You ever look at your spouse and think

1. I wish I could do this.

   There’s a certain excitement that comes with going on a date for the first time and wondering, “Oh my gosh is he going to like me?! Will he think this outfit is pretty? What about my hair?”

   I’ve gotten so comfortable with reading his mind I never have to ask myself those questions anymore. I know he would find me sexy even in sweatpants. Which is great!

   But it takes away the excitement of *wondering.*

2. This happens to me just about everyday now. We’ve known each other since we were 13, committed for 20 years married for 15. We don’t really go on dates, but I see her around the house and I wonder how I got so lucky and I hope I’m even half as exciting to her as she is to me.

   As I type this she’s asleep on our pull out sofa bed with our two youngest. As I gaze at her I have to wonder to myself “I’m lucky to have her, but how the heck do I KEEP her?” Lol
