A few days ago, my mom and I picked up some burgers at a drive thru while we were on the road. We were trying to save time, so we ate while I drove. I’m no stranger to eating while driving; Bugs ‘n Plugs and I often pick up burgers from the drive thru when we’re making a trip. But, as much as I love my mom, the process wasn’t as smooth as it is when Bug ‘n Plugs and I take a trip together. We have a routine we do when we get food at the drive thru. The passenger manages handing out the food while the driver eats their meal a part at a time. It’s like a dance. Whichever of us is the passenger anticipates the need of the driver and ensures that the next thing is ready while taking care of the trash from the previous thing.
I think this is one of my favorite parts of being married to Bugs ‘n Plugs. I love that in our life we have these little things about us that just work. And it is only through learning about one another and growing together that we have arrived at this point. Now, I’m not saying we get it right all the time; we never will, but I love that with each passing year more of these little dances exist in our life together.
