Caribou Lou

I started thinking the other night about how old I really am, and how young I feel. It seems like yesterday that partying and staying out late with friends, away from my family, was my main focus. Everything has shifted, and it makes me feel like quite the adult. Now on any given night I'd very much prefer staying home with my husband and dog, watching a movie or just goofing off and being silly. Different things make me feel "whole" now, and I've found my niche. Don't get me wrong, I still like to go out with friends to dinner or a movie and hangout, but I prefer bringing my husband along with me, time with him is precious. I don't so much mind doing laundry and dishes and cleaning the bathroom anymore, because a dirty house now reflects on me as the wife, not my mother. I clip coupons and shop around for the best price because that's our hard-earned money we're spending, not someone else's. I'll say it: I'm domesticated. There's nothing wrong with that, I very much like who I've become, but it's just funny to think about how I've completely changed in just a few short years.

Even though it wasn't his "cup of tea", he put up with me when I was obnoxious, sweaty, and drunk. (This was like, 4 years ago if you were wondering.)

I'd like to report that we're MUCH happier now, and less sweaty. ;)
