Listen, any time you need to tag in a fellow grumbly football player, I got you. Or, if you need someone to commiserate with, Chris is an excellent resource. I'm always happy to be there for him, good and bad. Same goes for you, too. Any time you need me, you got me. It's that whole in-law thing we've now got going for us. Hey, if I'm a fellow passenger, it can't be that bad. Besides, the day they turn to me to take over the flight is the day that shit has officially gone to hell in a hand basket, and we've got much bigger problems. You settling into all of that engaged person bliss?

Honestly, you're both part of the family and that will never change, pinky promise. So right back at you. Whatever you need, whatever Chris needs. Sister-in-law? Please, don't make me emotional now. I love this for us. You're right, let's just hope neither of us ever has to fly a whole damn plane. Unless it's for a movie. I'd do it then. I am, I am! It's been amazing. Like seriously...he's making me the happiest I've ever been and I can't wait for the whole married part of it all. And seeing his joy too? The best.

I will have to let you know because I’m still in the early days of it. I’m sure soon I’ll be crying that I officially hit the old club and want to turn back.

If you do start to feel like you're part of the old club, just go and have a party with River. That should help right away!

I feel that. Sometimes it’s nice to just keep it a you thing and let people find out slowly! No need to plaster that shit everywhere. Damn now that’s another wedding for me to look forward to. Me and Shawn are clearly trendsetters.

Yeah, totally. Just bask in it and then bask in it some more once people do find out and you can tell the story all over again ha. Well duh, no one would get married right now if you and Shawn wouldn't have!

You would think! Sorry you had to deal with that. I can imagine how annoying it was. If they were trying to make it up to you, what would they have to do?

That's a good mindset. Sometimes it can just sink you in. That's why I got off Twitter, but sometimes Instagram and Tik Tok comments can be just as brutal. Mmmmhm, now that we have loads to celebrate! Where do we begin?

Yeah, you and me both. I stay away from most social media as much as possible at this point. But like...sometimes I just don't want to constantly limit myself. Maybe I should make a private account after all. I don't know! Maybe we begin by you telling me how Nick ended up on your story yesterday?

Private: Haha, well that's an idea but I want it to be just her space. I'm sure she'd love your idea, especially if she gets to paint me but I want her to just have her own little area where she doesn't have to worry about me or the dogs interrupting her, you know?

Private: I have a feeling she wouldn't be opposed to it at all. Like not at all. But totally get where you're coming from. You want to make sure she has her space that's just hers and that's beautiful.

I live by no one's rules but my own. Well obviously, I would never have such a special day without you.

And I hope it's always going to stay that way! It's special. Awww, you're so cute. I'm glad and I can't wait!

Private: Matt's already kind of helping me, making sure Tobin doesn't just drop by house next Friday. I'm having a shed built in my back yard next week, plan was to have it be a yoga studio for myself but I'm making into an art studio for Tobin. So basically I just need to make sure she doesn't see me moving art supplies instead of yoga mats. And... when it's done and I show it to her... I think I'm gonna ask her to move in with me. Luckily it's not too long of a wait...

Private: That's totally fine, just know that if there is anything else I'm ready! But also AAAH! That's such an amazing idea and I'm sure she's absolutely going to love the surprise. That's a big step, but seeing you both together last week...I have no doubts that she'd love to move in with you. Also bonus: You could put a yoga mat in her art studio and she can paint you, ha. No it really isn't all that long, but it can feel long.

You would think everyone has a certain level of common sense in their every day life, but more times than not people show the opposite. Hope it's not gonna turn into a whole neighborhood war type thing for you though!

And that's probably much easier said than done.

One thousand percent true. I usually tell Trav everything.

Madelyn: That's what the little mixers are for. It's genuinely like a college sorority. I say as if I didn't drop out of college halfway through the first semester.

Oh damn, even better. That's true! And we know I never like doing things traditionally. Not really. I mean we're going to have a ceremony type deal after the fact so I do get an actual wedding. But I get two instead of one.

You just do your own thing always and I love that about you. It's something I've always admired, babes. Just like you always look at the bright side. I love this. And I hope I get to celebrate the second one with you!

I hope you got nice comments and ignored all the ugly ones. Although, I know it's really hard, even when it's your happy moment and nothing else should matter. I am! Here for a bit, I assume, or at least until the album comes out.

I tried to for the most part. There'll always be idiots who comment stupid stuff. I've learned to just accept that and move on. That's awesome. We should totally make sure to meet up.
