Talking Huge news!!!

Hi, guys! Sorry I haven't been around for a while.

I'm just popping in to make an announcement....

Come June 2018, we are officially transitioning from a family of 7 to a family of 11! I was proposed to on New Year's Eve, and I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!

My fiancé, Nathan, is a father of three boys, ages 10, 11, and 13. He himself is one of 10 children, so the idea of a big family appeals to him. He and the boys are going to move into this house, since I obviously have more space. We are working out who is going to bunk where. I've been seeing him for a few months, but I haven't mentioned him here because I didn't want to say anything until I was sure he was going to stick around.

Oh, and come June, somebody remind me to change my last initial on my screen name.

God is SOOOOO good!

MAJOR joy!!! My mother has been practically bouncing off the walls with the idea of giving me a "proper" wedding in a church in a "proper" wedding dress this time around rather than a "hurry-up-and-get-it-done-before-her-water-breaks" ceremony at the courthouse. And I am ECSTATIC that my dad will get to walk me down the aisle and dance with me at the reception before he forgets who I am.
