HUGE Life Changing Chapter!

It's been forever since I've written, but I was shocked at myself when I noticed that I hadn't shared the big news!! 

It all started over a year ago when a girl and a guy bonded over a certain doctor (more info on that here and here) and that guy made a very big decision that was going to change both of their lives.

On July 19, 2013 that guy made this girl the happiest one in the world. Just watch:

This man is a gift from God and I'm so lucky that he was made just for me. He is my missing piece. We've been engaged a little over 4 months and I'm still in the clouds. I'm the luckiest woman in the world that I get to call him my husband next March :)

Also, he went to Jared ;) 

And, yes, he picked it out himself! Got me a keeper ;)

Wedding plans have been in the works for a while now and things are coming together perfectly! Of course I'm rushing things because we really only get the weekends to get anything done, but hey, what can I say? I'm excited :)

We are so blessed and give all praise to God for this amazing chapter in our lives. He is the only one that has made all of this possible. :) He is the center of all we do and we can't wait to see what He has in store for us. :)

Come on March 29th!!

So, this is love :)

This is a continuation of when Ian and I first started out (find that here).

So, after he accepted my friend request, that was about all that happened. I was busy with summer school work (and trust me, there was TONS of that! So thankful to be done with those classes) and he was busy with work (I guess, I never really asked what he had been up to...unless I did and I've forgotten, which I tend to do).

After I finished all of my summer classes and I had a small break, yet still working, I wanted to let my brain go mushy for the short time I had and that always steers me in the directions of Netflix. I searched for a new movie to watch to get lost in and I somehow stumbled upon TV shows and something caught my eye. This is when I first laid my eyes on one of my favorite TV shows....I think you should have guessed it by now...yup....Doctor Who! I was an instant fan (check this post). 

To make a long story short....I, being who I am, posted a status on FB talking about how I was in love with this new show....and to my surprise, I get a comment from a guy (pretty cute guy if you ask me) and after a strand of 10 comments back and forth, I message him privately and give him my digits bc the notifications were buggin' me, so why not text? 

Who knew that all would lead us to where we are today? We've been texting/talking nonstop (literally, we haven't missed a day...except a week right at the beginning...of talking to each other) for 9 months this coming Friday. The day that marked history was the day I got this amazing text from him:

And of course I said YES!

I'm am so blessed to call this man my boyfriend and so thankful that God has given me such an amazing man :)  He's been there to help me through some of the darkest of days and some of the most stressful moments and always guiding me with God's Word and loving me even through all my faults. He is my other half and I don't know how I've lived so long without him! He truly is an answer to my prayers :) 

This man has my heart and I his. There's not a day that goes by that I don't thank God for such a wonderful man. I love you, Ian, more than words can say. :) 

See you in 4 days my love!

Let's Bowl!

So, in my last post, I mentioned that I would tell you about this amazing guy that I have the honor to call my boyfriend! (I love that word, hehe)

Let me just tell you, this guy....words can't even describe how amazing it feels to have him by my side....sappy right? Well, if you don't like sappy, stop reading now because there is bound to be a ton sappy things said in this post. :P 

....seriously, if you are not a fan of sappy love stories, romance, or anything of the kind.....go ahead and click that little back arrow or that little x to close the window......BUT if you do enjoy those types of things...keep reading!! :)


HOW WE FIRST MET
I was down visiting my cousin, Kat, at their new house down in Louisiana for a week this past summer. We wanted to do something fun to get out of the house and she suggested bowling. I was like, "Yes! I haven't gotten to go bowling since ours burned down." So I was up for it. She then proceeds to tell me her friend Ian and his brother are going to be there, so I was elated to meet some new people. Little did I know that our first encounter would be the start of something wonderful. 
After we bowled 3 games we decided to head out to get coffee and beignets and hang out. It was a lot of fun, even though I got powdered sugar down my dress top, not gonna name names. (Kat, I will get you back >.>) 
Anyway, after the whole hang out, I added him on facebook because I thought he was really neat and it'd be cool to get to know him. A few days later he accepted my request and then things went quiet. But, not for long.....


OK...sooo this one wasn't as sappy as I thought it was going to be, but I didn't want to throw a TON of stuff out at once!

To Be Continued...
