We went out for a lovely dinner, drank quite a bit of wine, and afterwards, despite my protests about the cold and my three-inch heels, Katsumi dragged me past our car to “show me something”.

He still can’t talk about it without getting nauseous. I, on the other hand, drunk-dialed everyone I knew, including my parents, which may or may not have been a good idea. Luckily, they were too busy shrieking with joy to realize that their newly engaged daughter couldn’t put two words together end to end.

I plan on celebrating for the next five or six weeks straight, so please send moet chandon and a big box of advil!
