"Steve'd"

Have you ever heard when people get older they start looking like their spouses? I have and I believe, in some cases, it's true. I work with alot of elderly and some do resemble each other. Whether it's looks or just the way they act, I don't know.

A while back, my brother in law's said, I had been "steve'd." We were (and still are :) remodeling the house and I was thinking like my husband. We both agree, we don't need new things, we want to look presentable and clean. Anyway, I use to enjoy going out to eat, new/different foods. I use to enjoy shopping. Obviously life has changed and taken us down a different path. Last night Steve and I were chatting and I said, "I really would just rather stick to food I know. Why try new things when I like the old things?" And every time I shop I think things are sooo ridiculously expensive and I complain. ARGHHHHHH!!! Really, what is happening to me? He laughed and laughed!! He said, "amazing," next step is to get you to wear outdated clothes. (Steve use to wear painters pants when no one else did anymore :) Wow, I hope my girls stop me before that happens!

In all seriousness, my husband has taught me the gift of contentment. If we have patience, God will provide in time. I do have to remind him there is a difference between patience and procrastination. But what an amazing gift he has given me. This is a completely different place than I was 15 years ago. It's all good!

I guess being "Steve'd" isn't so bad.
