Love and Marriage

Today I had a lovely surprise!

I have been considering for some time in buying some romance comics. Neat old fashioned ones from the 50s and 60s because I love the art work in them. When I was wedding planning I looked online at a few images here and there, to sorta get ideas for vintage things I could do for the wedding. In that search I found one particular cover that I really loved. J and I were at one point going to use it as a part of our wedding invite, but choose another option that worked better with our "theme". I still liked the comic image so much that I printed a few and hung them on our wall.

So today, after my lovely husband got home from work, he said "I have a surprise for you."
There was no special occasion and I was not expecting anything.
"Just open it"

So, I opened it. And inside was an old romance comic. I looked at it, and thought how sweet it was that he took the time to buy me one, even though the cover was not something I would have picked myself. Then I looked at the second comic, and it was the one that I had hung on our wall! I cried with so many tears of joy. I had to put them down and squeeze him tight.
"Thank you, thank you! You made me cry"
"I'm sorry"
"No. It's good. I love it!"

This is the first time that I think my husband has really been able to surprise me with something so special. I am normally pretty observant when he is up to something, but not this time. And, it was a lovely, lovely surprise!

Some food for thought.

Right now I am making dinner with my most lovely of fiances. Neither of us are really all that hungry, yet we are still making dinner. It's a nice relaxing thing that we both enjoy, cooking. There is something about it that is peaceful, and easy, yet it possesses it's own set of challenges (especially in a small kitchen).

Much of our relationship's positive aspects revolves around food come to think of it. We both love trying new foods, and we get stuck on certain things when we find something we both love....like Indian butter chicken. Many of our favorite foods are ethnic foods, many of which are things that our families have never tried.

When doing a gift registry most of the items we registered for where cooking or baking items. We have most of what we need already as we have both been living on our own for some time now, but registering for the higher end and specialty items was something that appealed to both of us.

So, food is a big part of my life, and that's the way I like it!
