Dulcius Ex Asperis

A few things that have been coming to mind...

I am less than six months away from marrying the boy of my dreams, and though there is still a lot to get done, I simply cannot wait.

I have a difficult decision regarding my real father coming very soon. I must really think about this one.

The most amazing opportunity in the form of a job has come my way and you can now call me a Fashion Editor and Marketing Associate for three Internationally distributed music magazines. (woot woot!)

One of the most important women in my life is living more and more healthy and happy every day.

The most horrible of people that I used to know are out of my life.

I see moving in my very near future.

... and I am so happy...

Somebody found her wedding dress yesterday...

and she sure feels like a princess.

My immediate family has doubled in size

I have, in the past year, accumulated 6 new family members. This has not been through marriage or birth, but by perfect timing and the willingness of these beings to open their hearts and home to me.

They have helped me to understand even more so than I already had, that family really is the most important thing anyone will ever know.
They are strong and beautiful, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to call them my family, and will stand beside them through everything life throws us.

God dammit, we're making lemonade!

i was hoping i wouldn't be doing this.

i'm sick. blah.

i started feeling kinda poopy thursday evening. i woke up yesterday feeling like death. today was the same. i think the dayquil has just decided to start working even though i've been taking it for 2 days. ian has been so sweet. we were supposed to go see the wedding venue we want again today. i just couldn't do it. i feel bad. he's been making me tea, and he made me breakfast this morning. we laid in bed and watched 'pursuit of happyness' too. if i wasn't feeling so crappy i would say that today has been a pretty great sunday. because i've got my baby.

My wonderful news.

it has been a few weeks (at least) since i updated on here. i am on often, and keep up with friends' entries (just so you all know), but i don't get the urge to write about my own life too often.

this, however, is a special time in my life. a very special, once in a lifetime, couldn't be more perfect, never been happier, everything is coming together, new additions to my family, smiling so much that my cheeks swell like a chipmunk's and they hurt because i am so so so happy, time.

so...
ian and i are officially engaged to be married. we went to seattle on the 17th of this month. he asked my brother's permission on the 19th. and then proposed to me on the 20th while we were still in seattle.

we're thinking october/november 2008.

and nothing has ever felt more amazing.

i really am the luckiest girl.
