~ Older today than we've ever been ~

In anticipation of my Darling Bride's birthday today, my mother in law, http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/bakerswife, has been presenting slide shows of my Darling Bride when she was a girl. This got me to thinking.

Once upon a time Darling Bride, you, all our friends, and I were little girls and boys. Then we grew up, and it seemed to take forever.

Today our darling children, all their friends, are little (or not so little) girls and boys. They will grow up, and it will seem to take but a moment.

We grew up, and so will they. Birthdays ought to be a happy time to celebrate the past present and future.

Happy Birthday Darling Bride!

Thank you, Honey! It was a very happy day. Your observations are too true. Can it be that we have been married for 13 years and have 3 elementary age children? It happens in the blink of an eye.

Yes, isn't amazing how it seemed to take forever to grow up yet now that we are here, life is speeding by!
By the by, many of my favorite people share this birthday including your lovely spouse and mine! Such a small world.

Have a wonderful day!

Laura Ingalls Wilder always called her husband Almonzo "The Man of The Place." Anyway, hopefully writing about my (mis)adventures will encourage you along your journey! I'm a 41 year old, Husband, Homeschooling Father of 3, Businessman, Christian, etc., trying to apply 1 Thessaolians 5:11, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up..." (and maybe a few laughs along the way...)
