Yes, It's a Doctored Photograph to Make Her Fingers Look Longer (But She Hates the Color). Nikkerdoodles is Going to Get Married!

My dental recovery day turned out to be interesting on multiple levels. One, I woke up feeling little to no pain. Two, I talked to Chitunga at length (who was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa). Three, I got overly involved with a book chapter needing to be written and cranked out quite a bit in one day. Four, Mike and Cynde kept calling, oddly. Five, Nikki called to share she was engaged (but the photo she sent had no fingernails...Adamo's direction to Cynde were to have her get her nails done, because Nikki always said she didn't want a photo with bad nails. She got a pedicure instead). And Six, all I've had to eat is two bowls of chicken noodle soup. 

Ah, but the sun is scheduled to come out today and that will ad to the day of happiness that came from yesterday. I wasn't expecting that, and both Cynde and Mike were expecting to be able to tell me sooner, but Adamo took his sweet time. They knew for months, but didn't know when. They had a hunch it would be yesterday. 

Now that I look at it, the nails do look like a color my mom would wear (wait....does she still have bottles of nail polish lying all around the house...I don't think I've see that the last few times I visited)

I'm super happy for the two of them and can't believe how fast time goes by...we were just watching Nikki's precocious dance and song performances with her crowns and feather boas (note to self: Remind Cynde and Mike to share these videos with Nikki's fiance). 

It's wonderful to welcome another member to the family and I look forward to all still to come.

And this is the before picture. Her hands are cute, and look how elongated those phalanges are. We've go to hand it to her (ba dum dum ch).

I should also probably announce to them that I'm getting ordained to marry a couple this upcoming May in case they are looking to hire anyone. Karal said she can easily be a ring-bearer or flower girl if they need one. Also, I can bartend, because Nikki loves my Moscow Mules, especially after eating salad and going swimming with her mom.

Stay tuned. I'm sure there's more to come.
