Gone are the days...

of breaking curfew and first kiss butterflies.

of trying on 8 different outfits for that important date.

of staying up until ridiculous hours and sleeping in until even more ridiculous hours.  

of cleaning the whole apartment in 5 minutes.

of spontaneous dates with the hubby.

of daily showers.

of doing hobbies, desires, and whims on MY timetable.

of buying cute boots instead of a jumbo pack of diapers.

of planning my future.

of peace, quiet and solitude.

And I couldn’t be happier.

I love it.  Because,

These are the days...

of knowing these snuggles will last for eternity.

of having a warm body in bed on cold winter nights.

of sticky hugs and slobbery kisses.

of wearing a pool of spit-up as an accessory.

of laughing until our tummies hurt... and then even more.

of silly songs and tickle fights.

of using fort building and coloring with crayons as enjoyable evening entertainment.

of picket fences.

of dreaming our future together.

Who wants solitude, anyway?
