Since I flew over for a visit in September (read about that here, here, here, here, and here) and Jon's landing at Dulles next Saturday, this stretch of long distance will have only been eight weeks and two days long. That's almost nothing, right? But I'm still beyond excited to see him next weekend and to share Thanksgiving with him. This is Jon's third holiday with my family, so he knows what he's in for - and he knows what he'll be saying "I do" to in less than a year!
We've got a lot of low-key plans on top of the usual Thanksgiving festivities, like happy hours with friends and an outing to register for wedding gifts and possibly a road trip to Charlottesville, but we're also going to go on a real date to celebrate our four year anniversary, which was in mid-October. I feel like I should va-va-voom it up for the occasion, don't you? The boy needs some American glamour in his gloomy English life...

What a classy dress! I say yes, va va voom it up. maybe throw some heels in there with the outfit? An anniversary date after 8 weeks deserves some glamour, in my opinion!
ReplyDeletethanks! and, this time, I actually have something similar in my closet :)
ReplyDeleteI think the shoes up there are heels (though you can't see because of the angle) - I just might ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this dress. Perfect for the holiday season!

No matter how many times Jurgen and I do long distance it never seems to get any better! I am terrible at long distance :/ So I don't blame you for being so excited to see Jon - Jurgen is only out of town for the weekend and I miss him already :) Love the outfit... he's not going to know what hit him! <3
