Lots of little bits of good news today!
1) One of my work friends is expecting her first baby! I'm so happy for her! She and her H are going to make awesome parents. Also selfishly, this means I'll have somebody who's been there, done that regarding our firm's maternity policies when it's my time around within the next couple of years.
2) The dental work I need will be partially covered under my new health insurance. My recruiter was really helpful and sent over the full plan documents, not just the new hire brochure. Looks like I'll be able to get up to the plan max of $2000/year. Since I'll start the dental work this fall, we should be able to spread out the billing over two years and take $4000 off the total cost. It's still a fuckton of money but that's like 30% less than I thought I'd be out. So I'll take it.
3) Fi and I are planning a romantic mini-cation weekend. We got the idea from Groupon but figured we can do it cheaper ourselves. Camping and hiking in the Hudson Valley, then visit a couple of wineries in that area.
4) We're getting our engagement photos taken this Sunday, yay! I have no idea what I will wear or how I'll do hair and makeup. I get to play around in the next few days and be girly while I figure it out.
Anybody else have good news to share? Tips for engagement photos, or good wineries near Ulster County?
