Communicating

Last night we were sitting there when my husband's cell phone beeped indicating he had a text.  After about 10 minutes I'm asked him to please check his phone.  I know it drives him crazy when I do this, but at the same time I get irritated when whomever has texted him then texts me and asks that I have Andrew check his phone.  We then discussed the differences in our personalities.  Andrew couldn't care less whether he ever checks his texts or emails.  I, on the other hand, practically live for such messages!  And this is where it is somewhat ironic.  My husband is clearly, without a doubt, an extrovert, yet he doesn't particularly care if people are attempting to communicate with him.  I am, in spite of my outgoing personality, a true introvert at heart and actually much prefer quiet time at home to just about anything else.  I didn't use to be this way, but I am becoming more so as I get older.  Thank goodness for Andrew who forces me to get out and have fun...which I always do when I'm with my friends but I have to be somewhat "urged" to get out and make it happen.  Anyway, despite my introvert nature, I LOVE getting texts and emails and communicating in that way...I guess it's because I don't have to be "in person".  We just found this to be a very interesting facet of our personalities!
