- I don't text really at all, and don't plan to. Many people have long conversations through texts. Justin and I think this is absurd! A quick message here and there is fine, but come on people... I've seen so many do it while they are driving!! AH! scary!
- We don't have phones that can surf the internet or update our facebook/twitter status with. We just use our phones to CALL people. ha ha!
- I'm very unnerved about this weekend, being 4th of July and we don't live in the city limits and our neighbors have told us it is like World War 3 in our neighborhood this weekend. I would love to go get a hotel somewhere, people are going to be up ALL night popping fireworks and how in the world is Josiah going to stay asleep?!
- Justin falls asleep on the couch about 8:30... I call it his pre-bedtime nap.
- We don't have cable, Tivo, or anything fancy like that. We have rabbit ears on our TV that have foil on the ends (lovely huh?!), and we watch PBS like all of the time because we have 3 different PBS channels... we're rockin'! :)
- People who have loud parties until 2 a.m. with lots of drunk people hollering and screaming right near my baby's window does not make me a very happy momma. (I am praying for these neighbors of mine!)
- Cars with no mufflers or extremely loud ones --- WHY?
- We apply sunscreen every 2 hours when we're outside. PALE is the new TAN!
- Justin can't sleep past 6 - 6:30 most mornings (I feel sad for him, I could still sleep 12 hours straight every night if I had the opportunity)
- DC Talk's Jesus Freak song is about as rap as it gets for me. (unbelievably I can still sing that whole song word for word!) And maybe some of the new TobyMac stuff, but that's about it...no rap music in this house... cause we're old and our groove thing is gone.
- Justin gets a vocabulary lesson from the teenagers every day when he drives the bus... he didn't know so many new words and phrases existed.
- When we go to rent a movie we don't know what any of the new releases are.
- It's no longer fun to stay up late, eat lots of greasy junk food, not brush my teeth, drive too fast, spend money on myself, go to a tanning bed...and the list could go on.
- It is now fun to roll around on the floor with Josiah while he climbs all over us, pretend I'm a tiger and roar as I chase Josiah around the house, to eat vegetables, work in the yard, to listen to a story of jibberish that I don't understand, read the same Go Dogs Go book 50 times in a day, have a family picnic in the park, and snuggle on the couch with my husband and fall asleep at 8:30 while watching PBS.
Life is good even though we are getting 'older'. :)
We are alike in many ways!! My friends have always refered to me as the grandma of the group!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the going to bed early, having a family oriented vehicle, and making sure we are eating the right things for our future health.
ReplyDeleteI miss you all dearly. Happy Belated Birthday Justin. All the pics are beautiful. Is Josiah ready for potty training yet? You might think about that with having two little ones is diapers is hard and expensive.

Like I said, you are not really getting old until you start forgetting. Now, it is not a serious thing until you forget what this thing or that whatchamacallit is used for.
ReplyDeleteYou two are still very young.
Love you,
Kathleen
