More than half my LIFE

I have been married to the same man for more than HALF. OF. MY. LIFE. Yesiree!



Some days it seems like 50 years and some days it seems like maybe 5 (more of the 50 and less of the 5 LOL). Some have been good and if your married you know that some have been bad.



We have been through alot in these last 25 years, just learning to be married was quite an adjustment (and me learning to make gravy). Most of the time I think we are still learning that process. (Husband would probably say that I am a slow learner) We have enjoyed raising two wonderful sons (21 months apart) and all the joys and tears that they brought. The tough times, the good times, happy and sad, they all came and went in phases. Made it through most of them without much tribulation. I said without much, not without any. Raising kids is not always easy and carefree, but the good times sure do outweigh the tough ones.



I was a stay at home Mom in the beginning, until the boys were both in school. That was the hardest and most fulfilling JOB I have ever had. I was lucky, Husband had a good job (he is a workaholic) and we could afford for me to be at home with my sons in the beginning. Both boys are now grown and have moved on with their lives and now it's back to the Husband and ME. That presents a whole new learning process for us.



We have been through 25 count'em 25 years of hunting seasons and yes he is still alive. In the beginning of this marriage I dreaded bow season and being left at home every weekend for three months every single winter. Now to be honest I look forward to it. I look at it as MY TIME. My time to do what I want, to watch what I want, to eat what and when I want and I enjoy that some of the time ( OK I enjoy it alot).



In those 25 years we each have lost loved ones, both of Husbands parents and both of my parents , also my only brother. It was the hardest times of our lives. At one point I felt like the Funeral Planner and that's not what I want to be when I grow up.



In those same 25 years we have also gained some wonderful friends, some have came and went, and some will always be there. We have become close to them and their kids, and grand kids ( We don't have any yet so I claim theirs as mine, She shares)



Most of all in these 25 years we have loved each other, fought with each other, raised two kids together, cried and laughed together. But in the end we made it 25 years, more than half my life.

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY HUSBAND!!!!





Here's to the next 25!!!!!!!!!

P.S. WAIT TILL YOU HEAR WHAT I GOT FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS

O.K. I'll tell you

For those of you who have thick, bouncy, full of life hair STOP READING. This does not concern you! You won't get it, you can't even start to understand. For those of you who have fine, limp, stringy, lifeless hair, You my dear can continue to read.

For most of my younger years my Mother would give me a "at-home-perm" which I hated, but had no choice, she was my Mother. So several years ago I made the decision to never perm my locks again. Well I am now tired of the fight. I have no fight left in me for this mess of hair that I have been given.

So a few weeks ago Midlife Slices posted that she got a perm/body wave and it made me start to think maybe just maybe that would work for me. All I could think of was my younger years and those curly curly perms. So I waited. Then last week I said what the heck "I want a body wave"
Friday at 4:30 I did it, ok so it stunk for two days, but now I love it. I can fix it and it will last all day or at least most of the day verses an hour maybe two without it.

Thank You Midlife Slices for letting me get in on a little of your courage. Cuz now I have big controllable bouncy full of life curls that match the rest of me (the bouncy part, as in my butt, not the controllable part)

So if you have fine, limp, lifeless crap hair like mine, put on your big girl panties and go get a body wave (If you want to)
