Eli: I want to marry him so badly, even that sounds good

Eli: I swear if he laughs, I may never recover

Eli: Unless he's laughing and also crying because he's so happy

Bailey: Oliver Maney would never laugh at such a gesture.

Bailey: He loves you too much.

Eli: Knot cufflinks because I want to tie the knot.....too corny?

Eli: YOU'RE BRILLIANT

Eli: I LOVE YOU

Eli: Side note, I was looking at Cartier's website in homage to the great Marilyn, and wow, have the mighty fallen.

Eli: Or have they always been this tacky?

Bailey: That's what my husband tells me every day.

Bailey: I think it's been their curse from the start.

Eli: St8 supremacy must be stopped

Eli: What if he doesn't want a ring and would prefer to buy wedding bands together later?

Eli: Has he ever talked to you about what he'd want for a proposal?

Bailey: Not that I can think of. Sorry, friend.

Bailey: So maybe not an engagement ring, but something else? You could make him something in the warehouse. Use whatever materials you need.

Bailey: Propose with a new scarf lol

Bailey: OH WAIT WHAT ABOUT SOME CUSTOM CUFFLINKS?

Eli: Platinum it is

Eli: How is it that I searched "platinum engagement ring for men" on Etsy and STILL got results for women in the first row?

Eli: I am most certainly not buying a ring from an Insta ad, what do you take me for?

Eli: I've just seen some sterling silver options, and I'm not into that. Don't want to get him something that he'll have to polish all the time

Eli: At the least, it has to be gold. What do you think, yellow or white gold?

Eli: Or should I spring for platinum?

Eli: You'd think the marriage industrial complex would have created more options for men and yet....

Eli: Fine, I'll get on Pintrest. I've been surviving on Instagram alone for so long, but it needs the assist

Eli: I'd like to do etsy and help a small business, but I also don't want to cheap out on this

Bailey: If you buy him a ring from an Instagram ad, I'll choke you with silk.

Eli: Do people still use pintrest?

Eli: I....have no idea right now

Eli: The more I think about it, it just feels right with everything

Eli: I want the rest of our lives together

Eli: But seriously, should I get on pintrest?

Bailey: Eli, how do you work for me and not have a Pintrest account? YES, GET ON PINTREST.

Eli: I'm proposing to Oliver at Thanksgiving

Eli: I was hoping to get your opinion on some rings

Bailey: I JUST got Miles down for a nap. Otherwise I'd call you screaming.

Bailey: Absolutely! Do you have ideas already? Send me the Pinterest board. Or are you shopping on Etsy?

Eli: Hey

Eli: Can you keep a secret?

Bailey: Not always.

I was more thinking like candles, but masks would be so cute!

Jewelry would be even cuter, but I don’t know the first thing about that.

Okay, I definitely can’t market candles. Less offended.

Well, it gets easier as they get older, so keeping them alive is just fine.

We’re doing….better. Work’s been a little slow for Coop with the pandemic, but it’s starting to pick up again. I’ve been thinking of opening an etsy shop or something.

Oh my god, selling what?! Like, I totally support you having your own shop, but you know that I’d give you a line in my company if you’re doing jewelry or masks or something. I’m actually kind of offended.

I would never. Who knows, maybe Charlie’ll get more difficult as he gets older and having Miles now is perfect. His little itty bitty face sure is perfect.

I know, I know.

Knock on goddamn wood. I have no idea how to do any of this and I’m not sure I’m succeeding at much more than keeping them alive.

I barely remember the first couple months. The twins rarely left our bedroom I think. It also helped that Marco was a little older.

Is it crazy that I kind of want another one?

So we timed this poorly is what you’re saying. Not that it was timed at all actually.

Don’t worry, I’ll help with both!

I just want to pinch those itty bitty baby cheeks.

They’re ripe for the picking. I don’t know how you do this. Having two at the same time.
