unconventional

Each year, right around the beginning of January, my husband spaces out. You know how when you talk to somebody…and you know they aren’t listening? Like maybe they’re day dreaming? Well, during baseball season he is about 10 times worse than the average husband. I get frustrated with it occasionally, but I’ve also learned to deal with it in most aspects. One really really great thing about it though, is that each year, when he snaps out if his season funk, we go through this honeymoon phase. Every year, in June & July, we walk around holding hands, touching constantly, both of us so giddy to be together again. I love it!! After he misses Valentine’s Day & Mother’s Day and anything important in between, he makes up for it every year. But this year is even more special. He asked me yesterday to go on a trip with him. Just the two of us. No kids. No cell phones. For three whole days. I can handle spaced out during baseball season if I get honeymoon in the summer =)!!! And just like I did 14 years ago, I have butterflies in my belly!
