You know, in the movies, those completely unrealistic sappy movies, a loved one dies and then the living go about going through their personal items and cherishing all the notes, letters. Maybe it's more realistic than I know...I've never gone through someone really close to me passing (oh boy, this is starting to sound really morbid)...
Moving on to happy thoughts...Quinn and I have had all our cards to each other (from dating and marriage) sitting on our night stands since we were married (1 and 3/4 yrs ago), I like reading them from time to time...(insert big romantic sigh here)...
I've been thinking lately, we can't keep piling them onto our night stands, so I've wanted to get those little memory/photo boxes (just like you always see in the movies) to put our cards/pictures/notes into.
Finally, last night we were out shopping, I came across them and told Quinn about my idea and that I wanted 2 boxes, one from me to him and vice versa. This way, if one of us dies, we'd have all these memories (insert Quinn's eyeroll here) (I'm laughing as I write this, it was so funny in the store). Quinn says, "Yes, cause that's what I want, my wife dies, but at least I have a box of cards!! - extreme sarcasm! Followed by later at home "I think the life insurance we got is a little more important, I'd like to be able to quit my job and take some time off." He's so funny all the time (I wish I could bottle the humour too, haha).
I thought it was really funny and I did buy those boxes, maybe guys (or just my guy :) don't think about these things, but he'll appreciate that box if/when the time comes! (I already said I'm going first!)
Do you keep romantic memories? or did I just fall off the crazy truck? :)

I always tell Steven that he's going to go first.
I'm going first too. Ummmm.... I think I have some of the cards and stuff somewhere, I always have a hard time letting go of cards, especially when someone has written something in them.
On a slightly different note, I've been saying stuff to Jeff just in case I die, like make sure you check Jamin's backpack for homework if I'm suddenly not here, or make sure Ethan gets his 18 month vaccination. I'm afraid he won't know to do these things.
that's funny Ange, i think the guys would be more fine with the kids then we realize, if they actually HAD to do it. If not, I'm sure Grandma's would catch their misses :)
Tiffany - why would you want him to go first??!
Um, life insurance???!!!! lol
oh Tiffany... :)
Oh, I know he would be fine. He does a great job when I'm not around, there's just these things that I always do and he doesn't have to think of, and I just want to make sure they get done. I should make a list and leave it somewhere. And with the vaccinations, if you miss any they send a letter out eventually. I've gotten a couple, not because I missed any but because they didn't have their records updated correctly.
It would kind of suck to go first and miss out on the insurance money. (joking, sort of) :)
I'm going first.
And not because we don't have life insurance.
