SO…. DO YOU WANT TO MARRY ME AGAIN?

By The Flying Pinto

These are the words my husband blurted out over lunch yesterday. We had the rare pleasure of spending the day alone together. We headed into Houston to pick up a cabinet I bought last week and poked around the Montrose neighborhood. Montrose is full of antique stores and funky shops, we were having a great day and decided to stop for lunch. Well as we were eating…out of no where my husband of nearly eight years blurts out, “so…..do you want to marry me again?” ……what??????? I will have to say, he caught me completely off guard but I felt all giddy inside and said, “sure!” After we left the restaurant we talked about why he thought of asking me and it was several reasons, we’ve been through a lot the last couple of years….the birth of our first child, our house being damaged in Hurricane Ike (we’re still camping in our living room, our bedroom floors are finally going in next week) and he thought it would be a fun way to get a fresh start…not to mention a good excuse to replace the wedding band he outgrew….oh, and a really great excuse for a vacation. Yes, a vacation!! A romantic get away for two! Honeymoon style! The jury is still out on where we will go….maybe back to Italy, where he proposed the first time….or maybe a quick trip to Tulum, where we can rent a bungalow on the beach? I will keep you posted and please, we’re open to suggestions, let me know about your favorite, romantic destination: )

    that is so cute!!!! I love Tulum beach it is gorgeous there! I thought Paris was pretty romantic but Venice is by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve been. good luck deciding!

  3. I love this photo of the two of you with the wind blowing. SO much better than a still, frozen looking photo!!
