Day 7 - Viva L'amor

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary. ♥  I painted this painting in honor of love and the day he asked me to marry him.  That day, I was outside, working on my old junker of a car, a Nissan Sentra..(yes, I used to do that too...)  my arms were covered in black grease and I was a dirty mess.  It was a cold winter's day, mid January, and he came driving down my parent's driveway in his Ram Charger that we called the Big Blue Living Room.. he walked over to where I was as I leaned into the engine compartment, and stood there a minute. He finally spoke up and said.. "So... will you marry me?"  

My response...?

"Are you kidding me?" I straightened up and looked at him carefully to make sure he wasn't pulling my leg.  You see, we had only been dating for around 2 months at that point...had only really known each other for a few months more than that.  So.. yes, I thought he was actually kidding... 

But he was not.  And he asked me again.  

And I said yes. :)
