Engaged!


I guess here is the place to post all of this, because I hate to excitement bomb facebook.
So hey! Eric and I are engaged!!!

My weekend consisted of:
Friday night- Joanna Newsom, which I loved and Eric was miserable at
Saturday- First day of Spring! Wesley's 10th birthday!
Marriage workshop at Circle which was about how to have healthy conflict. It was really good.
Lunch at El Jarocho, my favorite South Philly Mexican joint
Walk through South Philly, coffee from Gleaner's
Pick up the ring
Drive to Penn Treaty (the site of our first hang-out) and sit on the grass. Awkward proposal ensues. We're doing this!
Go home, pick up our bikes (Eric bought me one the day before) and we head to the field where Berks dead ends past Frankford. Within ten minutes I am riding for the first time ever.
Saturday night- picnic dinner with our friends Molly and Ethan in the park and dessert and Quiddler at their place.
Sunday- Drove our bikes up to Pennypack Park and rode forEVER. I got really scared of hitting people and got frustrated a lot. But I guess I did pretty awesome for my second day riding. But then we got lost and had to ride on the sidewalk of Rhawn and cross over the Boulevard to get back to where our car was. 2 1/2 hour ride total. Ouch.
Then nap time/lunch/movie/cuddletime
Then Circle
Then impromptu Memphis Taproom dinner with Ethan and the Landistratis'.

What a life.

I've never been happier or more content than I have been this year. And it only gets better.

This blog is now just to communicate with Lana

...because who else cares what I buy or how I am newly intrigued by wedding stuff? No one.
So these are for you, Lan:

I miss wearing heels a little bit, so I went on a hunt for some comfy/cute wedges. Center City yielded nothing and on my dejected way home I decided to stop at Lost and Found in Old City for the first time. Bingo! Got these lovely plum Seychelles heels and these super comfortable suede-heeled keds!
it's been a long time

new shoes

Also, Lana sent me this wonderfully crafted necklace made by a her new friend in Portland. It's lovely!
