......on August 1st, 2009. And I can't wait! That is my good news. Scott and I have talked about getting married since before we moved in together but the time wasn't right and neither of us were quite ready for that yet. Living together can probably make or break a couple - well, it has made us realize that we are perfect for each other. I am incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful man. He loves me, he loves my children and is good to them, and he treats me like a princess. Everyday that I spend with Scott I feel like the luckiest and most loved woman in the world. I am looking forward to a life full of love and happiness.
Scott......everything I wish to say on here will be said to you on August 1st......if it hasn't been said already! I love you more than words can ever say. xoxox
P.S. I have been knitting. I have tucked away all my winter projects and have cast on for four summer ones.....three from stash yarn! I figured spring is a new beginning.....my life is a new beginning.....so why not have knitting be a new beginning too! Hence the new projects. I plan on posting about them later today but I wanted to share my good news first!


















Oh how wonderful! Congratulations to you and your family!

Hi Sweet Heart - When I read this post, it melted my heart. I feel lucky every day to have you in my life. You are my best friend and the love of my life. As often as I tell you I love you, I never feel like words are sufficient. All I can do is try to live my life in a way that you will know all the time. If one word could describe the way I feel about you, it would probably be "adore." I simply adore you, in every way. I can't wait to call you my wife. xoxox, Scott

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you guys. I totally agree that living together makes or breaks the relationship - I should have lived with my ex before getting engaged to him, b/c we never would have gotten married. Oh well, water under the bridge! I have the right guy now!

I knew it!
Congratulations! It's amazing how when we finally realize we are allowed to be happy, and take the steps needed to get there..and sometimes that's alot harder and takes more courage then it sounds..we find it. =)
August is going to be an awesome month..I have a "little" something to look forward to that month as well. =)
Again, congratulations, you deserve it woman.
