15 Ways the Hubby and I Are Different

I read Ree from the Pioneer Woman the other day and how she and her Marlboro Man were different. You can read her list here . It got me to pondering....hmmmm....what would my list look like....

1.  He doesn't mind his clothes on the floor.
I don't mind mine folded neatly in drawers and hanging on hangers in closets.

2.  He loves to hunt. . .animals
I love to hunt. . . for a good book.

3.  He loves to sit in a canoe for hours and fish.
I love to sit in a chair for hours and read a good book.

4.  He puts the toilet paper roll on backwards
I put it on forwards .

5.  He eats his cereal holding the spoon hand over handle.
I eat with my hand under the handle.

6.  He doesn't like to read out loud.
I do.

7.  He learns EVERYTHING about the camera and takes gorgeous pictures.
I just want to know where the on, off button is and have half way decent pictures.

8.  He likes his bacon chewy
I like mine crispy.

9.  He sneezes WAY, WAY loud.
I sneeze quietly and delicately.

10.  When asked to cut a slice of pizza in half, he cuts width way. (What's up with that?)
I cut it length ways.

11.  He walks through the grass barefoot. . .and gets grass-stained feet.
I walk through the grass with flip flops on. . .and have clean feet.

12.  He's a hamburger and fries kinda guy.
I'm more a pasta alfredo gal.

13.  He likes vanilla ice cream.
I like the other 30 flavors.

14. He listens to Ricky Nelson in the car.
I listen to Josh Groban

15. He has a great memory.
What were we talking about?

Oh yeah! We were counting. Here's a number

I like better. . .

31

the number of years we've been married. The differences don't make a bit of difference if you have the #1 reason for a good marriage. . . Christ at the head.  I'll be honest with you here though. . .some of the differences did annoy me years ago, maybe even a few years ago. But you know what? I have a good man and I figured out  those annoying little things don't matter. I've decided about that strand of three chords we have. . .I don't want to fray it with petty things. Speaking of petty. . .

Here is a tip for a good marriage. . .

 

 

 If your spouse puts the roll on wrong,

just turn it over yourself and remain quiet;)

 

ONE MORE THING:

 

I want to give a shout out to my husband. . .

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HON!

I'm so glad you decided to take those feet of yours and walk down the marriage isle with me and right into 31 years of marriage. . .so far.

I would not want to walk this life with anyone else.

I love sitting in the porch swing with you , you eating your vanilla ice cream, me with orange sherbert.

My flip flops entwined with your grass stained feet. . .

a match made in Heaven.

I love you. . .differences and all!
