Summary
To celebrate our 20-year wedding anniversary, Bruce and I are answering your questions! We have a fun time reminiscing on our wedding, the early years of parenting and all the twists and turns our lives have taken since we joined them together.
We talk about parenting styles, balancing our roles and how I learned not to micromanage him when it came to caring for our boys.
As much as we enjoy looking back at our years before kids when we traveled a bunch, the fun concerts we went to, and friends we made, we wouldn’t change what we have now. Bruce makes a great point that if we stay focused on the past, we’ll miss the great things happening now.
Stick around to the end of the episode to find out which one of us said, “I love you” first and my personal philosophy on procrastination. We share our ideas for a perfect weekend (they aren’t the same) and how Bruce plans a typical date night.

| 0:23.7 | and I are getting behind the mic in honor of our 20 year wedding anniversary. |
| 0:29.6 | I talk about this a lot at work as well as you could ever think anything in the past was |
| 0:33.5 | the best it's ever going to be because people don't necessarily do that explicitly but |
| 0:37.1 | they do that implicitly. And it lives remembering a prior memory or a prior way things |
| 0:43.7 | were and this can in all aspects of life work home friendships right. And if the time is |
| 0:49.2 | spent trying to get back to something a prior moment, you're missing the current moment |
| 0:54.5 | in future amazing moments. And so I think that's really the kind of view we have to have |
| 0:58.8 | as always just saying like let's it look it's hard that if you always have the view that you know |
| 1:04.1 | more and more amazing things could happen and that the best is yet to come like it opens the |
| 1:09.3 | door towards appreciation and cherishing and the relationships and the time and it just a |
| 1:15.9 | whole great way. After 20 years of marriage and we're just getting started and this episode |
