I have to admit that some of my single behaviors still linger over into marriage. When we've both worked long and tiring days or just come back from the gym and neither of us want to make dinner (i.e. a complete and balanced meal), I always opt for the "let's fend for ourselves" route. Maybe it's because my family used to do this on occasion and it was no big deal; I got to eat what I wanted which was usually snack foods or a bowl of cereal. When I throw up that option now, sometimes Andy will let me have my way and I end up dining on snack items and a big, gigantic smoothie.
Well, tonight, I didn't get my way and I'm okay with that, because dinner was
good. While wandering around the grocery store after our rainy and cold football game, we hemmed and hawed over which sauce to throw on our chicken. I protested once more until he said "This is what families do: they have dinner together and I want to make dinner for us."
Swooooon. So, I left my own pity party and picked out a few veggies for our meal. Our spicy, crunchy, delicious stir-fry that I also get to eat again for lunch tomorrow.
This is what our family does.
