Milestones

Our engagement party was this past Saturday. Thank you to those whose contributions to the evening made for a wonderful night. From picture taking fools to the social butterflies to my cousin who drove down from New Hampshire, in spite of him nursing my aunt through her illness, it was truly a magical night.

The Polaroid album went home with my mother, so unfortunately we haven't seen it yet. But I hear that the children honored us with their picture and chocolate-smeared page as a memento. We feel so lucky.

There have been questions about the unfortunate ending and the answer to that is: too much alcohol. There will be no fireworks at the wedding; you can only have them once a year.
