In the year since I last posted so much has happened..Yes, he has been divorced..Thank freakin' God..It took it's long ass time but finally over..Not, all is over though..The unamicableness (if there's such a word) is definitely not there from the over side, but, hey she's not my problem, she can be someone else's problem..But, anywho, we had our first holidays and they were wonderful to spend it with Patrick and my daughters..Christmas was hard for them, I know..But, all in time..Spring finally came and my mood improved, I do suffer from that seasonal depression..Hate, Hate the cold..One day we'll be in warmer climate..We took a family vacation for the first time since Patrick and I have been together and we went to Florida to visit family and some grammar school friends..It was great to see family and friends..I did miss them so much..I went on a wave runner for the first time and Kate was my back seat partner...We had a blast, it was so much fun to hit that throttle and tell Kate to hold on..I thought I was gonna loose her a couple times but she was a trooper and held on to my life jacket..heheh I'm chuckling as I type it..
We came home and I had the best 2 surprises during the first week home..The first one came when I spoke to my dearest and bestest friend Barbara..I thought she was in Texas, which is where she lives with her hubby Willie, and to my surprise when she asked me if she could get some Italian food..I asked her Hey, are in NJ since you asked that? and sure as heck she was..I told her to please come for dinner and be sure it will be Italian..She and Willie arrived to our home and it was such a great feeling to see my buddy..She looked fantastic since her surgery..She lost so much weight, heck she's smaller then me..I'm so proud of her, her journey was a long and hard one for years and now she is one the road to fulfillment..Congrats Barb !!!
Now, the second surprise was the day after we saw Barbara and Willie, my beloved sweet boyfriend Patrick proposed..He surprised me with going down on his right knee and asked me to be his wife..I was shocked, I mean we spoke about marriage many times but I just didn't think he was going to ask now..I was so happy and I could have jumped up onto the clouds..I did say YES, and we sat down weeks later and set our date..August 26, 2011 on the beach of Sea Bright, here in NJ...Since then, I went dress shopping with my mom, Julie (our Goddaughter) and her friend Nicole (sweet girl) I found my dress at David's Bridal and I totally fell head over heels in LOVE with my dress..It was the 8 or 9th one I tried on..My mom picked her dress style and color..Beautiful dress she choose..I asked mom if Patrick would love my dress, she smiles and said oh honey, absolutely..I know I'll be a beautiful bride for my groom..We booked the DJ at the end of Oct, and now we're on the hunt for a photographer..That part is going to be hard because I'm so picky..Our pictures are so important to me, after that day, that's what we have as our memories of our special day..I so can't wait to walk down that sandy aisle to my sexy, handsome groom with those gorgeous hazel eyes..
We are now in Nov, with about 9 months to go and lots to do.. Thanksgiving is weeks away and then the craziness starts of the Christmas season..The gift shopping, tree trimming and Christmas dinner here at our house..I will post again before then..I promise not to let so much time go by again..OH btw, I revamped my scrapbook room a bit..A new square counter height table, and my brown leather stool..Just love it..I have also been purging..Feels good to purge..I know Otto is up there saying "Throw it all out" LOL.. Take care til I post again...
