Man Crush Monday
Several of the bloggers I follow have posted interviews with their husbands over the past few months so I decided I would play along. Since we are trying to make date night a regular habit, this was a fun activity to get us talking. Keith was a good sport and played along even though I do think he was a tad bit nervous!
Keith: Queen? (I giggle)
Me: Are you sure?
Keith: Yeah, (smiling) I think so.
Keith: No baby….I’d have to know where to find it first
interviews…you up for that?
Keith grins and doesn’t have to answer because he knows there is only one answer.
Keith: The Chicken (with confidence)….is that not right? Well let’s just go with Northgate to be safe.
Me: Sadly I’m not positive either but Northgate would definitely be it I just can’t remember which bar (go figure).
Keith: I thought you were pretty baby.
This man knows my love language.
pre-littles?
Keith: I guess it would have to be when we went to Sheffield.
Me: Me too!! I really felt like that was a real turning point for us…..nothing says love like being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no running water for 4 nights.
Seriously y’all….this man took me to a desolate part of Texas I didn’t even know existed and there was no running water and we stayed there for 4 nights!! Nothing helps your relationship bond more than splitting the wet wipes each night for your bath!
Keith: You’re a doer
Me: Really? You like that? (I’m seriously thinking this is not true!!)
Keith: Yeah
Keith: Coming home to you everyday.
Me: Awww….baby that is so sweet!
Ironically this man is snoring so loud next to me right now….oh my goodness I don’t even know how he can sleep through that!
He dips his head and grins his big shy grin and I melt….yep…that’s it right there.
When I first laid my eyes on this man he was walking through the front door of a bar and when our eyes met he dipped his head just a little and smiled his big dimpled smile and I seriously just melted right there. Did I mention the cowboy hat and starched jeans??
Keith: I don’t know. Some of the stuff lately has been really good. Maybe the corned beef .
Me: Really? All the stuff I make and that would be it?
Keith: It makes really great breakfast tacos. Like, I think I could sell them they are so good.
A side note y’all…I am obviously trying too hard most days because I literally throw a corned beef brisket covered in water in the crockpot all day and this is what my husband has chosen for his favorite meal. Good gracious I’ve been overachieving!
Keith: Grilling is my favorite. I know you think I like making fried stuff but that is just what I know. I really like being outside and grilling up dinner.
without the kids?
Keith: (This question gets him talking with excitement!) Actually I would love to fly somewhere to take you fishing like Alaska or Costa Rica or something.
Me: Yeah that would be fun. (As long as I am not puking over the side of the boat!!)
Me: What do you enjoy most about being a dad?
Keith: They just love you no matter what you do.
He may or may not be in for a rude awakening….speaking from experience of already going through the teenage years with the Bigs.
Keith: No not really
Me: Do you think the fact that you were little when your parents divorced help you understand what they were dealing with?
Keith: Maybe. I mean Jordan is just easy and loves everyone and accepted me. Riley and I are a whole lot more alike than he realizes in a lot of ways. It was just going to take time but once he saw his dad and I get along I think it helped.
Keith: Making sure you are happy.
And that my friends is how he has kept me around….he knows how to say the right thing at the right time!
Hop on over here to see where I might be linking up today!
Oh my goodness! I literally felt like I had scooted up a chair and was sitting at your table! I could just hear him calling you "baby" in that sweet way he does! Too sweet! I LOVED this! Good job!
This is so cute!!! Thanks for sharing!
This was such a sweet post! I have never seen a husband interview before on a blog. I love the idea! 🙂
I have seen several recently and somehow found one when looking around that was a link up last summer…I had so much fun reading them and knew I had to do it. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Being that my husband and I have been together for almost 17 yrs and married for a little over 13, and both second marriages, I think what I love most about my husband is how much he loves me and my 2 daughters. He is amazing with them and has loved them since they were 9 and 5. He is the best stepdad! My girls ADORE him and we are all so blessed. Now that my girls are grown and one is on her own and the other away at college, we get to enjoy each night as if it were a Date Night. Its awesome! Just this afternoon he texted that he wants to sit in the spa tonight and just chat before going to bed. I love him <3
I think that's why it's so important to remain connected….someday it will just be the two of us and I want to still be having fun! My Bigs were 8 and 11 when Keith and I got married and I'm so thankful they spent most of their time in my house seeing me in a committed marriage where there was some tough times but always love!
Girl I love this. I'm gonna see if my hubby would play along and do this with me! Fabulous!!!!!
Thanks! It was so fun!
This was SO fun!! You guys are so sweet together! 🙂
This was such a fun read! This has to go on my list to do someday!
