Shoe shopping

My husband just sincerely told me, "I like your shoes." 

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw. 

"Did you just notice my shoes?! Who are you?" I asked, bewildered. 

"If there's anything in fashion I have an opinion about, it's women's shoes," he replied. 

"How have we been married almost 13 years, and I have never known that?!"

I just never thought I could learn something new about a man I've known as a lover for 17 years. 

Especially if it means we get to go shoe shopping together!
