Lovin' Life: Bananas For My Husband

One of the reasons why I love spending time with my husband is because he always makes me laugh.  He doesn't even really have to try.  He's just so cute and funny.  I was reminded of how much I love this aspect of him just the other day.

He came home from work and was emptying his backpack of all the odds and ends that had collected in the bottom of the bag.  All of the sudden he pulls out the most black and shriveled banana that I have ever seen.

With the most serious and inquisitive expression, he looks at the banana.  Then he looks at me and says totally serious: "So I take it this banana isn't good anymore."  You probably had to be there and actually hear him say it to find the humor but I busted out laughing so hard and the stress of the day seemed to melt away.  I hadn't purchased bananas at the grocery store for over a month and I wasn't sure how he'd gone so long with this rotting piece of fruit in his bag.

I realized later that these goofy moments are so precious.  Laughing together just makes life so much more enjoyable.  We both seem to go a million miles an hour most weeks and the fact that we can take a few minutes to laugh over a banana brings so much happiness to my soul.

So as you go on today, find and treasure those simple moments that bond you together with the one you've chosen to be your forever friend.  Take time to laugh and love.  Even if it's over a rotten banana.
