My husband recently celebrated his 34th birthday. Every year he asks me how old he will be and inevitably guesses about one year younger.  He is always encouraged when he thinks of me being almost three years older.  He likes to remind me that  I will be fourty first and has been known to say. " I can't believe that I have a wife who is "36" years old. Of course the number goes up one each year. I am quick to remind him that I might be older but I'm trim enough and not hard to look at (unless I have an angry face on maybe :)  This year I told him he was turning 35.  He paused slightly and was on to my game. I figure if you don't keep track of your own age then that leaves it as open season to be teased! 

Another 'milestone' occurred at about the same time.  My three youngest were at a grandparents house so we allowed our eleven year old son to stay home for the first time by himself. My husband and I went out on a date.  I'm sure it was only yesterday that he was born fast and furious!  Ah me, but good times were had by all!
