Thanksgiving 2007

The happiest of Thanksgivings! Kevin and I got engaged the day before. I think my parents love him almost as much as I do. My mom said he already seemed like family when she met him a year ago.

My parents' smiles are possibly even bigger than mine?

I'm eating this entire bowl. I really like stuffing.

Our Engagement 2007

The day before Thanksgiving, Kevin proposed on the steps of the New York Public Library. He wanted to propose before the holidays; we were spending Thanksgiving with my parents and Christmas with his mother's large family. It wasn't our first holiday together, as we had already spent Thanksgiving together in Charlottesville in 2006 with his mother, brother, and cousin Katie. But it was our first holiday together since wedding magazines had suspiciously appeared in our apartment.

Our Engagement 2007
Proposing!

Kevin texting his friend Briggs right before proposing.

He proposed in New York, where we plan to live when I graduate law school because I have a job waiting there. Presumably, he chose a library because as the wife of a writer and writing professor, our home will be one? He made his high school friend Jon jump out and take pictures as it was all happening. Clearly, Kevin gets me.

I said "Definitely!"

This is the only time I have seen the planet spin while sober. It is really something.

Our Engagement 2007
Celebrating.

Our Engagement 2007
I am happy.

Cheers!

We stayed overnight in New York and checked out just in time to miss the Macy's Day Parade. Ha! Actually, I think I saw one float. That totally counts right?

PILA Semiformal Dance 2007

UVA Law's Public Interest Law Association (PILA) hosted a Benefit Auction and Semiformal Dance at the Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville. For once, I didn't take a million pictures, so enjoy a few good ones!
