Texts with the Husband
Aaron and I met with words and pictures. The entire first part of our relationship was through emails and texts. We moved to phone calls, then a meeting, and the rest is history.
I love texting with him to send him goofy “I love you” messages or to remind him of little things that he needs to do.
And sometimes, those texts make me smile.
Right after I’d had Flash, Aaron took on the responsibility of grocery shopping for me. This was a really hard responsibility for me to give up (I’m weird and totally LOVE going to the grocery store). And, because I had the store organized, I gave him the list in the order he’d find the items in the store. Poor guy had to endure my long string of texts.
Then there’s the one right before I had Flash where I thanked him for protecting us and then told him that I really appreciated him NOT taking out the trash so I could get some exercise. I’m sure the neighbors thought it was fun watching my big, waddling self pulling our huge garbage can to the street.
Notice that he didn’t get any cake for that one.
Sometimes, we text even when we’re right here in the same house. I may be upstairs with Flash trying to get him to go to sleep while Aaron holds down the fort with the other two.
And as wonderful as Aaron is, he’s not perfect. He may be the Math Man, but he’s still a dude. He has that stereotypical problem of forgetting some majorly important dates — like, my birthday:
Nice attempt at saving that one, Aaron. I know you forgot.
Considering that he puts up with the vast majority (ok, every last one) of my dorky texts and frustrated woman complaints, I suppose I’ll give him a break this one time. After all, he does do the grocery shopping for me, right?
What a great way to look back on some of your fun exchanges!
Thanks. 🙂 There were other good ones, but they were a little more embarrassing.
Argh, Men! What can we do with them, right?!?! 🙂 At least yours responds to text messages.
This is true. He’s pretty good. 🙂
I think you’re so brave to give up grocery shopping to your husband. When my hubby goes to the store for me, a list of three things turns into $100 worth of exotic cheeses, snack cakes and chips.
Now, I’m not saying he doesn’t come home with cookie cereals or cheese doodles, but he’s still pretty good at sticking to the list (mostly, kind of). 🙂
You guys are way more interesting than me and my husband. Our text exchanges are literally one word at a time. “dinner?”….”k”….”thks”
We never would have made it to 2nd base if that had been the foundation of our relationship. Haha!
These are interesting? You just made my day!
