Love and French Fries

 

After years of listening to you I always knew I had a husband who would "walk on burning, hot coals to bring me lemonade." I just had to share this story with you... 

My husband is training for his first Iron Man triathlon.  Last night, he grilled up some hamburgers before going out on a two hour bike/run so they would be ready for us to enjoy the minute he walked in from his workout. 

I walked downstairs and smelling the hamburgers, I jokingly said, "I'd like a cheese burger and French fries please!" Our house smelled just like a yummy restaurant. He finished up, left for his workout and I went on with my evening. 

Fast forward to two-and-a-half hours later, my husband walks in the door dripping sweat and tosses a bag of fries on the counter. Surprised I said, "What's that?" His reply? "You said you wanted French fries!" 

The man had literally ran to McDonald's, bought me French fries and with them in hand, ran back home almost two miles. 

A lot of men I know wouldn't make a special trip anywhere without being asked to surprise their wife with a special treat, let alone RUN there. 

I've got a winner folks! 

Thanks for everything Dr. Laura.
