The faces we make:

Have you ever been in a restaurant and noticed the chemistry sparks (or lack thereof) between all the different couples in different age groups/stages of life?
You have the girlfriends who giggle and smile at their boyfriends, while their boyfriends smirk and flirt back at them. 
Then you have the engaged couples who still have that spark, but in a more mature/experienced way. Not much giggling but definitely a whole lotta talking and smiling. 
Then there are the young married couples who still look like they're enjoying each other's company; they talk, they laugh, they smile, they eat. It's all good in their hood. 


Then there are those older married couples. . . 
{CRICKET :::::::::::::::::::::: CRICKET}
They kinda just sit there in silence and don't even make eye contact. 
{CRICKET :::::::::::::::::::::: CRICKET}
They stare past each other while taking bite after bite of their food. 
{CRICKET :::::::::::::::::::::: CRICKET}
Most of them look miserable. 
It's pretty depressing to watch. 


Well, Jon and I never wanna be that older married couple. 
Do you?
I hope not. 


As of right now we're still newlyweds, and when we go out to eat I almost always end up giggling while Jon flirts with me. We laugh, we talk, we stuff our faces, we enjoy each other. . . and (I must not forget) we make weird faces. 
Allow me to share a few of the pictures we've taken throughout the course of our relationship, while eating out:

And when our little girl is 4 years old and mommy & daddy take her out for lunch, this is pretty much what people will see when they look over at our table.
(Who needs crayons and scrap paper when they have a funny tio [uncle] to keep them entertained?)

Moral of this post:
We don't know how to act in public. 
We look forward to keeping our goofy nature alive for the rest of our lives, because no one wants to be just like those miserable older married couples, right?
