161. Oh No… Am I Officially Old?

At what point do you officially realize you’re getting old? Is it when a 7:00 movie suddenly feels way too late? When you start saying, “They don’t make music like they used to”? Or when you’re out on a walk and hear a bird and immediately tell your husband to pull out his bird identification app?In this  episode I share all the signs that my husband and I may have officially entered our “old” era.From Jake's unexpected love of birds, history biographies, nonfiction, and researching vacuums our their collection of vitamins and  inability to commit to a movie that ends after 9:30, getting older is starting to look a lot different than we expected.Katie also shares the hilarious results of our Spotify ages. But despite the bird apps, early bedtimes, vacuum research, vitamins, and throwback playlists, there’s something really great about this stage of life. Because even though we might be getting older, we can still feel young and maybe getting older just means becoming more comfortable enjoying exactly what we enjoy.In this episode, we talk about: The moment Katie realized she and Jake might officially be old  How Jake unexpectedly became a bird person  Why a 7:00 movie now feels dangerously late  Saying “They don’t make music like they used to” and realizing the music from high school is almost 30 years old  Jake's surprising obsession with researching vacuums  The growing collection of vitamins in their house  Jake's Spotify age being in his 60s thanks to history, biographies, and nonfiction  Why Katie’s Spotify age was around 16 because her boys hijacked her account  Why getting older doesn’t necessarily mean feeling old  Finding the humor and joy in this stage of marriage and life Question for you: What was the moment you realized you were officially getting old?
