And we look so normal.
Twenty-five years seemed like an eternity when you were five years old.
I’ve been married to my husband 24.6 years. Twenty-four point six years doesn’t seem that long.
Linking up with Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop this week and prompt number 1.) List 6 random facts about you and your husband.
My husband.
6. He’s a counter. He compulsively counts things. Window panes, stairway spindles, spiderwebs on a church ceiling. He can tell you how many in all.
5. He dated the Dakotas. He went out with Miss Teen South Dakota and Miss North Dakota USA. And an assortment of Dairy and Beef Princesses.
4. He’s really, really funny. Much funnier than me. In fact that’s the only reason I went out with him when he asked me over and over and over again. I was so miserable in law school and he made me laugh and forget the HELL we were in.
3. He was really fast. Like in speedy. (at one time.)
2. We inherited a gas grill recently. He had never grilled a hamburger in our 24.6 years of marriage before this week. I did all the grilling on our little charcoal Weber.
1. He’s a very. very picky eater. I NEVER tell him what I put into anything. When we first got married he would not eat anything that he couldn’t readily identify every ingredient.
I’ve served him three casseroles in 24.60 years of marriage. And that was in the first was in three months after our wedding. I just gave up after that.
Me.
6. I’m an incredibly unstructured person from a family of analytical braniacs. I like order. I’m just utterly incapable of creating such.
5. I’m a horrible singer. Children sob at their parties if I join in with “Happy Birthday.”
4. I go orbital if I smell suntan lotion. And if I smell it while putting it on in the sun at the beach — well — let’s just say it’s my catnip.
3. I fry an awesome chicken.
2. I hate to ride in a car with the windows up. I get all stale air claustrophobic. The only thing that changes this is if I am driving somewhere I have to look presentable in the middle of summer. Which is not often. Like NEVER.
1. I’m the most extroverted hermit you’ll ever meet.
What about you? What are some random facts about your partner.
