| Daddy & Daughter Football Night |
Donald is a HUGE Gamecock fan. The one surefire way to show him that I love him and he is special to me is to fix "man food" on football night. Tonight is one such night. The Gamecocks kick off at 6pm (this was our morning conversation as he was getting ready for work) and he will be home at 7:30. I have planned homemade sloppy joes and chips for dinner. He is so excited about our plans and I could see it and hear it in his voice as he was getting ready for the day. It made my heart happy that I could do something special for him. Now I am not a football fan in any sense of the word, this is something special just for him. So I will snuggle up on the couch with my kindle amidst the yelling and cheering from my husband and enjoy my book. He loves just having me nearby, being able to share his teams gains and losses with me. From time to time I will drift from the room to check facebook or to prepare my grocery list, but I will return to hear an update or to just talk.
When we were first married I would bow out of these games. I wasn't interested and why should I take the time to sit through a game? The answer is simple, because they are important to my husband. It brings us closer and it shows him love. This one small act has brought us closer than I could have ever imagined.

Now I don't have to contend with the football games but I do have to contend with hunting shows. Sometimes I watch and ask questions during the commercials but other times, I am on the couch right beside him reading a book or on the computer across the room. I can still carry on a conversation or ask questions if something catches my attention. Love this time alone with him.
