Lifes Like That

Last Friday was my birthday. And although I don’t feel any older, when I look back at pictures even five years ago, I can see that I am starting to look older. I have more gray hair then I used to (too much for a 40 year old) and a lot more wrinkles that weren’t there before. But these two problems can be taken care of quite nicely. For the gray hairs, a box of dye does it justice and for the wrinkles, a little jar of top wrinkle cream will help to diminish them. Now don’t get me wrong, I really don’t mind growing older, it’s just some days I’m looking 50 not 40. But all in all I think I’m doing pretty darn good for a 40 year old mother who has had three kids. I just need a little help along the way to only look 40.

On Friday my husband celebrated his 10 year anniversary at his job.  Wow, I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years already.  I can remember the day he went for the interview and how nervous he was.  Well since he’s been there for so long, I’m assuming he has gotten over his nervousness. lol

His boss was pretty great to him on Friday.  They gave him a beautiful gold diamond studded pin for his 10 years of service.  The entire shop took him out to dinner to celebrate this day and his boss gave a very moving speech to him in front of the guys.  Although he has had some problems over the years, he does seem to be content so I guess we can probably expect another 10 years to go by.  And if it goes as quickly as the last 10 it won’t be anytime at  all before he hits the 20 year mark.

Oh…I almost forgot to mention the best part.  He now gets four weeks vacation during the summer.  So that means an extra week of camping for us!
