Stream of Consciousness – week 13 #SOCSaturday #freewriting #blogging

Welcome back to another week of Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This is the time where I spend 5 minutes free writing. I want this to go up on Saturdays, so I’m generally writing this on Friday. Sometimes super early Saturday. Or Sunday, if that’s easier for you.

The rules….

1. Set a timer for five minutes. (Or keep tabs with your computer’s clock.)

2. Write freely. Any topic. Whatever is on your mind. It doesn’t even have to be completely cohesive.

3. Tag on social media with #SOCSaturday or #SOCSunday and link up below. You have all day Saturday and Sunday to join the link up. It closes Monday morning.

4. Click around and give some comment/blog love.

I spent most of Friday in Knoxville with the sweetest couple. They’re on a board that I work with, and I wanted to meet them in person (mainly so I could get to know them a bit better, and so they could learn more about me. There’s only so much you can learn about a person over the phone or through a board meeting, you know?)

This couple has known each other since the late 1940s when they were students at the school I work at. They’ve been married since 1955. And they are the cutest. I loved being around them and talking to them about their sons and grandchildren.

They asked me how I met my husband and didn’t seem to mind that I said I met him online. I met him 10 years ago this past Thursday. We were just kids, it seems.

And 10 years is definitely my longest relationship ever. (We’ve been married almost 7 years.) When I mentioned to my husband on Thursday that it was the anniversary of our first date, he questioned whether it was a real anniversary. I think he was worried that he had forgotten an important date. (Really, I just want him to keep up with our wedding anniversary.) I can’t get mad at him for remember that date – as long as he doesn’t remember actual date we went on. That’s a whole post in itself – it lasted over 7 hours!

I don’t think many couples meet by chance these days. More and more of my friends are meeting significant others online. 10 years ago it was still a little strange, but now it’s so common. It makes me wonder how my son will meet his significant other one day. Online? During a class in college? At a coffeeshop? Who knows….

(How did you meet your significant other? And if you aren’t in a relationship right now, what has been your longest relationship?)

    I met my husband when we worked together at a middle school ten years ago. It seems like we were just kids too. Ten years and two kids sure will mature a gal. The couple you talked about sounds amazing.
