Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher make a perfect celebrity couple. The pair tied the knot in 2010 in a dreamy wedding in Georgia.
The winner of the fourth season of American Idol and the Ottawa Senators hockey player at a backstage meet-and-greet following one of her concerts. Carrie’s initial reaction to Mike was “hot, hot, hot.”
Their relationship was challenging at the beginning because Carrie resided in Nashville while Mike lived in Canada at the time.
“I mean, can I make dating more difficult?” the Grammy Award winner once said during an episode of VH1’s Behind the Music. “Let’s get a hockey guy who lives in another country. Awesome.”
The two stayed in touch through phone calls before meeting again in person around three months following their initial meeting.
In her songs, Carrie often sings about heartbreak, but her real love life can’t be any better.
Speaking to People, she once said, “I feel like he is the person I was meant to be with.”
In their 2020 docuseries, Mike and Carrie: God & Country, the songstress and the athlete admitted to facing several highs and lows in their marriage.
“We learn from each other and have spirited discussions about things that we disagree on, but at the end of the day, we love each other very much,” she said in an episode.
However, no matter the challenges, the couple learned how to communicate through their differences.
The couple share two children together, Isaiah, born in 2015, and Jacob, born in 2019.
“I love my role as a mom and wife. In addition to what I get to do onstage, I go to baseball practice,” Carrie shared in a May 2023 interview with Vegas Magazine. “It’s wonderfully ordinary, and I love that. In a lot of ways, I lead a double life. I’m mom at home, and then I fly away to Vegas or to go on tour.”
Of course, when she’s busy touring, she gets a lot of help from Mike who’s taking care of the kids.
Back in 2017, she experienced a fall and broke her wrist. It was a tough period which Carrie says wouldn’t have been able to overcome easily had it not been for her husband.
“He is so levelheaded about everything, and when I was dealing with everything, not just emotionally but hormonally, when you’re going on that roller coaster of pregnant, not pregnant, pregnant, not pregnant, I was probably not very easy to love, to be honest,” she shared with People. “And to have somebody so even-keeled, he was my lifeline, keeping me grounded.”
The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary last year and they are still going strong.
WOMAN SWERVES TO MISS TRASH BAG IN ROAD, LOOKS CLOSER AND GETS THE CHILLS
Likely, you’ve been there before. You make a decision to deviate slightly from your usual course of action at the last minute.
You switch up your coffee routine or leave the office a little sooner. The smallest shift in your daily routine can have a profound effect.
You unexpectedly run into a long-lost acquaintance, or you get home from work early and discover that your spouse has been cheating on you.
Sometimes the shifts are minor, and other times they’re monumental.
Something like what occurred to Malissa Sergent Lewis when she took a different route to work one day last summer.
Malissa Sergent Lewis was running late for work at her elementary school in Kentucky one morning in the summer of 2016.
Malissa wanted to get there faster, so she took a back road instead than the main highway.
Malissa will always be grateful for your choice.
That day, the road was empty, except for one thing: a trash bag.
But this was no ordinary garbage bag; it seemed to be alive.
“I saw this trash bag in the road, and I thought to myself, ‘Did I just see that bag move?’ The closer I got, I realized it was moving,” Malissa told The Dodo.
Malissa felt she had to open the sack and see what was living inside.
Since she had no idea what was in the bag, she stepped out of the car and approached it gingerly.
Malissa understood that whatever was inside the bag didn’t get there on its own because the bag was tied.
Malissa carefully ripped apart the bag’s corner to have a look inside.
What was inside was even more surprising.
“It was a puppy. And he sure was glad to see me. As soon as I opened it up, and he saw light, he just started wagging his tail. I couldn’t believe it,” Malissa told The Dodo.
The dog was found in the middle of the road, having been put in a trash bag. Even if the small kid was only in there for a second, it would have been too long.
The puppy had a collar on, but no identification tags.
Since Malissa couldn’t bear to abandon the puppy, she drove him with her to class.
The puppy was eventually taken back to Malissa’s house by her son. After that, he and Malissa took the puppy to the vet to get checked out and immunized.
It’s unclear how the dog came to be in a bag on the side of the road.
Malissa called animal control after becoming concerned that the puppy would be abandoned or stolen.
The dog, however, was not reported as lost, and no one came forward to claim him.
Fortunately, Malissa and her family have adopted the puppy, so he will receive the care and attention he deserves. However, she is at a loss to fathom who would carry out such a heinous act.
“Who could do something like that to any animal? I don’t care who you are; everybody loves puppies. It’s a real coldhearted person to put an animal, any animal, in a garbage bag and dump it on the side of the road,” Malissa’s told The Dodo.
