Reason #114537438 that I love my husband.

Matt and I have had an ongoing....struggle....with laundry. I tend to do our laundry, and have never gotten into the habit of checking pockets when I do. I ALWAYS have a tissue on me, so unfortunately, I often end up with pieces of tissue all over our laundry. When Matt and I first got married, this drove him crazy- understandable. He'd beg me to check my pockets for tissues before I did the laundry. I was slightly defensive about it, depsite my understanding, because after all, I was the one doing his laundry!!

So one day, I did his laundry, and when I opened the dryer, I was mortified at the endless pen streaks around our dryer. He had left a pen in the pocket of his work pants, and it looked like an angry little child had scribbled hundreds of marks around and around our dryer. Fail. I didn't want to hear it- WHY did he not empty his pockets before putting his clothes in the hamper? Back and forth we went, he knew he shouldn't have left a pen in his pocket, but wondered why I couldn't just check. 3 days of scrubbing later, our dryer was spotless, thanks to me! Moving on!

Last week, I did our laundry again. As the clothes are in the dryer I hear a thumping towards the end of the cycle. I open the dryer to investigate but see nothing. I figure it must be the heavy load. I start the dryer back up after fluffing out the load a bit, but hear the thumping again. Ugh! I open the dryer and to my horror, find Matt's relatively new IPOD in the pocket of his gym shorts. SERIOUSLY?!! As annoyed as I was that he had left it in his pocket, I felt HORRIBLE. Luckily, the Ipod was revived after 30 min on the charger, but the screen was a bit funky. So when he came home, I confessed and apologized profusely. Luckily, he was super sweet, no arguing occured. He told me it was alright...Phew!!

Yesterday, when I came home, the first words Matt said to me were:

"Babe, I have to tell you something. Now I could choose to withhold this from you, but I am an honest person...." What in the world is he about to tell me?? "I did my laundry this morning. And I had left my walllet in my pants."

I love you my man! You're hilarious and so sweet.
