Well, hello there
I should be sleeping now, but...
I figured I ought to get my current feelings at least into this lj. A lot has changed. A lot has happened for the better and although I tend to take the worst case scenario route, I'm happy. I mean I could sit here and bitch about how much I dislike my working environment but hey, I'm still employed.
I can honestly say there is something, one thing I wanted Scott to do for quite a few years now. I had false leads and was faked out a few times, but that one thing finally happened. Scott proposed.
Read: We're Engaged!
We've been doing shows together in south jerz for a few years now, and the most recent show I was asked to be involved in was "Bye Bye Birdie". Now, I can't say its my all-time favorite show, but after this run I have to admit it's become a part of me. That's how he did it - at the end of the run, he kept the entire cast onstage, and asked me to come up from out of the pit. You know, where I hang out in the darkness wearing all black and whatever shoes I want to wear. I turned to put my instruments away and out of the corner of my eye there he was, front and center. I stared at him for a minute, because I didn't know what the hell he was up to, then I slowly walked across the stage to meet him. At this point my heart was beating in my ears, and while I was walking I heard him say "8 years ago, 8 LONG years ago I met this lovely girl here..." and I went blank! He got down on his knee right then and there. Well of course I said yes, I'd wanted this for years! Little did I know how much planning went into this. To the tune of at least a year and a half. Wow. I'm so proud of him and I'm so happy! He even had the pit in on it, and had the conductor play "Being Mrs. Banks" from Broadway's "Mary Poppins". I still get giddy when I think about it or watch the video.
So, here we are, about 3 weeks later. Much planning has been underway, care of Scott and my Mom. Oh, she's positively glowing over this. She is completely in her element doing all things wedding. We're getting along really well also haha. The family started a diet together. I'm pretty ashamed of how badly I let myself go, but I'm wrapping up week 2 and it's not so bad. I've got lots of time to get it right.
2.5 years to be precise. Well, 2 years, 5 months and 5 days...ish.
We are aiming for 11/02/2013. Here's to hoping, wishing, waiting, planning, thinking, crying, whining, laughing and enjoying the time leading up to the big day.
Well, englandmissesme...it's been 8 long years...I somehow feel as if your chapter has closed. I've had a lot of good times as well as a lot of tears and an overload of drama. Although I can never really be too sure, you're dramatic flair always seems to draw me back, to make just one more update...
