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!

Re: Huge news!!!
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.
