Shavua Tov (and by Shavua [week], I mean the remaining day before Shabbat). I hope that your fasts were meaningful and not too physically taxing, and that you had good davening (praying) experiences.
The big news is that TC and I are engaged. So, his name on this blog will now be TF (The Fiance, of course). I am really excited. I'm also kind of freaked out. With both of us looking for jobs, and my trying to finish my dissertation, there is a lot of uncertainty right now, and I don't deal that well with uncertainty. But I can't complain. I love him. I want us to be together.
I'm not sure what the future of this blog holds. I guess I can change the name, or not. I don't want it to be the kind of blog where I complain about wedding planning, since if any blog had featured such complaints a year ago, I would have been really annoyed by it. I also think I should tell TF about the blog if it continues to be active, but I would have to sanitize it if I did. There's stuff about his mom and our earlier relationship. Also, even if I did sanitize it, I don't know if my usual kvetching about all things Jewish would seem incredibly snarky to him (he is virtually snark-free). I'm not saying I would modify it just on his say-so, but I'm trying to pick my battles, since he has been very accomodating about those aspects of the wedding about which we have already talked.
So I won't make any decisions right now, but that's what's currently going on. Shabbat Shalom!
