you know how some people say they they look like their dogs? well. my husband and i, we look like our frozen yogurt. or rather, we are reflected in it, i think. it's random but true. a few nights ago we took a walk after dinner to a local frozen yogurt joint in westport. you know, the kind that allows you to mix and match and add all sorts of goodies.
i went through the line first mixing flavors i had never tried before: tropical pineapple, toasted coconut, and orange soda. to my summery concoction i added some fresh fruit toppings of kiwi and blueberries, for they are my favorites. and then for a little balance and color, i threw in some mango and strawberry boba. why, not? there is something about that unexpected pop of sweet caviar that makes me smile. i've only had them a few times and considered it a fun option to try. and all of this was topped off with a little marshmallow creme, because everyone likes marshmallow creme, right?
and then for husbands walk through...can you handle this???
he started out all americana with a big swirl of vanilla yogurt and a small side of raspberry to taste. he didn't even glance at the other twenty flavors on the wall, skipped the fruit, and gallivanted strait for the goods. by goods, i mean my cutie patootie of a husband went for the sugar. to his classic foundation he added sour worms, gummy bears, rainbow crunch cereal, nerds {i know, right?}, aaaaand....wait for it....caramel sauce {yep, he's crazy}. i feel ten cavities starting to form just thinking about it.
when we were eating at the counter he said something to this effect as he saw me peering into his cup, "...it's all just sugar anyways, right?" and that's just one reason why i love him.
on our walk home i could not help but think about how were were each represented in those yogurt cups...each reflected in its contents. our yogurt was so...US.
me: borderline impulsive. always creative. curious enough to call myself a tad adventurous. conscientious and always an over-thinker. overly sensitive. a human striving for balance.
husband: consistently steady. thoughtful beyond measure. hilarious. adorably innocent. did i say hilarious? always insanely over-the-top sweet. SO SWEET. darn kind. a child at heart.
so there you have it. us in yogurt form.
i suppose i could connect each ingredient to a character trait but i think you get the picture. do you and your love ever find yourselves reflected in food...pets...or anything else?

haha this is hilarious! i will have to check out what my husband's fro-yo looks like the next time we get... sounds delicious now :)

What an interesting way to look at yogurt! I've never thought about it, but you're SO right!! Our different personalities definitely come out in our yogurt topping choices.. me: crazy and daring..him: simple and grounded...the perfect match! Thanks for sharing this awesome point of view!
