17 again

I saw a great film the other day called '17 again' it was really good, the film is all about whether the character made the right choice when he was 17, his choice was made because of the love he felt for his girlfriend and i thought about how amazing love felt when i was 17.



It was great to feel that whirlwind of romance, being swept of your feet, the feeling of butterflies every second that i thought of him and the excitement of being together. I used to spend every day daydreaming of my boyfriend (who is now my husband) and wishing days away to be with him. We used to spend hours lying on his bed cuddling and just being together, things now that we have children we took for granted.



Fast forward 7years and the love is still there, the sparkle that we had is still there but is hidden beneath a pile of dirty washing and nappies, my butterflies in my tummy have been replaced by hunger pains from not eating properly and now I'm swept off my feet by 3toddlers. After the film i realised how much i love my husband and how important it is to keep our love strong, i realised how easy it is to let things slide when our life consists of work and children. when i think of 'me time' i think of 'us time' and how much i yearn to spend a few childless days together being surrounded by those feelings that were so strong back then. feelings of just me and him. feelings that turned into wanting to have children together.



this year we've been together 8years and married for 3years and i still feel the same if even more for him since then, so even through the fog of parenting and the rocky roads we have to travel he will always be here with me by my side and i will still love him like i did when i was 17 x x
