My husband speaks very limited sign language and is uninterested in going to Deaf social events or learning sign language. He knows it is important to me though and so last night after we got into a fight (after I had time to cool down) he flashed me the "I love you" sign. It wasn't exactly an apology but it was thoughtful because he knows I am very into sign language and deaf culture. Its kind of like him exiting his comfort zone to meet me where I am. And what could be a better phrase to do this with than "I love you"?
Today we went to Estes Park, which is little tourist town in the mountains of Colorado. My husband is not a mountain man and much more of a city guy and although all we did was walk around shops, he was uncomfortable. One of my favorite things about Estes Park is that there are 2 Nebraska Huskers memorabilia shops. We agreed that I could get a bumper sticker or something from one of the shops and so I was very excited. Before we got to the shop though, we came across another sports shop with a mix of different gear from different teams and my husband got a Notre Dame hat for himself and secretly bought me a Nebraksa hat. He then told the entire family about it and surprised me with it on the drive down the mountain!
