My life right now is in the midst of a serious overhaul. The two roads diverged in the yellow wood have revealed themselves to me and I had to choose which one to take. It has come to be that time in my life where I have to grow up and start living my life as an adult, instead of living in an adolescent fantasy.
I haven’t been updating much, but a lot of exciting things have been happening to me. One of the biggest of them all is not a thing, but a person. My love life struggles have been no secret on this blog, and many of you know the trouble I have been having with boys. Well my friends, I am happy to report that my boy issues are gone for good.
Once I started to give up on any hope of a romantic relationship, I was blind-sided. I stopped looking and he just fell into my lap. Brad and I have been friends for a really long time, but I lost touch with him when he joined the navy. I was always attracted to him, but due to circumstances beyond my control, we never had the opportunity to explore it.
A couple of months ago, Brad and I began talking again and before I knew it we were talking everyday for hours on end. Our friendship slowly transformed itself into something much more, and I don’t think we had much control over it. I was starting to think that soul mates were just urban legend, but I am now thoroughly convinced that they are a definite reality. Brad and I just make sense. It feels like it should have always been, and because of the intense love we have for one another, we are now engaged!!!! I went from a series of unfortunate experience with the wrong kind of man, to uncovering my future husband and the love of my life. Brad said it best the other day when he told me the best things in life often have the most difficult obstacles.
My engagement isn’t the only news I have. Tomorrow, Brad’s mother is going to be making the 5 hour drive up to Tallahassee to pick me and my things up. She made her mind up and decided that she was going to rescue me from Tallahassee and bring me home with her and adopt me. I tried to fight it at first, but I desperately miss home, need to feel mommy love again, and like that I will get to know my new Mom-In-Law before Brad gets home. I am going to be living with her and her boyfriend.
Brad is in the Navy and is currently stationed in Rota, Spain. Its torture, but he will be coming home to me sometime in July. His new assignment is going to be at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California. He starts there on August 15 so we have over a month to vacation and spend lots of time together. I am so excited and nervous about moving across the country. I love California, though, and can’t wait to live blocks away from the beach. Its going to be an experience.
The next few months are going to be spent planning my dream wedding and serious house hunting on the internet. My dream is to have a beach wedding and I plan on wearing a white bikini as opposed to a wedding dress. The reception is going to be a luau and everything is going to be really laid back. I plan on making my own wedding cake which will be awesome. Its going to be perfect because I don’t like staying inside the box.
So there you have it. What do you guys think about me chronicling my wedding planning from start to finish? I also want to focus the blog on being a newly wed Navy housewife. I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.
Ps. The other day my older sister, Jessica, had way to much fun uploading a bunch of old pictures to her facebook with nothing better to do on a rainy day. Here is one of the more embarrassing ones of me. I know many of you are a fan of my Cousin Graduate Meghann and the picture was actually taken in her bedroom. She had a little too much fun playing dress up with me.
Meghann also posted a few on her blog so go check it out if you want to see more embarrassing pictures of me as a kid!
Now its bed time because i have a really big day ahead of me tomorrow! Good Night Blog world!!!<3
Congrats, girl! Glad things are looking up
