Together again. This time, I asked HIM to marry me.

Last September, while in a mosh pit at a concert, my husband lost his wedding ring, along with one of his shoes. His shoe was found after everyone cleared out, but his ring was long gone. I don't know who was more bummed-him or I.

It's kind of been forgotten about until we started talking about a ring upgrade for me. Not a big jewelry person, I told him I'd rather he replace his ring, and not worry about mine.

I snuck and ordered him one that looked like his old ring. It came in the mail today.

He was outside watching Jake play in the sprinklers, I approached him.

Me: "Would you marry me all over again?"
Him: "Of course, babe."
Me: "Good".

I hand him a ring box.

He likes it. I'm glad.

Know what's sad? the fact that everytime I see cupcakes posted on an online cupcake blog, I have the urge to make some myself. Cupcakes and mini cupcakes.

That, and the fact that I finally got the Dragees I've been wanting for the cuppies. They are the silver balls on the cupcakes. Quite interesting story behind why they are banned in certain states on wiki:

A third form of dragée is a much smaller, pure sugar ball, usually with a metallic coating, made to resemble a ball bearing. These dragées are produced in various sizes, but tend toward slightly larger than a nonpareil and slightly smaller than a small pearl. In fact, one of the more recent developments in the finish of dragées has been the creation of fairly realistic edible pearls, which are used primarily in the decoration of cookies, cakes, and other forms of bakery. Silver dragées, now augmented by ones with gold and copper finishes, have long been used for both wedding and holiday food decoration.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers the metallic-finish dragées to be inedible. Early in the 20th century, the silver finish may have contained mercury (it does not now). The sale of these dragées was banned for some time. Although the metallic-finish dragées can be purchased in 49 U.S. states, in California, they are no longer sold due to a 2003 lawsuit against several sellers. Now, these dragées are sold with a notice that they are for decorative purposes only. However in other countries (including the United Kingdom) they are classed as food items.
