The Husbands Plan.

A little back story here first. My husband and I have been together for 7 years now. As you can imagine our relationship has reached that point where we kind of just exist in each others lives. Don't get me wrong we still enjoy on another's company and conversation, however the relationship has lost a lot of its original glamor. Now the same with any other couple we have our own go to hobbies we enjoy. Me I enjoy writing, reading, and anything art. He enjoys everything cars. He rebuilds his own or works on our vehicles. or when the weather Is crappy like it has been he will build his own model cars. I love it when he builds a model because they look so good. When he finishes one I make it a point to clear a spot on the shelf above my desk for his new addition. Now as I mentioned before we haven't spent a lot of time together recently and I think he is tired of that. Last night he brought home a gigantic bag of supplies for a model car build only this time he had supplies for two cars. I thought to myself oh he is ready for a long week in. Nope I was wrong because this man came over to my desk, took my mouse from me, saved my work and shut my computer off. He then took my notebooks away from me and said will you join me on the couch. He brought supplies home for me this time. He had a plan that I was going to sit on the couch with him and build my own model car with him. So now here I am a person who knows absolutely nothing about this hobby trying to understand what a man who is an expert at this explain to me what I need to do. I am lost. Then he realized his mistake. He tells me to just start painting. Painting this plastic contraption is completely different than a canvas but I'm going to try because this is something he wants me to do. He has invited me into his world and wants me to participate in an activity with him and I have now set my mind to doing such. My car is now this purple glob that is sitting on wheels. In three hours my husband managed to make us get closer to each other than we have been in months. I applaud him for this and he made me smile. To me this was better than a date night out somewhere. I think I might make him paint a canvas next time.
