Sunday

Sunday, Blue and I went to a movie while our hubbies played golf in the near 100 degree weather. I don't see the fascination. But, after the movie, Blue droppped me off and I laid down on the couch to rest. No TV, no lights, nothing. A few minutes later, the hubby came home all hot from his golf game. He sat on the love seat. Still, no TV, no lights, nothing. It was so nice. We just talked for about an hour. I love it when we can do that.

We got on the subject of these married friends of ours. The wife (and mother of a 2 1/2 year old) had been wanting a motorcycle. She took the safety course for it and was dying to go buy one. The husband, Mr. B, and the wife, Mrs. B, had been discussing it and had supposedly made an agreement. If the cost of the bike and insurance was no more than X amount per month, then she could get one. Well, Mrs. B went with her brother (who also owns a bike) on Saturday to "look" at bikes. She found one she wanted. She called Mr. B and told him what the monthly cost of just the bike would be. It was more than they had agreed on. He reminded her that they had an agreement. Next thing, she bought the bike. She bought the freaking bike with total disregard to the agreement between her and her husband, people. Then she put her brother on the phone to argue that she got a good deal. Umm, that is not her brother's agreement. I just don't understand how a marriage can work like that. It hasn't always been Mrs. B. Mr. B has gone out and bought new vehicles and then told Mrs. B about it after the fact. What!!! The split bills, and if it works for you, then great. But it doesn't seem they do anything together.

So, the hubby and I started talking about us. About how we have learned from each of our parents (mine, divorced. his, irresponsible) instead of following in their footsteps. We talked about how we have never fought over money (because we respect each other enough not to sink ourselves into bankruptcy), how we discuss things, and how confident we are that we have what it takes to make it forever together. My husband already has a motorcycle, but he really wants a new, bigger one. But, he told me he wouldn't even consider looking until I have been convinced and in agreeance with him on getting another one. I'm not there yet, by the way. That never worried me anyway. There is complete trust, bothways. Then, we went to Red Lobster and had a wonderful dinner. It was a good Sunday.

I am so lucky to have my husband. He is the rational to my irrational, the calm to my manic. I truly believe we have it. Now, if I could only learn to sleep with him........LOL.
