so other than what my signature so bluntly says, other things have happened in the past year...
yes im engaged. we actually were engaged around 1 am on mothers day (may 13th) so when i gave my mother flowers i stuck my left hand right in her face. it was a great gift to my mom. she has been waiting for me and him to take this step and cant wait. Dress shopping with her really was a great bonding moment.
i hadnt expected robert to ask until after our 1 year anniversary (aug 9th) but nope he asked sooner i guess knowing i wouldnt expect it. I was falling asleep with him cuddled behind me and i felt the bed move and when my eyes opened there was a beautiful diamond ring.
i didnt sleep til 3 am
we are doing really well and planning has definitely been an experience. We are getting married at this gorgeous outside chapel and courtyard thats just a few miles from where we are living now.
life is really good right now. I also got my license as a registered facial specialist and am working on a career as a esthetician and a makeup artist (mainly going for bridal and possibly print work). Things arent easy starting out but im going to hang on and dig my claws in when i finally get a good opportunity.
Rayray...some of you might remember her. well she is over in italy with her hubby, who is in the airforce now. I miss her to death...she wont be able to make my wedding because
SHE'S HAVING HER FIRST BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe...its due literally 4 days after the wedding lol...so no flying sadly. but im happy for her.
my aunt, who was also doing MF is not able to. her health is not good.
one of the reasons we wanted to get married sooner rather than later, im so scared she may not be there for it. (she may not since her daughter is having a baby) but regardless i want her to at least be able to see pics of the wedding. Her heart is gradually getting worse and now she is at stage 4 kidney failure. stage five means dialysis and i hate to think she might end up there sooner than we hope. add her diabetes in and well...its all a bad combo. i love her and i hate to thing of the truth that she may not have as much time as all of us hope. she cant due MF due to potassium and is on a strict renal diet.
anyways... so for the most part life is good. im doing this for me, but my aunt is the one who showed me this way to lose so im forever in her debt. she is an amazing woman and i also want to make her proud by taking care of myself. I know she is already very happy about the wedding, as she has helped out with alot of the ideas for it.
so thats the update on how life is.
for any of u that may have missed me. if not this is an intro for the rest i suppose lol
