Friday the Man and I celebrated with his parents, there anniversary was Saturday! I believe its 28 years they have been married. I can not say enough good things about his parents. They really are a true couple in love. I don't see them argue. They always show each other compassion towards each other! I can say they have a love for each other that I aspire to be able to grow and continue with the Man!
Saturday, I got to spend time with my mom, since it was the FIRST day of duck season! I wanted to go hunting so bad, but since I am barely a month in to the interstem pace maker I can't go, with out risks still. So my mom and I went to lunch, and shopping! We took the furchild with us, and went to Petco!
Then the Man and I enjoyed a date night, and sit down dinner! This is rare for us, since we both work a ton, have the furchild, and with me being sick, it just plain doesn't happen much. We went and had a great dinner and enjoyed our night, then went home and watched our shows on the tv.
Sunday was such a relaxing day since I hadn't felt the greatest. I walked red and enjoyed the fall colors!
Okay, so Saturday night when at dinner, the Man and I overheard three waitress's who sat next to us, for drinks, after their shift. There topic of conversation was on marriage.
Mid conversation- about marriage and datting.
Girl one said: "I don't do anything if it doesn't benefit me. Do what you gotta do for you"
Girl two said: " I married him for the baby, and now the money, We just bought a house four months ago. I want out, I don't love him but I stay for the money."
Girl three said: "I married him because his dad was dying with cancer and I couldn't tell him no I didn't want to marry him, and I was pregnant. So I had the kid and now were divorced. "
This made both the man and I question what is wrong with the generation we are growing up with. Its not all about being vein, selfish, or just all about you. It's nice to do things for other's. It doesn't even have to be for your other half. Doing things for your neighbors, parents, or even random strangers, can make us grow, and appreciate things more.
It's a little less than a month away from Thanksgiving. My goal for everyone is to think outside the box, and do something nice for someone with out being asked or told. Make a difference, even if it is making cookies, or just opening a door!
