Bling. Bling.
Well, we hate to post things out of order… but, we have a big fat announcement to make: We won the California State Lottery for $287.5 million!
Just kidding. But just a couple of days ago in a little town called San Francisco, we got engaged. Nick popped the question with a gi-normous diamond ring (okay, maybe it was plastic) over an even huger-er brownie sundae from the bay area’s finest ice cream shop, Bi-Rite Creamery. Emily could barely find the right words to accept, since her mouth was full of ice cream and dripping with caramel sauce.
The next day, we set out on the town to find a real ring to replace the spoof (Nick thought he had Emily fooled). Nick did a bit of math to figure out what he should spend (two months of salary at $0/month equals…), but we ended up finding a beautiful antique ring from the 1920’s which Emily fell in love with, and then proceeded to accidentally flush down the toilet.
Again, kidding. We lived happily ever after.

MAD PROPS YO!!!!!! i’m insanely happy for the two of you!!! i’m even happier that emily agreed that the two of us can continue with our thing on the side! i love the choice of ring too… 1920s vintage will make it conflict-free, probably low in carbon (no recent jet travel from Africa), with a recycled/reusable theme as well. this union is off to a great green start! much love!!!

Nick!! (and Emily, though I’ve never met you I have heard about you and am sure you are fabulous!) Oh my goodness, congratulations! I’ve been reading the blog and living vicariously through you while you’ve been on your great adventure, and I am just so happy for you! Congratulations again, hopefully we will talk again soon (whether or not you actually come back to M+R).
