*birthday* party TURNED *engagement* party!!

my good friend Carlo's 26th birthday dinner was this past Friday,

& right before the main course came out,

he *popped the question* to his girlfriend, Natalie

Carlo & Natalie,

I wish you a lovely

engagement, &

a happy journey to marriage & beyond!

[yay!]

Elisa's showing him some love...

my Nana used to call it 'gravy'.

Tomas took this pic of me off guard, & then said,

"THIS IS YOUR MOM."

Yeah.

Kinda is.

[...and random observation:

my lips are like my body: bottom-heavy]
