M and I are both pretty slack with the mail which means we only check it once a week or days we know there should be a movie from Netflix.  I reminded M the other day that said movie should be in the mail.  Well you can only guess my surprise to walk in and find a multitude of cards lined up on the counter.  My first words to M were “I get to open cards!” to which he replied that his name was on them too.  Anyway the soon to be relatives across the pond are in full on excitement mode and flooded our house with various Happy Engagement cards.

I found this to be very touching.  I managed to meet everyone in M’s family, on both sides, during our trip to London last fall.  It is nice to see their excitement for us in card form inscribed with congratulatory wishes.  All of which are currently displayed on the counter.
