happiness is a warm meal
Alan's parents came down today, bearing a big box of kolache, and we ate lunch at the County Line over off 2222. It's very beautiful and has the best barbecue sauce ever. I see why people get married there. It was a lovely afternoon all in all, and his parents are such lovely folk. His mom hugged me and whispered, "We like you."
Total and utter relief and happiness because every step I take makes this feel more and more like the right decision.
Called Hana at last to tell her the good news, and she was absolutely thrilled to hear it. At first she thought I was marrying Gene and we laughed when we realized the mistake. Going to introduce her to Alan sometime soon after the boys go back to school. She is vastly amused by how perfect it is that I'm marrying a Texas Czech.
Alan's father and I bonded over our shared Longhorn-ness and he knows a little bit of Czech. His mother and I discussed pies and baking. I think I'll fit in well here. Now we just have to hope my family adores him as much.
We're thinking December now. There's a big box of kolache on the counter. I'm in love.

i wanted to be married in december, in red... somehow that got translated into may in poofy white... *sigh*- still perfect though! :)
i miss bbq :( salt lick, county line, heck- that place off barton springs road (green mesquite?)... i'm not feeling terribly picky. and oh lands, KOLACHE. where did they bring them from - west? if you like the ones from west you should try kolache shoppe out by the crummy mall with the ice skating... oh ... i can't remember, this is really embarrasing... anyhow- near houston's (i know you know where that is!...well, less there is more than one). i like the sausage ones, but if you must have fruit- go cherry :)
