I'm am so excited that by love and I are finally tieing the knot :) We're looking for an apartment near base and can't wait to get things started.

But... my mom is not happy. She has done nothing but be negative and completely discourage me. It's not that she doesn't want us to get married, she doesn't want us getting married at the time we're planning. She has done nothing but say anything she possibly can to convince me not to do this. It kinda hurts... I wish she was happy for me. At first she was excited about it. Now, it's like she'll do anything to keep it from happening. Even my father is telling me I shouldn't move up there. I understand the point my he's making. He doesn't want us to get settled into a lease and then have him get stationed somewhere else. But, I highly doubt they're going to redirect Tye when he's in the middle of school.. We just want to get a 6 month lease and see how it goes from there.

I want this more than anything. Yet all my family is doing is bringing me down. I don't understand... I hate this...

what I've learned {and am still learning} is that it's impossible to please everyone. in the end you really just need to do what you feel is right and what is going to make you happy. if the people in your life can't be happy for you and supportive of the choices you make, then that's their choice. it's a lot easier said than done, trust me, but when you start to actually focus on your own happiness you'll realize it's much easier to do what makes you happy. rather than trying to please everyone around you, which essentially just causes more stress than necessary
