The Elderly

Tonight I went on a date, blind date of sorts.  Amy basically arranged it with a girl from her ward that has come into the LBH a few times.  She is a really nice gal but I am feeling a bit old.  I am 12 years older then she is.  Wow.  I know that when you are older this is no big deal.  I however am only 38 and this feels a little weird. Should it?  Other than feeling old the date was good.  Had an enjoyable time.  I was a little out of my comfort zone not only for being elderly but also because I had to drive more of the conversation then I am used to.  I am usually the quiet one that listens a lot.  That was probably a healthy thing for me to do.  Anyway, good time.

So I went to pick up the kids from the folks house and found them watching their favorite Americas Funniest Home Videos.  They were enjoying it.  I get a kick out of watching their faces to see how they will react to certain things.  Jack really gets into it.  He gets very excited and laughs hysterically with this big grin on his face.   It is pretty funny and I end up finding a lot more joy out of watching my kids react. 

Of course when you are as old as I am it is the simple things like funny smiles on peoples faces that bring you lots of joy.
