17

In this most recent General Conference, I remember a General Authority say something like, "When was the last time you turned to your spouse to say I love you?" (I'm probably getting this all wrong, and I can't even remember who it was, but I remember the point.)

I remember thinking, "People don't say it often? Not even everyday?" I was pretty shocked at this, considering Travis and I are the king and queen of PDA. Mooshy is our motto and love is our game.

So the other day, I decided to count how many times Travis says it. Be it through texts, phone conversations or in person. By the end of the day and as we were going to bed, he had said it 17 times.

To the general authority who posed that question, I answer... "2 minutes ago."

Ha Ha! i remember thinking the same thing during that talk. sometimes i think i say it too much. Is it possible to lose its meaning if you say it too often. I should count how many times we say it!

After I read this, I thought: I should do that. So, yesterday I finally remembered in the morning (sometimes Tyler still says "I love you" to me even though my brain is not on yet and it took me a while to remember in the morning that I wanted to count). I lost count by that evening, but it sure was good to know how much my hubby loves me. Thanks for the idea! :)
