A couple of weekends ago, my husband and I were heading out of town for a race that I had registered to run. Robby’s parents were watching Miss Bryn at our house for the day and I had my jogging shoes ready. We were good to go. Except that when we got there, the race was over. The event coordinators had messed up on the online times, and though I got my money back (and a bunch of other freebies too), I was still a little bit bummed. But that didn’t last long. My husband, always one to make me quickly find a bright side, suggested we drink the free beer we’d been offered and walk down to the nearby river.
So we did. And we held hands and laughed and ate free BBQ and shared warm conversation. We sat side by side with our Miller Lites, and found bliss in the comfort that comes from simply being next to the other after all of these years. On the way back, we found ourselves a quaint little winery and chit-chatted with their cheerful and animated staff.
It was a day of perfect, unexpected adventures spent with the person I feel so very lucky to permanently hang out with.
And there isn’t a scheduled plan in the world that I would trade that for.
That’s my kind of race! I show up and it’s over already and I still get all the freebies and my money back, haha! Obviously I’m not much of a runner these days. 😉 Sorry you missed your race, though. I know you love those. Glad you guys still had fun, though!
Haha! Psh, races happen all the time. Free beer does not! 😛
Sounds like you still had a great time! I’m sure it was nice to have a little break and some couple time!
AHH I would have been legit bummed about the race, but I’m glad the day turned around for the best!
aww, love how you made the best of your missed race – sounds like it ended up being a fun day!
This was just the type of post I needed to read today! So, thank you :). I love that you and your husband enjoy just being together 🙂
Aw! You’re welcome, friend! 🙂
