The best thing about changing as you age – is you and your spouse can change together as living life and growing through shared experiences. Me and the shy kid who was reading the comic book in the corner while wearing knee high renaissance boots and a bomber jacket are about to share our 30th, How that happened we still don’t quite understand. Yesterday we were flirting while playing a Vampire the Masquerade game on campus and today we have a kid in college. We were lucky to find each other, but it takes honesty and commitment to make it work – joint responsibility and agreement on all major decisions. We had both lived on our own a few years, had some bad relationships, so had grown up a bit and knew what we wanted and more what we didn’t want.
My hubby is jealous that I get along w his Mom better than he does. LOL. I am fortunate – I had a great Dad (mine) and a good Mom (his). My first conversation with his Mom was when I called her and nervously told her he was really sick and possibly will need to be hospitalized while we were in college. She asked me what I needed. Me what I needed – not her son !!! I was shocked. I fell in love with her right then. Her logic was – take care of the care giver & she had gone through these issues with him before and knew how they went. As a college student in love – I was more than a little anxious and overwhelmed. And it was FINALS week to boot! Fortunately he got better – and we are celebrating our 30th this fall.
I have big dogs – I bought a feeding stand so they could just lean over to eat instead of bending all the way down. Was a great thing. never tipped and much less mess.
Getting a phone for my son was great. Now if an event was cancelled or rained out or ran behind, he could reach me and I did not have to worry so much or hang out in parking lots ( bored) just in case. Would be better if he knew how to answer it when I called him tho. :) When he was off in college he wouldn’t call, but text me a funny image every day or so – I loved it; just let me know he was alive and ok. He got his phone in 6th grade.
