ATTENTION READERS: If you are Facebook friends with my sweet beau and are not yet privy to his current status, I pray thee look at it before you read my post. Pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top (and those pretty silver dragées too, if anyone can tell me where in the heck I can find them). I'm not interested in stealing his thunder, I merely want to express how outrageously thrilled I am that--you've read the status, yes? And left a comment (or at least a "like")? Ok--how outrageously thrilled I am that, after one-and-a-half years of heavy hunting, he finally found a job in Big D and will be working/living within 30 miles of my house by the beginning of September! That's right, folks, long distance no more! Imagine all the dinners we'll share in the middle of the week! And the lunches we'll meet up for during the work-day! And oh, what's that you hear? Why, it's the Earth rejoicing over how much gas we'll save now that our commute to see one another has experienced a 90% decrease. Sing, ye birdies!
The first order of business is to find a fabulous one-bedroom oasis for Sean that's near a park, in a good area, equipped with a fireplace for roasting marshmallows, and not terribly expensive. The next is to furnish said oasis with second-hand wares that we won't mind discarding should we find something better when we get hitched. I, of course, have embraced both of the challenges with so much gusto. I'm excited to be involved in the hunt because I know I'll be spending an inordinate amount of time in the oasis, so I want it to be awesome. And I'm especially excited about the furnishings because I've been itching to put all of my new HGTV knowledge to use for the past six months and this is my chance oh dear Sean PLEASE LET ME PAINT AT LEAST ONE WALL!
The third (and perhaps most important) order of business is to celebrate this exciting new chapter in Sean's life. And where else should we opt to go but the one city in the world that's always game for a celebration--Vegas, baby! As soon as Sean's tenure is up with his current employer, we're hitting the strip. Maybe we'll come back so rich that Sean won't even have to start his new job. Or maybe we'll come back married. Who knows? The only things of which I am certain are that we will eat at In-And-Out Burger, we will see Cirque Du Soleil, and we will, for once in our lives, enjoy Fabulous August!

I bought my dragees at HEB- in the specialty section that's down the baking isle- they're "French Dragees" and they had silver ones and a pretty pastel-ish mix.
Wow that was cake-baking nerdy. :)
