Thanksgiving 2013

Holidays are hard, for us both, I'm sure. I have my expectations, he has memories of years of being passed around, just not fun, ya know. But I feel like we've been able to celebrate them together pretty well. Yesterday was traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We slowly eased into the day with smooches and cuddles, cats included. Coffee and breakfast while we prepped the stuffing and turkey. Movies and snuggles on the couch, delicious food and great company. 

I think overall it was a successful day! 
(And we are both still reeling from our engagement. 
It's the best thing I could ever wish for!)

I said yes!

He asked me to marry him yesterday. The first wedding proposal I have ever received and the best and the one I really wanted. Never have I wanted to spend the rest of my life with someone as much as I look forward to being with him! 

Casual conversation at the dining room table, none of that on the knee, jumbotron craziness. Just he and I, discussing our futures. It just felt like the right thing, it feels like the right thing. 

Now to continue life as it's been, beautiful, challenging, humbling, whole. I finally really feel like all the parts have come together.
