"Like an old married couple..."

Alex and I had a great evening tonight, just like I hoped for. Great dinner, a couple beers and great music.





After dinner we went out to Rite-Aid to get some ice cream cones and on the way home there were groups of teenagers walking down the street, hanging out and Alex says, "Go home." Funny, I was thinking the same thing. We started talking about things we do, for example, liking to go to the movies for the first showing because it cheaper and quieter! We see teenagers at restaurants or while out shopping and we both think, 'greeeaaat...' with a roll of the eyes.Sometimes we think of ourselves still being right out of high school. We don't feel thirty, but moments around teens make us feel like an old married couple who just wants some peace and quiet! If you've ever watched the show Better With You on abc Wednesday nights you may be familiarized with the begining of the show. They put the three couples in a similar situation to show how each one at different points in their relationship react differently...Well there was one particular one that reminded us of ourselves, the second couple...

 We love to go out for a great dinner or to the movies, but we also love to stay home. To us, it is so much more fun to entertain at home, have a dinner party or go to friends' or family's homes. It's just funny how perspectives change. It wasn't that long ago nine o' clock would roll around and it was time to go out and now it means pj's and TV time! In my world, Saturday morning is the new Friday night!

You are so right! I agree 100%! Imagine how you'll feel when you get to be my age! :) Those Saturday mornings just get better and better.
