You Know You're Married Awhile When.......

.....your husband offers you his socks so you can try on a pair of running shoes. :)

As I laced up my shoes this morning I had a flash back to the first time I attempted to try on these shoes. My husband and I were in the PX and I was putting my bare foot in the shoe. I hate wearing socks. I don't always wear them when I wear running shoes. As I slipped my foot in the shoe a lady that worked there told me that I had to wear socks and she couldn't allow me to try on the shoe. She then stood there until I put it back in the box and on the shelf. Without missing a beat my husband looks and me and says "I will take my sock off and you can use it to try on shoes."



At the time I just shrugged off his offer. Wearing my husband's sock was not the first thought that came to mind. I first thought where are the socks in this place so I can purchase a pair to try on shoes.

I think Ted just wanted to be done shoe shopping. Picking running shoes for me is the hardest. I can have any other type of shoe decided on in a few minutes. I will wear running shoes around the shoe department for a half hour before I decide if they fit like I want. Maybe in his mind he was trying to speed up the process OR maybe he didn't see a need to buy a pair of socks I won't wear anyway.

When I thought about that memory in the PX I had to laugh. I didn't think twice about that day when it happened. The Lord knew I needed a laugh today and brought that memory to mind for me.
