Old, Married, and Loving it!

Oh, how I love to read! The problem is Cody hates that I love to read before bed.  The difference between Cody and I is that he likes to turn of the lights, crawl into bed and go to sleep. I on the other hand, like to crawl into bed, turn on my bedside lamp and dive into a good book.  In my opinion, its a great way to end the day and slowly shut down my mind before drifting into an 8 hour coma. I have tried getting Cody to read in the past.  We even went to the bookstore together and picked out a couple books for him which he never read.  Between his long work hours and studying for his PE exam, he has had no interest in recreational reading (which I can't really blame him) until recently. One night we crawled into bed together and he pulled out his book "Where Men Win Glory" by Jon Krakauer.  I am not sure where his sudden urge to read came from. After all, this book had been sitting in his nightstand untouched for over a year. Maybe he figured my lamp was going to keep him awake anyways, he might as well read too! To my surprise, he found this book completely intriguing.  Not only has he been giving me updates on the storyline of his book during dinnertime conversation and evening walks but he even out read me last night! I am absolutely loving our new nighttime routine of reading together at night like the old married couple we are :o)
