I loved this. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but it made me smile…
About a month ago I gave a photograph of myself, from when I was all dressed up for my brother’s graduation, to my husband to keep at his work. He had a picture of me from years ago, but I thought that he would enjoy an updated one given that I have gone through so many physical changes over the last eleven months.
Well, yesterday he came home and shared something really amusing with me. A couple of his male co-workers were passing by and they stopped to chat with him. When they were standing there, one of them noticed the new photo and asked my man who it was. He replied, “that’s my wife!”
The guy who had first noticed the picture seemed impressed and said, “she’s really pretty.” (At this point in my husband's telling of the story I am already feeling great, but the next part is what really made my day.) The other person who was standing there – now staring at the image of me – apparently gives a wide-eyed, vigorous nod and enthusiastically drawls, “yeeeeaaaahhhh…”
Awesome! My poor husband is so unused to the types of comments he has been receiving about me of late. This isn’t the first time his co-workers have complimented my appearance recently and apparently one of them went on quite a bit about me a couple of months ago. I admit that it is really flattering. I think the seeming bizarreness of it makes it a novelty to me; I’ve just never been all that concerned about appearances and suddenly all of these positive remarks are coming from all directions.
My wonderful hubby is so great about it too. I think he enjoys telling me about these instances and reveling in the apparent perception that he has an attractive spouse as much as I get a kick out of hearing the stories!
