So, today is my 13th wedding anniversary. Ah....I so remember the day. What fun. But I realized something this morning as Hubby and I sat together on the loveseat in the kitchen, I sipping my morning java (hair a wild mess, wearing an old nightgown and thick socks, yesterday's mascara smudged underneath my eyes), he changing the channels every 5 seconds while waiting for our daughter to get ready for school. (Okay...sidebar...WHAT is the DEAL with the CHANGING of the CHANNELS, fellas? DANG! Could you leave it on one channel long enough for the person on there to get out a complete sentence? But I digress...that's a story for another day.)
Back to the thing that I realized. I remember, being a young bride and full of self-doubt and all, that sometimes my hubby would stop the TV on, you know, some kind of Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo shoot with, let's face, completely hot bikini-clad girls on it, and I would kind of get the vibe that he was thinking, "Why isn't my wife like THAT chick?" Well...my how times have changed. This morning I got that VERY same vibe from him....but this time he was watching that saintly, soft-spoken, hair-always-just-so, house-always-clean, kids-never-fighting, I-just-ADORE-my-husband-ALL-the-time, I-wouldn't-say-"poop"-if-I-had-a-mouthful-of-it, baby-factory Duggar chick on "Eighteen Kids and Counting".
