More than a touch

So for all of you that are married I am sure you will appreciate this story. My husband is notorious for putting my things places where I do not know where they are. In his mind that place he put it makes sense but then I am not able to find things in the place that I would call their home. So this past week I have been beside myself because I have not been able to find all my necklaces that I placed in a bag which was packed with us when we were at the beach last week. Since I have still not unpacked from this trip which I know bothers my very organized husband I thought maybe it was here or there in my other bags but as the week went on realized it in fact was not in those places. So today after a night of rethinking our departure from our hotel and trying to discover where it may have gone said something to Dustin about it. He looked at me and said that I have not been looking hard enough and because I am still not unpacked this is probably part of my problem. A lecture that I expected from him. He then proceeded to take me upstairs and open a drawer in the bottom of my dresser that I never use and said here they are! As I was trying to explain to him that this was not where they went he proceeded to remind me that then I should have put them where they did go and then also back tracked and then said he did not even put them there which makes me very confused to how in 1.2 seconds he knew where they were! I told him that he is not to put his hands on my stuff and put them places they don't belong. This though did not cause a fight since after 10 years of marriage we tend to just laugh at each other more than anything anymore in amazement that two people as different as we are can even still be married. So as I thought about this and the fact that deep down it did make me a little frustrated that over a week had gone by an I had looked and looked for those necklaces and stressed about where they could be and that it was all because he stuck them in some bottom drawer I never look in and did not even bother to tell me he put them there. Also frustrated that as I thought this through I realized that he is right and if I would be more organized I would have discovered them earlier since that bottom drawer where the necklaces were tucked away really does have a purpose which is for my hair dyer and flat iron which I decide to leave lay out each day rather than put them away where they belong. Discovering this fact made me even more mad but I guess at myself rather than him (sort of) As I thought this through I tried to get to the bottom line of it all which is that if he were not here to touch my stuff and place it in the most odd places that I would very much miss it. I would miss him and the lesson that I learned from it today although if I am being honest I would miss him more than the lesson.

So today I am embracing his kind gesture to try to help me out and place those necklaces in a drawer to where he thought was a safe place and for the lesson to myself to be more organized which I know will be a long work in progress. So touch away hubby! Your touch is very much desired in more ways than one..
