A confusing alphabet →
I usually use “B as in Beyonce” and “S as in Sondheim” when doing phone-spellings
but this is way better…

Thanks so much for everyone who weighed in on my proposal protocol post. This is really a pretty remarkable community.
And it seems as if so many of us are in agreement on one thing:
When it comes to love, there are no rules… just do your thing!

This weekend Simon and I took Hazel up to Northwestern for her first college visit!
We will spend most of the fall rooting for the Irish (Simon’s Alma Mater), so I figured now was my chance to introduce Hazel to her mama’s school.
