The Engagement!

Yes I did get engaged this summer! June 13, 2008 to be exact!







This Summer. . .









Go Shawty . . .

It's my birthday! I partied like it's my birthday!
Today is my 29th birthday and I am too crunk about this weekend! My fiance', my beloved, my sweetie. . . my Boaz treated me like a royal queen this weekend. I am dog tired! But smiling all the while!
So he has been contemplating about this weekend for quite some time what I would like. For his birthday . . .08.08.08 we went to Orlando for that week and wrapped it up with a romantic night at the Melting Pot.
Honestly, I wasn't too excited about going away again b/c it's been a lot going on but whatever he plans I'll be fine. Even if we have just a quiet night in hugged up. . .I'll be cool.
Wednesday night I learned that we weren't going out of town, surprisingly! I then found out that my "big" gift was having delivery trouble and he faced the store clerks out b/c he needed it . . .period! But Friday he let me know that after we went to our cake tasting, he'd drop me off b/c he needed to "handle" my gift.
So he only requested that I like sexy and fly! BET. . . so I went and got me a FLY dress and if I do say so myself, I was the bomb! He scoops me up, we drive to Mccormick and Schmicks. And then we go in and are sat by a table of about 7 black men. At which that point, William decides that okay they are staring, we need a private booth/table. . . .Told yall I was cute!!!!! We move and have a great evening.
So then after dinner he says okay do you want one of your gifts.. . I'm like YEAH!! So we drive to his house where I stumble upon my very own "room" in his house. He had moved his couch out the room that we deemed my scrapbooking room. In it he'd gone out and found me a WONDERFUL craft table, shelves, mirror, pillows, throw. . .basically decorated my very own space in his house! I mean the room and decor is AWESOME but the act was more powerful than anything else.
Saturday and today were great, I got wonderful cards, another night out, dinner, and a gift card!
At this point I am grateful about the blessings in my life. B/c truly it could be another way. I have had men to come and go. Men who I thought treated me well. Men who I knew who didn't give a darn about me. . .But with this man I make it a point to let him know and show hin how much I truly appreciate him. I make it a point DAILY to let God know that I am truly grateful to HIM for thinking enough of me to bring me him.
It's a great day! I mean 2008 has been a wonderful year thus far. I look forward to the future! My future and all that it's holding for me!
