One Year Ago Today

One year ago today, something amazing happened. One year ago today, J asked me to marry him and become his wife.

I laugh still thinking about it. How I was totally surprised and how I hit him because he surprised me. I didn't think he was going to be able to surprise me. It's been an incredible journey this past year and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

In three weeks, we will come to the end of this journey and the start of another long one. I will become Mrs. Jerry Valentine and there's nothing in the world I would rather be. I love you baby. Happy Engagement Anniversary. Let's do this thing!

I love this man

Scandal!

I looked at my reader for the Courier Journal and I see this article. It's about Louisville Male High School and it involves (wait for it).

He was the assistant principal when I was there but it still was just as funny. I remember Mr. Wilson well and I'm not going to say that I am totally shocked. But I am tickled to death in a funny sort of way. I had heard he was retiring but I guess not in a happy retirement kind of way.

Oh Mr. Wilson, what have you done. /giggle

Happy Birthday Mrs. Crocker!

It's my mom's birthday today! I won't reveal her age but let me tell you, she looks way younger than she is. I do have good genes. *brushes shoulders off*.

So we are starting off her birthday by going to church. For all of those who know me, I do not go to church. It's a personal choice since I don't agree with some of the things the church teaches. But I came for my mom because she always likes to have all of her girls with her (even though Danielle and Kimberly went to their other church but that's another story).

We're having dinner at the house later which will be nice. My mom is a wonderful woman. And even though she can drive me crazy sometimes I still love her. I know there are people out there who can't have their moms with them so I am grateful.

Happy Birthday Mom! You are Teh Awesome!

Lucky

I know I've probably posted on this before. But I have to say it again. Right now, I feel rich beyond all belief. And of course I'm not talking about money, because I don't have much of that at all.

I have my family. We are all so close and I love them so much. My sisters are my closest friends and I don't know what I would do without them. I am blessed to have parents who love us and love each other. I feel so wonderful to have them.

I have my friends. I have wonderful friends who are fiercely loyal and I never tire of their company. I can speak my mind without guilt and it's awesome to have a set of people around that make you feel good just by being with them.

I have my love. J is always there for me. He is the one who makes me smile every day and and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life as his wife. He's gentle, kind, funny and considerate. You judge a person by how they treat other people, not just how they treat you. He's amazing and I am so glad that he chose me.

So, I feel extremely lucky and rich. I've made a lot of mistakes in my past and a lot of times, I feel that I don't deserve the wealth that I have right now. Material possessions are nothing if you don't have people you care about by your side. Be thankful for what you have. Others surely have less.

Insane...yes...in the Membrane

Everything is so crazy here lately. Wedding planning is kicking into high gear so I don't have much time to breath, let alone post. But I promise you that I am still alive and kickin'. Just feeling a bit crazy and insane from all that I have to take care of.

I did have some thoughts the other day. When Patrick Swayze passed away, why in the heck were people joking about it? Yes, I know he's a celebrity and he lived in the public eye, but what gives people the gall to joke about him dying? That just pissed me off to no end the other day. I know everybody has different types of humor but that's just definitely not mine.

I'm so thankful for J for holding me down right now. He definitely makes this life worth living. Thanks Babe :)

P.S. Had some crab rangoon that was fan-freakin-tastic!

The Two Perfect

I saw the two of the most perfect for each other people get married this past weekend. I usually am not a crier, but as they danced their first dance and she danced with her father, the tears flowed. They were so beautiful and so true. You could tell their love was the real thing and I was glad to be able to witness it.

Whoever you love, make sure you love them to the fullest. Give them your all and never let them go. I am feeling sentimental at the moment, so forgive me. Time for me to get a hug from the one that I love to the fullest.
