The Engagement-Grief & Happiness

Yes, you read that right! The day finally came; my boyfriend got down on a knee and asked me if I’d spend the rest of my life with him. It was a special moment I’ll hold and cherish forever. It was weird, but in a wonderful way, and it was overwhelming, but in a peaceful way; it was a whirlwind. I stood there, watching him talk but not able to listen, just embracing the fact that this very moment is proabably the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.

I’ll avoid filling this post with a bunch of moosh…for now. Stop holding your breath for all the romance details, it’s not happening.

I knew it was coming, you knew it was coming, we all knew. I’ve posted and shared a lot of our story here on the blog. AND I KNOW, I KNOW, you’ve all begged and pleaded for a wedding series, even years before the possibility of an engagement. We’ll see if I make it a series, or if I just document… The void left by Mom’s passing seems to be growing larger, especially as I plan wedding details that I had expected to do with her help. It’s all much more challenging than I had anticipated.

But, we’re here, and this is how my life has turned out.

I had always imagined myself having doubts or struggling with agreeing to such a significant commitment, but I experienced none of those feelings. It truly was the easiest, happiest, and most important moment of my life.

I’ll be trying to post more frequently. Thx for reading.
