[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]My collection of crowned jewels jewelry has grown to include three very important items since January 9, 2011: two marathon medals and one very sparkly engagement ring. Truth be told, I expected (and hoped!) that Nick and I would get married.

Today: The waiting game.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am pretty sure I have packed any and everything I could possibly need for this weekend. And then some. I’ve looked at the course map more times than I can count, and Googled “how to get to the Staten Island ferry” more…
