A new status
I had a wonderful day today. Actually, I've had a wonderful weekend. But today was particularly good. We had a cookout for my dad's birthday. Me, Dez, Kelley, John, Muffin, Brad, Cati-Beth, Chaylea, and my parents were here at the house (kinda chaotic cause the house is not really made to have that many people in one place. LOL) and we all had a good time. I particularly noticed that ever since my parents saw my ring and realized Dez really isn't going anywhere, and realized we're serious about this, they've been cooler about him. Maybe now we'll be seen as the family we regard ourselves as. Being engaged definitely has it's advantages. And there's something so sweetly satisfying about saying "my fiancee" this and "my fiancee" that. I'm happier than I have ever been. I hope you all are as happy for us as we are for ourselves. I know most of you saw the ring on Friday night when Dez was showing it off, but it looks a lot different on my finger than it does before it's given.
So anyway, I got off subject. We had such a nice day, ate good food, joked around, played with the kids, talked about weddings, all that good stuff. Can life get any better??? I have a beautiful daughter, a wonderful fiancee, and those two make up a wonderful part of my family, my future, my happiness. I have great friends, most of whom will be involved with our wedding in one way or another. I've already asked Kel, Muffin and April to be bridesmaids (though I still have to pick one more and decide who will be my maid of honor). Not that I don't have time to figure it out. LOL. Well I'm gonna stop gushing now cause I'm grossing myself out. Im watching Booh-bah with Chaylea, so I should pay attention to this great, educational show.
