Last night we were at a family party celebrating our kids’ graduation from preschool. It was all pretty unromantic…but the kids loved it. My husband and Iwere chatting with a person at the party we didn’t know all that well when the question, “So how did you two meet?’ came up. I love hearing these stories from other people, but telling our story isn’t all that exciting.
Jim and I met at work–he was sort of my superior–not that I reported directly to him, but he had more seniority and more education. I was a researach assistant, a “lack-y.” Well, long story short, he asked me to lunch a few times and then he asked me the question I still love to this day, “Would you be interested in seeing me romantically?” Old fashioned–yes. Adorable–yes. Did it work–yes. And so, here we are 9 years after we started dating and nearly 7 since we married and I love to re-tell that part of the story. And now I’ve let you all in on my favorite secret line from my hubby!
Last night after the shin-dig was all over, I crashed, rested my head on my darling husband’s shoulder and asked, “how did this happen?!” He responded with, “Well, honey you agreed to see me romantically and now we have a house in the ‘burbs, two kids, a minivan, and an inflatable bouncy in the backyard.” Funny how a simple question with a simple response can change one’s life forever. For the better. Sometimes for the worst. But always for love.
Thanks for asking me to see you romantically, hon.
