Betsy Transatlantically: Frock Fridays: Date Night

Jon and I were apart for fifteen weeks after I moved back to DC from London - fifteen weeks, which is 105 days or 2,520 hours or 525,600 minutes. No, wait, that's Rent. My bad. But it seemed like an excruciatingly long time!

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...
