Hello blog world! I decided to create this blog to share my personal experiences with you as I am experiencing my most important mission thus far: planning my wedding.
Of course, I should start by introducing myself and how I got to this point of wonderful bliss. I was born and raised in Missouri. I was brought up by amazing parents that taught me morals and values, and of course, was spoiled rotten by them lol. Having the parents I had made me want to have a marriage like theirs. They have been married for 40 years, and still have love in their eyes, and makes me proud to say that this loving, married couple are my parents.
Now, fast forward to 2008. My friend Jeff introduced me to a phone line for singles, and that's where I began using this service. At the time, I had no idea why I was doing this, as I thought that it would not get me anywhere, but on the positive side I could make friends and meet new and interesting people. They were interesting alright. After 6 months of sifting through the crazies, sex addicts and jerks I received a message in September of 2008, from a man who seemed pretty decent, and by decent I mean he sounded like a gentleman and didn't talk about disgusting fetishes that I would never partake in, lol. This man left me a message to call him on his personal phone. The weird part is that I would have never done this, NEVER...but I just had this feeling to call him. So in the late evening of the crisp fall weather, I called this man. I did not know it at the time but this was the best decision I have ever made in my life.
This man I spoke to was named Andy. We became friends and talked for hours almost everyday. We found things in common with each other and even found out we had lived 10 minutes away from one another. I thought he had a sexy voice and seemed very sweet. I felt like I could talk to him about everything, as did he. We talked about our fears, past, and what we wanted in our future. Eventually, we played with the idea of meeting, but I was nervous. I have never been nervous about meeting anyone before-I was always ready for that, but this, was very, very different.
Finally, in October 2008, we met as friends but we were very drawn to each other, till this day it is very hard to explain what kind of force was bringing us together. I never believed in fate until I met him, and I was hooked lol. And on November 4th, 2008 we officially became a couple. In June 2009, we moved in together. This was a first experience for me, I had never lived with a boyfriend and it was hard at first because I had no idea how to act, so being myself was the obvious choice and I went with that, lol.
On our 2nd anniversary we toyed with the idea with marriage. We were eating dinner that evening to celebrate our anniversary. Andy said something to me that evening I would never forget. "Honey, if I could marry you right now I would...but I can't. I want to make sure you father approves before I do, and I don't think he will right now." I realized that this man wanted to make sure he could take care of me for the rest of my life before walking down the aisle, I respected him more that day. We never rushed into anything and I am so grateful he was always there to plant my feet back on the ground when I needed it.
Last year, 2011 was a year never to be forgotten. In January, I had turned 30, and was not happy about it to say the least lol. In June of that year, I was in a bad car accident. I was badly injured, but I had angels on my side because I walked away from the accident, very much in pain, but happy to be alive. I lost my car that day as well, a car I had bought brand new at the age of 25. I cried over the loss, but my friend Vicki said to me "You can replace a car but you can't replace Sara." Good point.
July got a lot better. An evening of staying in with my honey, I was talking about what to make for dinner. Andy looked at me and took my hand and asked me a question every girl dreams of: "Will you Marry Me?" The feeling I had at this point was totally unexplainable. Of course, that could be the reason why I botched up the whole damn proposal. Shaking my head "Your not serious are you?" Andy nodding his head "Yeah I am, but if it's no...." Of course I started to smile and said yes!
During a course of 4 months, we looked at engagement rings, and I finally found the one I thought was 'perfect'. Christmas day rolled around, and Andy gave me the news: he bought my engagement ring, but will get it when I least expect it. Jackass. (lol)
So I have begun this journey of planning my wedding, which is to happen in the fall of 2012, which I will keep everyone posted on.
I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. That being said, let the countdown of becoming Andy's bride begin!!!
