We Are “THAT” Couple

When Sam and I got married, a friend gave us two hand towels like the ones pictured above. Ours said, “Mr. Right” and “Mrs. Always Right!” In the years that we’ve been together, the only time Sam and I have ever “matched” was when we bought a ridiculous pair of Christmas pajamas!

After that, we tried to “match” for family pictures, but even then, it was usually just matching colors. It wasn’t like we have ever bought the same shirts or anything like that!

That all stopped I suppose when Sam went shoe shopping. There is a Hey Dude’s place near us and she kept talking about wanting a pair. She found some she liked and said I should get some. They look like what some people call “boat shoes” to me. Every time I have ever tried a pair of those style shoes, they would give me blisters, so I didn’t even want to try them. She talked me into to trying a pair and they were very comfortable.

We joked about having matching shoes and how we were slowly becoming “that” couple. Well, I can tell you that as of today, we ARE “that” couple. Let me explain.

Remember yesterday that I mentioned that we bought a new car? She had been looking at a Chevy Equinox for herself in the future. For me, we were looking at a Chevy Trax. In a nutshell, we sat in one that was sold. Then one became available and we drove it, loved it and bought it. On the way home with it Sam commented that she liked it.

Well, the guy from the car dealer called Sam yesterday. We hadn’t planned on doing anything for her for a couple months. He asked, “How set are you on an Equinox?” She said she really wasn’t set on anything. He asked how I liked my Trax, and she told him that we both liked it. He then informed her that the orange Trax we were only able to sit in was suddenly available.

It took just a couple hours to work out a deal and now, even though the colors are different, we have matching cars!

Sam’s has a few more bells and whistles than mine, but that’s ok. She deserves to ride like a queen!
