Is it really almost half our lifetime ago that my hubby and I were 19? Dating, going to school, fewer bills, fewer responsibilities. Yep, that was more than a couple of years ago. Yesterday we were kid free (thanks to Omi and Opa) so we got to hang out like we used to. We went for a run, relaxed and then enjoyed supper with just the 2 of us. It is fun to laugh and be silly together and not worry about what the clock says. Although in the good old days we didn't have to think about farm chores before bed or whether our daughter would be able to sleep without her blankie (oops), we also didn't have the depth of experience that we do now after over 15 years together. I can only imagine what intimacy exists in marriages of 50, 60 or even 70 years; the trust, forgiveness, commitment and faith required to hold on through the ups and downs of life. Thankfully we cling to a cord of three strands.
