It's the time of transition. Graduated college in 2010, married in 2011, bought a house and expecting a baby in 2012. Those are the usual milestones, but there are so many other things that have happened in the last few years that are equally important. Life may seem like it will slow down, but I don't really expect it to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249964 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:00:30 +0000 MrsH 249964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Got engaged 2008, Dad diagnosed with cancer in 2009, built house in 2009, and got married in 2009. Dad passed away in 2011, husband and I started grad school in 2011, 2012 got BFP, miscarried, will graduate from Grad School, 2013 hubbie will graduate from grad school and hopefully we will have a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249947 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:43:25 +0000 ladyfingers 249947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: People do that to me too!

Finished school/engaged. Moved to Mexico/married. Had a baby/pregnant with no.2. All in the last three years. Then again, we were dating for 4 years before all that, and I feel like we're at a good age for all these changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249888 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:57:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 249888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've had a couple big years.

We moved in together in January of 2010 (after 1 month of dating!), I graduated from college December 2010, and we got engaged the week after that (Xmas 2010). THEN I started my first 'big kid' job in March of 2011 and got married after one month there (April 2011). And then... we bought our first house in January 2012 and started TTC July 2012! Phew! </p> <p>That's quite a bit of stuff crammed into those 2 years! We also went moved apartments twice before we bought a house, and endured my parents' divorce. No one else could have thrived with me the last two years like he has :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249850 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:35:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 249850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we are definitely on the slow train. Met in 2000, started dating in 2003, long distance for a few years, moved to the same city 2008, engaged 2009, married 2010, and now TTC 2012. I don't really think anybody, ever, could say we were rushing things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249837 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:25:21 +0000 aprk 249837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got engaged, moved 500 miles away, got married and pregnant in less than a year.</p> <p>It seems like change breeds change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249820 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:17:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 249820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Graduated college in 2010 and immediately got my first teaching job, got engaged a couple months later, married in 2011, and currently TTC (waiting on our take-home baby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249819 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:17:22 +0000 Mrsbells 249819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we got engaged in 2010, married summer 2011 and then had a baby spring 2012, its just been a continous journey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249813 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:14:56 +0000 Running Elley 249813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A big yes for us too! Got together and moved in/bought a house in 2009, engaged in 2010, married in 2011, bought our new house/moved/BABY in 2012. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249809 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:13:18 +0000 heffalump 249809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I graduated with my masters when I was 24. Met DH when I was 25, and moved in with him 5 months later. We got engaged 11 months after we met, married a year after that, bought a house and had LO a year after that. It all does seem to happen at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249808 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:12:47 +0000 hilsy85 249808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I think I did as well! I graduated grad school in 2009, started my first job, and got engaged all within a 2 month time period. 2010, I got married, 2011, I quit my job/found a new job, and 2012, we're going to have a baby (and now may be buying a house?!). Seems like every year has SOME major life event. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249804 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:12:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 249804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely! people have said that often to me, too, which is a little annoying after awhile (they're implying it in a negative "aren't you about to lose your mind? can't you just relax?" type of way).</p> <p>I met DH in 2007, moved in with him in 2008, we were engaged 2009, graduated undergrad in 2010. married in 2011, pregnant january 2012, graduated grad school may 2012! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-through-a-lot-of-major-life-changes-back-to-back#post-249788 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:06:11 +0000 DillonLion 249788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I graduated college in 2009 and moved in with my then-BF. We got engaged in 2010. We bought a house and got married in 2011. And our first baby is going to be born in 2012. </p> <p>It didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Life was just moving along! But some of the people in our lives took a little bit longer to adjust, I guess, and still haven't come to grips with the fact that we have grown a bit over the last few years as we experience these things. </p> <p>Anyone else just move quickly through a few major milestones? I expect once the baby is born there won't be any big changes after that for a good long while for us... </p>
