I mentioned that husband is going to be starting a new job soon. Well, in the mean time, he’s home a lot more often than he used to be, and I am really getting spoiled. We have even been doing the grocery shopping together like we used to, and really, doing almost everything together. I guess we’re just taking advantage of the opportunity. Soon, he won’t have nearly as much time and I’ll be missing him again.
When we met and were just friends, we spent a lot of time together. When we were dating, we were inseparable, and stayed that way well into our marriage. We did everything together as often as possible. When he began having to travel with work, I was disappointed. I missed him terribly and still do when he’s gone. I’ll admit, I was even angry at times, because I loved our life together.
I still do even though we’ve had to adapt quite a bit, but for right now, I intend to enjoy every extra minute. We have had time to do a lot of things we don’t often have time for like sleeping in, playing a game together, or just snuggling up to watch TV. It reminds me of those good old days, but I’ve found that good new days work too.
We’ve changed, we’ve been through a lot together, our schedules and obligations have changed, and even our love for each other has changed. It’s grown and deepened over time and I consider myself very blessed. The cool thing is that it doesn’t matter what we’re doing together as long as we are sharing that time. Like I said, even grocery shopping can be pretty cool when we go together.
Our kids seem to think we’re pretty silly, and one of our daughters even informed me that, “Old people aren’t supposed to act crazy in love.” I don’t know who told her that (or who told her I was old!) but I intend to stay crazy in love for as long as possible.
