Hey ya'll!
Well, I just got back from vacation on Saturday and it was AMAZING! It was a 6-day cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize, and Mahogany Bay. The weather was perfect, the company was great and I GOT ENGAGED!!
First, I'll like to tell you how it happened... During our visit to Cozumel, Mexico, we were all going in and out of several stores, checking out the wares in each one and taking advantage of the air conditioning wherever we could find one. *heehee While perusing one of the jewelry stores, I begin the process of looking for my birthstone in a ring. While taking forever to find anything that was unique enough to keep my attention, Baby just casually says, "Why don't you marry me?", I looked up from the display case and say, "Just like that, huh?" he replied, "Yeah" and I replied back with 'Yeah". Romantic, huh? lol.. Well, maybe not in the normal sense of the word but this was so... US! And it was perfect for me. He later informed me he'd meant to wait until his birthday, a month away, to ask but .... I guess he was moved. And I loved that movement! Next stop, although I'm still partial on getting finger tattoos myself, I guess we'll be shopping for an actual engagement ring instead of a birthstone placeholder. We'll see....
I've semi-announced it, on Facebook of all places, because I think I've been in a little bit of shock. I want to scream it out to the world. Because I love this man and he gets me on a level that still surprises me. We have a few things to get together before the knots are officially tied and as for the wedding and reception, I, being a certified event planner (and a frugal human being) am planning the majority of it all. I want to be all hands in, although I know many warn against this, but I'm a seasoned individual and feel at this moment, on June 14th, 2018 at 3:06p, EDT, that I can do it without any major arteries popping. I also have this burning desire to prove a wedding and reception can be quite lovely without being a major expense!
I will be documenting it all along the way too...pictures, mindset, processes, etc! By the end of all the planning, I want to be able to present YOU with a tangible guide, to be of use to you and/or someone you know!
In the midst of all the excitement, it was suggested I write my memoir...and I absolutely LOVE the idea of it! So, I will also be starting that endeavor, sharing who I am and how I got to be where I am today. Telling all about "knowing" things without quite understanding to do so was not normal; to almost getting kidnapped in the deep south (where I was born and raised) by an elderly Caucasian male driving a light blue pickup truck; through time spent oversees in exotic places during the beginning of my military career; through a 23-year marriage, infidelity and forgiveness; dating again after 40 and now, at 51, being an Intuitive Transformation Love Coach, about to jump the broom once again! Whew.... yeah.
Stay tuned, heck...go ahead and subscribe so I'll know you're here! It's going to be a trip as I go back to come forward. But I look forward to the journey. I'd love it if you came along with me. <3
