Sparks - have you done a bucket list, like the movie? That was one thing that helped me GAL and it came up in convo with H. He was really surprised with some of the things I wanted to do. Plus, I've been crossing stuff off. Also, since we're all getting emotionally hammered, take the time to list out what you have done already (sky diving, visited X country, ate sushi, met Oprah?)! Give yourself credit for your own awesomeness.
Thanks, AMJ. I have a bucket list in the back of my head that has been brewing for sometime. I know my wife has hers as well. This is especially true before she got pregnant.
My wife and I have had a blast since we met, and we have enjoyed every second. I can honestly say that I have opened her eyes to more than she has ever seen. Sometimes I proceed with caution, because some of the experiences I found early as a wild child, she found late as a wild adult. For example, I smoked a ton of pot in high school. She did after we began dating and through our marriage. Just different time periods but no judgements on my side. Times have still been exciting, though. Whether it was my proposal on the top of the Rockefeller Center in NYC to swimming with the sharks in Tahiti during our honeymoon and 30th birthday (yes, we were born on the same day).
I will say that my wife becoming pregnant for the first really halted this excitement in our lives. All of a sudden, she couldn't sky dive for the first time. We didn't have enough money to really travel the ends of the earth. I thought I did well by planning a "baby moon" to Jamaica when she was seven months pregnant. I thought we had a great time. I would later find through email that she was enjoying the vacation but missing and emailing the OW the entire trip.
I need to write down my bucket list to paper and ask my wife to write out hers. I would then love to ask her at some point when we can attack them together.
