engagement picture

This is our engagement picture taken over 18 years ago. (sorry it is so shabby looking after all it is pretty old by now)Wow....I look different. I was so pretty back then...wasn't I? My hubby still looks the same..maybe a little older but not much. He is now 38 years old. That is almost 40!!! He looks just as good as ever to me. I still am crazy about him even after all these years. I only have a few things that I wish could be different and it has to do with his job. He stays in a job where he doesn't make much money and where there doesn't seem to be any future. He has been there for over 15 years and you would think that his company would reward him for his loyalty...not so....He hasn't had a raise in I don't know how long. I try to encourage him by telling him that he deserves better than that. I also try to encourage him to pursue something that he loves...like cooking. He is so good and he likes it...I think that he would really be good at it... I also try to encourage him to go back to school. I think that I am going to go back. I don't want to be poor the rest of my life. I just wish that he would step up and realize that his place of employment is a dead end. As it is he could retire in about 15 years with the company if it paid him anything but now he would be starting over with another company...I just wish he would realize that he deserves so much better than what he is getting at that job. I love him so much and want the best for him and my family. As it is he works in the auto industry and right now the auto industry in Michigan is suffering...so he really needs to start looking in another area....heh...maybe we could go back to college together and take the same classes...(as long as it is not cooking)that way we could help each other out on homework and stuff and what better way to spend quality time together...I think that it would great fun!!
