when i'm sixty-four

My favorite band has a song that has a line, "will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?" (beatles) Tonight the hubs and I attended his grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary dinner. As we were watching videos of their kids (the hubs' dad and his siblings), I was thinking that the time of life we are in right NOW is the time of life we were watching on video of them 50-60 years prior.

I don't know why I have been so nostolgic lately. I just know that the here-and-now are the sweet years that we will look back on. They are the penny-pinching, no sleep-getting, give-out-at-least-one-spanking-a-day, open-mouth-kisses-from-babies, kids-calling-you-awesome-for-just-cutting-up-watermelon kind of days. I could not be more in love with these days. On the flip side, these days are exhausting, but that is what makes them so great.. when you look back in a few years, you think how great it is that you made it through! :)

I cannot wait for the memories we have yet to make. I cannot wait till our wedding anniversary when our kids are their with their spouses and we can have such a fullness of heart at the thought that THESE are our desendents and MY, how God has been with us and shown himself through the years.

(also, I WILL still need him, and still feed him when I'm 64 :))
