It was a chili cook off and we went to mingle with people, make some new friends, and eat some delicious chili.
Turns out there really wasn’t that much delicious chili there. There were 6 pots, and only 1 of those pots was actually delicious.
But we sure did have a fun time cracking up as one of us would cough unceasingly after we tried one pot that had so much spice in it we couldn’t breathe.
And then another pot that was so sweet it could’ve been candy.
And then one more pot that was so gross I couldn’t even swallow the bite.
In the meantime, there were a few people sitting around us, apparently watching us.
One guy asked: “How long have you guys been married?”
I replied: “3 years, but we’ve been together for 7 years.”
He said: “Oh. Wow. I really thought you guys were newlyweds. Wow. You really act like newlyweds.”
And it really got me thinking.
Brandon and I never really focus on the fact that we still act like newlyweds…but we do.
We are all lovey and goofy with each other.
We make each other laugh, and smile, and make each other genuinely happy.
And it just reminded me that I really do plan on acting like this with him the rest of my life.
I want to be 80 and still having people thinking we act like newlyweds.
Why?
Because I love my husband.
I will always love my husband.
He will always be the man who was created just for me, and I will always be grateful to God for that perfect gift.
And no, that is not to say that we are perfect. We have our annoyances with one another just like any other couple.
But mostly?
We just have fun; enjoy being married; and love each other with an everlasting love.
So Brandon, I love you. Will you be my newlywed husband for forever????:):):)
