shameless..

Last night was The Husband's 24th birthday. He said, "I'm an old man!" in a whiney, childish voice when I told him happy birthday yesterday morning. I joked that yes, in fact he is getting old and balding. He didn't appreciate that very much. I can't wait for the year he turns 40 and I'm still 38. That'll be a good time.

So last night, we went out for his birthday, just me and him. We had such a good time...he's been really busy with school work and I've been wrapped up in dealing with the never ending family drama that we were excited about getting dressed and going out. We went to this restaurant downtown and just enjoyed being together. The Husband loved it, since he loves to try new and different foods. I was skeptical (as I enjoy specific types of food) but I really had a good time as well.

This is a gushy entry and I never do this, because I know how I hate people who do this all the time, but I thoroughly enjoy being married. I have always been a person who enjoyed deep relationships with a few people, rather than shallow relationships with several people. When I was younger, in my teens, I always looked forward to getting married because it would be the existence of the ultimate deep relationship in my life. It makes my life feel complete to know that someone knows everything about me, insecurities and all, and still chooses to love me every day. It's great to be able to give him back that same feeling. NOT that we haven't had our ups and downs, but I definitely feel like it was the right step for my life. I really do look forward to the years to come - birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and whatnot - to see where we will be when we're in our 60's...hopefully with a few grandchildren that we can spoil. It's shamelessly exciting. :)
