Tonight my husband surprised me with a date. And not our usual Friday night at Chic-Fil-A. No siree. The Aggie took me to the nicest steakhouse in Houston, Vic & Anthony's.
Now, V&A's isn't just good eats, my friend. It also has a certain ambiance to it that makes any time we go there feel like a scene from a movie with a gushy, upbeat happy ending. This is owed to three things: 1) the location of the restaurant catercorner to Minute Maid Park, 2) the classic, old Hollywood, Rat Pack decor and 3) the delicious gourmet food. (I would sell one of my kidneys for their crab cake recipe. Seriously.)
There's something a little bit magical about standing in the middle of the fourth largest city in America, in the glow of the stadium lights and sounds of thousands of people in the distance cheering. It's really hard to not see the silver lining when the wind is blowing gently, the stars at night are big and bright and the one you love is holding your hand as Frank Sinatra croons perfectly in the background.
It's been a rough week. The kind of week that makes it really, really difficult to think positively, but my sweet husband managed to make me to do just that. He has this ability to make me believe in the magic of it all. In the healing powers of a nice meal and even better conversation.
I'm not sure. Maybe its not magic at all. Perhaps its just luck or fate or chance. All I know is that sometimes you need lifting up in this world and I sure am glad I have someone willing to shoulder that burden with me. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for the Aggie.
