Fitzgerald Family Fables

A Long, Eventful Day Part One: Engagement Photoshoot Part Two: The Wedding But the wedding wasn't the only important thing happening in the Fitzgerald household... *** Mostly wordless, but I thought the pictures spoke for themselves. Also, Artie is officially a toddler now and I'm caught back up to gameplay.

Happy Holidays!

Though now that I think about it, that would make a rather good title for a Drop Down Dudes song. "You know I'm always here for you, right?" More of a pause. "...Babe?" "So I've got something to tell you..." Unloading all my shit on Joaquin at once? Maybe not the smartest move. But hey, it had to happen sometime. Besides, if he was gonna back out, better now than after things escalated further than they already had. We sat there together for a few moments in silence - comfortable, with him contemplating the fact I'd literally appeared out of the goddamn sky one day and all that jazz with my mom and the fact we may or may not be parents in a few months, depending on what we d...
