My husband is great but........

Over the last several weeks I have saw the "Spouse Challenge" photos flooding my news feed. Don't get me wrong friends, I truly enjoy seeing the pictures of you all in love - I really do! I especially get a kick out of some of the "really old" wedding pictures! I fully understand what the movement is about - sharing the love and trying to take the negativity out of the Facebook world, great idea! I'm all for it and you people keep posting away as your little hearts desire. Here's why I am not doing it:

If I am telling my husband I love him, I will tell him to his face, instead of on social media.

Professing my undying love for my spouse on a public page is just not for me. Just because I did not participate in the picture posting frenzy does not mean I am not a happily married woman. (and just for the record, of course I am, have you seen the smokin' hot son of a gun I married?!)

But really, Parker and I aren't the "lovey-dovey" type of couple anyway. (Well, after approximately 14 Cheladas and 23 Coors Lights we have been known to tear up the dance floor with offbeat jitterbug steps and sing "14 Carat Mind" at the top of our lungs, but that's true love right?)

Of course, it's heart warming to see the couple like my dear friend and her fiancĂ©e who are whispering sweet nothings in each others ears giggling and making googly-eyes at each other while singing karaoke "Party For Two". Ah young love! It's cute - and I wish I could say I remember those days but mostly our "young love" stage consisted of who could take the most shots of Wild Turkey contest to see who had to drive to the rodeo the next day. Everyone has their own love language!

Listen, there's nothing wrong with being proud of your significant other! All I am saying here is that just because your friends that you tagged in the spouse challenge didn't participate doesn't mean their marriage is falling apart and they are filing for divorce! Carry on friends!

And, my man of many talents
Relatively decent on a knee board


Piss poor fisherman, but pretty good at drinking beer
 
Not the best KISS imitation I've ever seen
But fairly good in the branding pen
 

Just kidding, he's like really good in the branding pen
