When your husband looks hot ;)

My husband often reads my blog but, I’ve got to admit, I hope this is one post he misses. Not because I am going to vent my frustrations or say something nasty. In fact, the complete opposite…but the truth is, he would be mortified. For those of you who don’t know him, my hubby is a pretty quiet and private guy. To draw attention to him in a public forum under any circumstances would be embarrassing – this is the same dude who wanted to be married but didn’t want to have the wedding because people would be looking at him…this was not an issue for me ;).

Let me put this into context – I have always thought my husband was cute. From the day I met him I had a crush on him and it took over a year of wooing to get him. But you know how it is, 15+ years together and he’s kinda like that beautiful painting you bought years ago that you LOVED and couldn’t take your eyes off of. You still love the painting and every once in a while someone will point it out and you will, for a moment, remember those feelings and appreciate it again but it doesn’t take long for it to blend back in and become part of your familiar surroundings. The same is true for husbands. Strange, but true.

However, the other day I had one of those moments where it hit me again. And what was weird about it was he wasn’t even there! I was sitting at my computer on a call with a client when my screen saver was activated and started rotating pictures on my screen. I was about to jiggle my mouse to get back to my document when this popped up:

Yowzah! Now, I don’t need your comments on Hot or Not because that’s not really the point. My point is, IT is still there. In fact, I think my hubby gets better looking with age. When I met him he was skinny…like 6’4" and 170lbs. I thought he was dreamy but he was extremely thin. Now, as other 40ish year old men battle the bulge, he is still thin but at 190lbs has filled out a bit. Plus, the little bit o’ salt and pepper in the hair and the vacation beard in this pic…making me weak in the knees!

I guess what I am saying is that most days we barely notice how the other one looks because our lives are so busy and, well, we have become kinda familiar. It is nice to be surprised by my hot husband all over again! I’m thinking that maybe it would be nice for him to know this too…maybe I should tell him about this post?
