perma-date

today brendan turned 27.

i've been waiting for this day for more than 6 years. back before we were dating, and friends would say to me "why don't you date brendan?" i would say "he's only 20! i'd date him if he was 27". for some reason, 27 didn't seem like a kid anymore. obviously i didn't wait, and i'm glad i didn't.

let me do the date-a-younger-man math:

i'm 35.

divided by 2 is 17.5

plus 7

equals 24.5

i am officially in the clear.

we've also been together for 6 years. having our first real date on october 12, 2009. i'm really happy with the life we've built together. he's a good man, a good partner, and i'm so grateful to live my life with him.

on a completely different note, i think we've turned a corner with eamon's potty training! he's starting to get it!
