39/15

Wow, I'm 39 and have been married for 15 years.  What the heck?  I often say that I really don't mind getting older.  I can honestly say that.  I read someone ask on a FB status, "Would your 20 yr old you be proud of who you've become today?"  and as I thought about that, I realized that she would.   I had never thought about that before.  I get down on myself a ton for messing up, but if I look at my life in that light ~through the eyes of my 20 yr old naive, selfish, insecure self~ I am pretty happy with how I am doing.  I do really think getting older is great.  Ron and I will have been married for 15 YEARS tomorrow.  I can say the same thing about us.  I'm pretty proud of how we're doing.  It. has. not. been. easy.  But the fact that I love him more now than I did then is pretty telling for me that we are doing this right.
