. There are not a lot of photos but this home is spacious and updated. It was so nice being able to bring our dog. We will be back again. Loved Mystic and all there was to do from hikes, to great dinners out and visits to nearby towns. Missing my early walks in town to the local coffee shop. People were so friendly."Guest: Monica M.

Who Was Your First Valentine?
My dad. He always brings me and my mom our favorite candy and a teddy bear.
A grade school sweetheart. I got her chocolate. That's all I could muster up the courage for.
A boy named Steve. We held hands—I was advanced for 11.
It was a girl named Jamie in the 5th grade. She wore the coolest cutoff leather jackets, and we kissed in a tree. It was magical.
A boy named Greg. We listened to AC/DC and roller-skated in the basement. He was my first kiss.
In 2nd grade, there was this one little red-headed girl that I was absolutely in love with. I gave her a card that said, "I choo choo choose you."

People can "say" whatever they want or hold on to any "idea" they want. The "fact" remains that research shows that putting off marriage until one can develop a carrer and some financial stability is a smart move. I would also posit that the divorce rate in this country would decline as well if people didn't marry so young.

There's also the fact that it takes two consenting people to get married. When the men aren't asking, there's nothing she can do without looking desperate.

From the story, "... everyone has that kind of right time to get married,
and I kind of feel like only you and your significant other know when that time
is right."
And that is the key - it shouldn't matter what society, or religion, or other people you know say, what matters most is what is right for you and your significant other.
All this ragging on people because you disagree with the way they are doing things only leads to people doing things for the wrong reasons.

It will always be beneficial for women to obtain education/training before marriage that could be used to help support or support a family if something happens to their husbands. The women who end up the worse off in divorce or in being widowed are those that are not prepared to support themselves or a family. They can then become burdens on church or gov't resources to care for their family. It is good to be supportive of marriage in a society. There are many benefits. But, times have changed and women need the ability to provide whether they choose to use it when they have children. Men who marry young, are not prepared to support a wife and children if the wife stays home have a terrible time as well. Young men need to be well prepared to take that on.

We have thousands of people who want to get married but cannot find anyone to marry, then we have others who are married and are looking for anyway they can to end their marriage. 90% of America wants to change their marital situation it seems at times.

I guess the theme of the story is that it is 0K to get married young and not
wait until you are educationally and economically more mature. Most young
people seem to reject that idea.
One variable that is conspicuously absent. Birthcontrol?
After marrying young when to start children and how does this impact the argument for marrying young vs waiting.
Many years ago when I graduated from BYU it was considered was considered sinful if you were married and did not have at least one child while in Provo.
Unless you have parents who support you or one of the spouses are working it is difficult economically. Fortunately for me I had a full time job with insurance while I was in school. My wife stayed home with the babies.
The draw back which is not mentioned in the article is that I was gone all the time either to school or work.
While my wife was interacting with all the other young mothers in our BYU housing complex I was the absentee father because of economic reasons

~ Amy
Homeschooling mom of 2 rambunctious, loving, spectacular boys, wife to an incredible man who has been my best friend on this journey <3
|A jacket for me (I've lost weight and last year's jacket doesn't fit at all.)
And the biggie: We're buying a dining table this month. We're eating on a card table currently, and I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 10 so a real table is in order before November. I'm scouring Craigslist; we're not buying new.
Tomorrow is the kick-off day for our challenge!
Is there anything you need to do to get ready?
Make a grocery list, write out your budget, put all your cash away?
What can you do today that will help you get started tomorrow?
Good luck!!!!
Bear with me...take a look at my tentative budget and let me know what you think. I'm going on the minimum guaranteed amount that I will get; hours that I am on the schedule, not on-call appointments. I always get them, but I can't really count on the money, KWIM? DP is disabled; fixed income, which is eaten up by diabetes meds and supplies. Is this realistic? We have very little debt, but I do use, or rather, have been using, a cc to pay for all expenses and pay it off every month. The money just flies out. At least now I know where it goes...
Family of 4- 2 adults and 10yo ds and 4yo dd and 4 cats 4 fish and turtle
Total minimum income is $960/month.
Grocery bill is $300.00 (DP pays for some, as well, with own $)
Gas for car is $50
elect/gas is $71.00 on budget plan
cable/phone/internet pkg. $120 (home business)
student loans $125
savings acct. for medical expenses $40
cat and fish/turtle food $ 20.00
rent $100 (we live in my parents 2nd condo)
car insurance $50
clothes $50
eat out money $50
I got $976. There is the cushion of my "extra" income, but I would really feel better with more savings and less outgoing. We have no insurance, so we have to save as much as possible. Any suggestions are welcome!
Frog -- We made a price list and went to Costco armed with prices from local grocery stores and Walmart...and then we compared how much we would save buying certain items and the savings in milk and bananas ALONE was more than the $50 joining cost. So we joined and we definitely shop there.
We don't buy many processed foods, but in Vermont anyway Costco has the cheapest milk, cheese, cream, bread, bananas, oranges, apples, spinach, organic carrots, coffee, and eggs.
And I'm adding a goal of going to the Gym because we pay every month for my gym membership and I go...but not as often as I should.
One of my goals is to appreciate what I already have...and this is a prime example of not doing that. Instead of going shopping on weekends or heading over to ebay in the afternoons, I'm going to go to my gym more regularly. Gets me out of the house, good for my health, and already paid for.

That's really helpful, Prudence, thank you! With the organic produce box we're getting, I suspect that I'm right and that a membership there won't really help us, particularly given our tendency to be sucked in by "good deals" on things we don't really need.
