Eleven Oh Five

RJ fell asleep watching TV and now he is out like a light. 

I'm not even the least bit tired. 

So what am I going to do for the next hour or so...

I've already cleaned.

I made cookies for tomorrow's dinner. 

I have looked at every nook and cranny of Facebook. 

...

I could work out. But that would probably wake RJ up. 

I could bath the dog. 

I could read a book that I've been meaning to finish. 

 ...

But instead I'm here. Blogging away. Bored. 

Not being the least bit productive. 

Today had me thinking of memories. Not purposely, I have categorized my life as before I got married and now that I am married. 

I have had a hard time trying to mesh the two. For some reason at first I felt like all those other memories were gone and that I wouldn't be able to do the things I did before I was married. Like now I have to be an adult and I can't have any fun. 

Today I was sitting on the porch and soaking in the sun and realized that I can have both. 

I associate memories with smells. 

And today smelled like Spring and riding my bike and jumping on the trampoline. All of the things that I did when I was younger. 

It felt good to remember those things and feel content. 

But I realized even more that I am making new memories now. Ones that are going to last a lifetime and the best part is that I have someone great to share them with. When I can't remember the exact details in 30 years, RJ will remember what I don't. And it's okay to have fun and create new memories that I will love just as much as the ones that I have of when I was a kid.
Maybe it's because I'm still a 'newlywed' but I feel so lucky to have RJ and to me it doesn't feel like my feelings will wear out with time. 

I guess we'll see. :]

How do you go from this...

to this...

I guess it's just the way it goes. :]
