Old Friends, Newly Weds

One month ago—after a few years of friendship, which climaxed in a proposal, followed by a stint at dating and then a second proposal, which led to an engagement—John and I got married.

This was a great idea for lots of reasons, not the least of which being dinner.

John loves to cook, and, happily for me, he's quite good at it. I hate to cook but love dinner parties and everything about them: invitations, decorations, and conversation.

So, we're going to start having people over for dinner. Get excited.
