Don't You Know Who I Am?

Maybe it's common for people who have been married for 21 years. I don't know. My husband will never read this. He knows I have a blog but he just doesn't have time to sit and read it, but IF he did, I'd love to ask:

1. What was my Facebook status this morning?
2. What is my favorite hymn?
3. What is my favorite color?
4. Other than the day my Mom passed away, what was the date of the worst day of my life?
5. What is my bra size?
6. What is my favorite brand of deodorant?
7. What is my favorite restaurant?
8. What color eye shadow do I wear?
9. What color are my nails painted right now?
10. Did I mop the kitchen today?

I guess the point is, he would know none of those answers.

And I would tell him.. You don't update your facebook status unless something is really important to you. You got two new Facebook friends today and you have $752,649 in Texas Hold 'Em chips. You fluctuate between $600,000 to $1Million in poker chips, and if you got down to $500,000 you'd spend hours trying to build up your account again. You like the hymn "Put your Shoulder to the Wheel" but you were moved by "Lord I Would Follow Thee" when Fran taught it to us in Primary. You've held to saying that orange is your favorite color, but the truth is you really don't care that much about any color. You have more important things to think about than what color you like. You like white T-shirts, blue hats and black hoodies but you'll wear anything. The worst day of your life was the day your Uncle Rick died, although there were lots of days that pretty much sucked both before and after that one. Your jeans fluctuate between 2 different sizes, so we keep some of each size in jeans for you.
You simply don't have a favorite brand of deodorant. You buy whatever is cheapest and only because it's necessary to have it. You really don't care. I buy you "sport" scents because I like them, but you really coudn't care less. Sizzler is your favorite restaurant. I know you think it's mine, but the reason we always go there is really because it's your favorite. When your back is hurting, you get a knot of tension at the base of your spine on the right hand side. It will hurt for atleast a week, sometimes as much as a few weeks, but it eventually gets feeling better only to happen again a few times a year. You don't want to go to the doctor for anything, so if you do go , I know you're really hurting. You're most proud of the fact that you work hard and you most enjoy peace and quiet here at home. You don't like big noisy family gatherings and you would prefer to simply stay home all weekend unless you have tickets to a game. You'll go to movies but you'd rather not. You don't cry, but Ashli has the power to make it happen. You like your hair short and you hate to wear cologne. You prefer to shave in the shower, not at the bathroom sink. You like all kinds of music, depending on the mood you're in that day, even the stations the kids listen to. You enjoy touching base with your friends as often as possible, but preferrably through text and not a phone call. You hate to talk on the phone. You would rather have a bag of chips than a bag of licorice. You love the New York Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys and the Utah Jazz. You love vacationing in New York, but think it's time to go somewhere else. You regret that you've never been to Mexico and hope that it's still in the cards for you someday. You love your kids, your nieces and nephews, and every baby you see in church or that our friends are blessed enough to have. You'd like to buy a radio station someday.

These are some things I know after 21 years of marriage. Your status is change your profile to you and your significent other. You like the Cracker Barrel. No you didn't mop the kitchen today. Whatever your favorite deodorant, mascara color, or nail polish color is, all you have to do is ask me and I'll go to the store and get it for you. If you have to go to Eaureka to a meeting I'll go with you and sit through it so you don't have to go alone. If I've been looking forward to watching a ballgame and you ask if we can go to a movie, I don't say a thing about the game I'll just go to the movie with you. I don't like driving out to Tooele county for cake and ice cream and noisy gatherings but I hardly ever miss one unless I'm working. You love Switzer licorice and I look constantly in case I go into a store that has some. If I have to run an errand during work I usually call to see if you want to go. You love Maverik drinks. You want to be an EMS instructor. If someone does something to you that hurts you, I'm mad at them forever and want to beat the hell out of them. Maybe your husband isn't as bad and selfish as you think huh.

Tina~ we all have bad days when we are feelling neglected after we have been married for more then 20 years. I see your Kirt is a sweet, humble, and considerate husband and sometimes we just need a kind reminder of all the sweet things that our husbands do for us and our families. I know you know this. You are blessed to be married to a wonderful man that is good to his core. He does know you and notice all the little things you do and that make you the wonderful mother and wife that you are!
