New Celebrations

It's been awhile since I posted - busy summer than even busier fall. Since Bill proposed to me on October 4th, everything in my life has seemed new!

New to Me items:
1. engagement ring
2. address on a numbered street
3. house with lots of space
4. dog: Fritz, dog-cat conflicts
5. street parking
6. hand-washing dishes
7. 10 min. shorter commute
8. discussions about guest lists, chicken entrees, centerpieces, ink colors
9. being a landlord (the worst)
10. lots of celebrations just for me!

The photo is from a recent gathering at Spill the Wine that Rachel organized as the "bride's dinner". I'm so happy and thankful to have so many NOT new friends! These women have supported me for many years in many different ways, and I feel so lucky to know them all.
