Thanks for stopping by. You know, I think maybe one of the reasons why an HEA in real life is different from the fantasy HEA in books is because, well, we just like the fantasy. To be honest, I envy your relationship with your hubby and that would truly be an HEA for me. :) I'm likely too old by now to find mine but guess what...maybe my HEA is simply with me! I love my life, my family, and who I am. I'm content and happy...ever after! <BR/><BR/>maddieMaddie Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591180926700480845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873561.post-8895876370094932472008-12-02T10:50:00.000-05:002008-12-02T10:50:00.000-05:00Hey Maddie, <BR/><BR/>Great post. Congratulations to you for gaining a daughter! <BR/><BR/>My HEA is one that is as real-life as you can get so I can’t complain. I’ve been married to the same lucky (*wink*wink*) man for nearly two decades (okay, so it’s 18 years) and we have two fantastic teenagers. Seriously, they’re pretty good kids so I count my blessings.<BR/><BR/>Now, here’s the good part—our HEA is not about romance at all. (Stress the ‘at all’ part with a dropped jaw).We raise our children, go to ballgames, budget, bitch, wash dishes, fold clothes, I go to bed at four in the morning, he goes to bed at nine, do a little yard work, clean house, I write, he works, and this is life as we know it—lol. It’s the modern day version of HEA so I think in real life, happily ever after is highly overrated everywhere ‘except’ in romance books. It’s the only reason I write it because we sure don’t know a lot of people in our neck of the woods living it! :) <BR/><BR/>Your blog is wonderful and I always enjoy your books. This blog post is sure to gain a lot of smiles. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DestinyDestiny Blainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03392943129642341236noreply@blogger.com
