Except it hit us during our mid 20s anniversary---the shock. Now we are so comfortable with each other's edges. I think it's important to have common goals once you hit midlife and retirement age. Our goal is to get the last kid OUT of the house and hit the road in a new RV!!menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-46180912320435479442016-09-21T02:13:08.539+08:002016-09-21T02:13:08.539+08:00Leanne, Loved this and as someone who just celebr...Leanne, Loved this and as someone who just celebrated her 36th anniversary, can relate. I'm convinced kids are like tsunamis in a marriage. They come along, turn everything upside down, and nothing is the same after. When they move out, you and your husband have a whole different marriage then when you started... which can be a good thing. But it also takes adjusting. Thanks for this great reminder.Laurie Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065425057896134350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-77044867118085729432016-09-20T18:31:35.960+08:002016-09-20T18:31:35.960+08:00It's all of those things isn't it Sheryl? ...It's all of those things isn't it Sheryl?
