Things We Do For Love

Every year our church has a "Things We Do For Love" Night. All the couples in the church are invited. We usually have a dinner and then play the "Not-so Newly-Wed Game". This is the highlight of the night and everyone loves to come see how the couples answer questions about each other.

This year our Pastor's wife wanted to do something different. She had all the women right a poem to their husbands and all the men were to sing a song to their wives. Several of the men sang really sweet songs to their wives. A few I remember are "Valentine", "Lady" and there was a country tune in there as well. Almost all the men teared up! I couldn't believe it! They were so sweet.

Now I am not the mushy gushy type usually. I should say that I like getting mushy cards and such, it's just that I am not very good at expressing myself without a LOT of humor! So when it came time for Sugarbritches and I to come forward I was very nervous! I had a short poem about how I liked looking at his rear and how he made my heart say "Oh Boy" but nothing too lovey dovey. I really wasn't expecting SB to even participate....but Bless his heart!


My hubby....quite, never draw attention to himself hubby....got the microphone and after saying repeatedly "I can't believe I am doing this"
sang a song in front of everyone! He picked Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"!! If you know me you know I LOVE Rod Stewart!!


It was such a huge gesture on his part! I was so proud! And I kinda felt bad too.....here he was really putting himself out there and all I could muster up was a few lines about his booty! *LOL*

Another thing that made that song so special was he and I have been going through a little bit of a rough patch lately. I have just been feeling very unappreciated and unloved. And he says it's not true but I have been needing more than words you know?

When he finished singing and we sat down I told him he scored BIG brownie points! He said "Good! Does this mean you know I love you now?" I do know it.....I just need to be reminded every once in awhile.
