happiness is a warm meal

[threeplusfire]

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.

Quite. How fun it is fun to be correct. ;)
I can't wait for you to come to Texas.

Yeah, I had to sort out my id situation so I can, but now I am motivated, so that helps massively.

NY in Oct, TX in Dec. Yay.

Rock. That will be fun! And it won't be broiling, so we can drive around with the windows down and eat ice cream and such.

Awesome. You will be in the throes of wedding crazies. But hopefully I can come down long enough to actually see a bit of sights.

And by sights we mean that one building that's like 20 stories tall and our impressive clock tower... heh. It manages to be very pretty in the winter and I'm sure the novelty of green leaves on the oaks in December will be grand.
