As you all know from the title of our 30/40 World Tour, Mr. HalfFull is 10 years older than me. Some might think that 10 years is a big age difference, and assume that Mr. HalfFull’s 10 extra years of maturity might be overwhelming to his young, beautiful, perhaps naïve bride.
Do you remember what they say about assumptions?
My husband may be more mature in age, but in behavior he is not. This became readily apparent as we traveled around the world and he begged me to take his photo EVERY SINGLE TIME he saw a cannon. Please refer to the “maturity” evidence below…
Even on our layover in Santa Monica en route to Fiji, Mr. HalfFull found his pose.
Mr. HalfFull found another cannon to demonstrate his manliness in New Zealand.
New Caledonia provided Mr. HalfFull yet another opportunity to display his maturity.
This cannon outside our hotel in Sydney, Australia thwarted Mr. HalfFull with a fence!
But in the end, Australia did not emerge scot-free, as Mr. HalfFull found a suitable cannon in Canberra.
It looks like his cannons got progressively bigger. Along with his ego?
- Do you consider a 10 year age difference large?
- Are you surprised when the younger person in a couple is more mature?
- Is your husband as mature as mine?

“Maturity is the time of life when, if you had the time, you’d have the time of your life.”

That’s awesome that you were able to take the time AND have the time of your life! Sounds very half full. Perhaps I have something to learn. Although, I did indulge you with photographs.

Ahh, Charlie and I cracked up over this! Yes, my husband is as mature as yours.
I don’t think 10 yrs is a big difference, once people are adults. Charlie’s parents have a difference of almost twice that!!!

I’m glad I was able to bring a chuckle to the Parks! Good luck with your “mature” husband. =)

I could not stop laughing and I am still laughing, I even have witnesses. Maturity has nothing to do with age or having the time of your life.
He was young at heart
My daddy was 22 years older than my mom and at her honeymoon in Cairo, the camel rider asked my dad if his daughter was happy! He laughed

I’m glad you got so much laughter from a half empty post! Mr. HalfFull was also mistaken as my father in Fiji.

So age matters at times, but not maturity!

Maturity matters; it just doesn’t always correspond with age.
