Firefighter / paramedic until age 40 I retired when I met my DH at a church revival in Tennessee.

Age 40 on has been like a dream come true as my DH treats me like a princess. He told me, honey go find the house you want and I asked what is my limit? His reply *the sky*.
So now I tell everyone I am a Princess because that's what it feels like. I have to be careful to say *oh I like that* in front of him because he buys it on the spot or if I say NO he sneaks and buys it.
