So, uh... I have been informed that I guess we're doing a baby-girl shower for Lilith's and my soon-to-be-arriving daughter...

Anyone who'd want to come would be welcome to do so. Esther's got all the details.

Kind of ready. It's a long story.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Oh? What's going on?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

It looks like I'll be starting the new year at a new school district.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

That's exciting. Where at?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Washington state. It kind of happened faster than I thought.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

This sounds like a good story. Do tell.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Well, long story short, I'm moving out to be with Erato. I proposed to her and there's no way I can imagine a transcontinental marriage.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Excellent! Have you two set a date yet?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

We're still working on that. I'm afraid I'm going to end up being the stereotypical "whatever you want" guy. I never gave much thought to weddings before.

Might be a good time to brush up on that. If Erato's anything like Carmen was, she'll want you to be active in the planning process.

I'm pretty sure she's going to want me involved but I don't have a clue. It took me long enough to write her song. I can't even imagine how long it would take me to pick out flowers or something.

More than likely, she's already got at least the start of an image in her head, and she's going to show you a bunch of options that will fine-tune it. Your job will be to be supportive and honest.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Thankfully, I can do that.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll do fine.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'm going to do my absolute best. That's for sure.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Excited about it?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Excited AND terrified in equal portions.
