I bought my dad's house and Tiff, and I are married!

Hi everyone, there has numerous requests for updates and I still cant believe how many internet strangers are invested in my whirlwind of a life haha.

Now before anyone asks no she is not pregnant or anything, but Tiff has been working at the ER as a registration person so it can help with clinicals and knowing people and getting a good rotation. Well after Christmas Tiff got really sick and she couldnt kick this weird cough she would get at night it got so bad we took her to the ER and they just said she had a bad upper respiratory. She was taking steroids and an inhaler, but it still got worse, finally after she passed out at work she was diagnosed with Walking Pnuemonia and had to stay in the hospital for 2 days because of how bad it was. At the hospital they asked for her next of kin and wanted to call her parents, my Dad tried showing the guardianship but since we are no longer minors we are technically not her next of kin. Thankfully she was able to speak enough to tell the hospital we were her family but it really did give us a wake up call.

When she got home she still had some recovery and we started really talking about our future and where we are in life and how we really got snatched into adulthood, while we are happy together and we are in this to the wheels fall off we really need to stop playing family. She did bring up all the legal stuff she learned at school, wills, advanced directives and something proxy but it wasnt just about that as well but we have a daughter a life and while its 1000000000% sooner than expected we wanted to wait until we were 28-30 yrs old to get married it was the right step for us.

My dad sold me the house we did owner finance went through the title company and lawyers. Tiff and I decided to get married at the courthouse but dont worry I still properly proposed with a camera man and I cleaned up very well even wore a button down shirt. For the courthouse, I did wear a suit and she did wear a dress, our friends and family was there as well to make it as special as possible. We are planning to re-marry in 2030 to have a nice wedding/ceremony we figure she will be done with school, maybe even be adult enough for a honeymoon regardless we have 5 years to plan lol.

Since my Dad moved out to live with Kay it did change our relationship, we werent under "Dad's house" even though he wasnt in our relationship like that but not having a parent here really did change how we interact and its help us grow but we are nowhere near properly adulting. Like I totally forgot to buy toilet paper and random things that were just always there lol.

Now for my Dad and Kay and my TINY big personality little sister, she is the best and her and Jelly absolutely love each other. I cant tell you how much seeing them gave us baby fever but dont worry we still shut that down real quick. While we feel a bit more financially stable and just stable overall we are just not ready to be adulting to the point where we have 2 kids lol. Dad and Kay are so in love its ridiculously gross but its really nice seeing him happy.

Theres really not anything large happening other than trying to plan for some travelling going to Disney made us realize how much we are missing and Jelly did so well so we have some things on the 2025 travelling list, maybe road trips but I dont have a beard yet and I feel like Dad, Mom & Kid roadtrip requires for the dad to have a beard to be taken seriously. idk just a random thought.
