Amazing day. There are no words to describe how surreal and lovely everything felt. When I peaked my head in and saw the place settings in the library, all I could think was “for us? really?”. The conservatory lived up to all the ideas in my head that have gotten bigger and bigger over the last seventeen months…and more. Arriving in the garden and peaking around the corner to see Adam standing there peaking right back was a crazy high…I couldn’t stop smiling all day and haven’t really stopped since…except to blow my nose (bad cold two days later…I somehow consider myself lucky).
Alright - enough of the mushy gushy love stuff…back to work. I’m sure I’ll be hanging out around here a lot more now that I don’t have rose petals and fondant on the brain.
(Who am I kidding - I always have rose petals and fondant on the brain…)

Congratulations again, Rachel. I’ll save the speech I drafted for when you have your first baby, I’ll just mad-lib it into something more fitting.

WISH WISH WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE! DAMN YOU WORK VISAS! DAMN YOU CUSTOMS! I DON’T CARE IF THIS RED FLAGS ME ON SOME DATABASE! DAMN YOU ALSO FACEBOOK!!
But DAMN you looked amazing girl. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I nearly cried just looking at those pics, so lord knows I will bawl at the other ones too.
(Also, are you kidding me? what is this ridiculousness of “owing” me a pack of miso? I’ll buy you a pack a day for life if it means I get to see you, your man-slave and menagerie on a regular basis. FOR LIFE!!)
