Weird question I know.  I mean you would assume I know how old my husband and my kids are, and I do…but I want them to expand on that.  Adults, women especially, seem to have this fear of getting older, and yet I wouldn’t go back to being 21 or 25 for anything!  I am almost 36, and couldn’t be happier.  It took me a long time to get to this point…to be happy with who I am, to believe that I deserve to be happy, to FIND happiness.  But I did!  I think loving yourself is important, and sometimes it isn’t easy.  When I was younger, I wasn’t happy, and I acted out for attention.  As I got older I learned that always being the center of attention isn’t always a good thing, especially when it’s because of the turmoil you created.  R really helped me see that.  He told me age is just a number, and whatever my past, he loved me NOW.  And he still does!  I didn’t have that at 21, and even at 25 when our relationship was new, I was still learning how to be comfortable in my own skin.

I am 36, and happy.  Happy with my life, happy to be R’s wife, Happy to have five great kids, and one pretty cool step-daughter.  I am learning to have a relationship with my mom, I didn’t always have that growing up, in fact I can count on one hand the number of really good ‘talks’ my mom and I had when I was a teenager, but I don’t feel like that anymore.  But now, at 36…I’m happy!  So what do you like about being 32, 15, 14, 10, 5 or 2?

Maybe one of the guys can answer for H and D!
