Great Friday.

Good news: I got out of work early and came home to shower (thus the reason for my blowdried poofy hair)! Me and the fiancee are now headed to Penn Station to be at my parents house for the holiday weekend. Apparently they're going to give us a talk about marriage.

Related & frequently asked question: Did Jesse ask my dad for my hand in marriage?

Answer: From Japan in February, Jesse hand-wrote my father a six-page letter. He bought nice paper, and even a nice pen. He anxiously awaited a reply for a week. When my dad did reply, he said, "If you can convince her, then welcome to the family."

If you can convince her...

Ha!

  8. kristen - welcome to le blog! :) thank you, too!

    alana - HA! okay, well, i'm obsessed with your dogs. and dimitry with your dogs. i would get dogs and take pictures of jesse with said dogs, but i think that addish to this blog would make everybody severely sick.

    lindsay - not gonna lie, v. v. hard to do. i can't believe i am so lucky.

    nicole antoinette - thank you! my parents never thought i'd entreat the thought of marriage, i was so cynical about meeting somebody i could put up with for life. but, whaddya know...

    chele - i know! it's so cute!

    cici - it does! i had lost faith in it for a while before meeting jesse...in fact, i met him during my "anti-dudes month." not lying.

    toni - thanks!

    sabrina - i'm totally allowed to read both letters...but...i don't think i could take it right now, i would just start weeping by the first line. i'll save them for later, i think. :)
