young??

For the 2nd time this week, someone has looked at the wedding picture in my office and said, "Oh my gosh, you look so young! Well, you still look young, but in that picture you look YOUNG!!" I especially like how the "you still look young" is an afterthought...because they know no woman likes to hear she doesn't look young.

I've only been married for 5 years, which means I was 22 when I got married. Yes, I was very young, but I still consider myself young. I guess I look at those pictures and think I still look the same as I did then.

I'm trying not to read into it too much. But, knowing that I am staring 30 in the face makes me a little sad anyway, so hearing I don't look 22 anymore makes me sadder. But, I'm not 22. I'm 27. Ugh...

I know. I'm being dumb.

My husband, on the other hand looks like a baby with no facial hair. If he were to shave his beard now he'd get carded to buy cigarettes.
