And so I face the final curtain. My friend, Ill say it clear, Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ok maybe a bit too dramatic lol
Was contemplating starting a new thread ( I say that every time) just dont have a lot to add these days, NOT that I dont love coming here and do, just not as much to add to my D sit. Things have settled down now, the frustration I have w/ ex now is just the way he is w/ S. That's something S has to deal with tho and I just have to be a support, ex could be better but he could also be worse I suppose.
Another reason I wasn't going to start a new thread is my life has made a huge turn. I came here 5 yrs ago, 8 months after the bomb. Like everyone else desperately looking to save my M. I tried like heck, didn't work. Wasn't meant to be. Finally realized I am much better off, If someone dosnt want to be with you, there is no point in forcing the issue.
I was happy as a clam single, loved having my time, going out w/ friends, figured if this is how it is, I would be totally fine, well life then threw another surprise my way and brought B into my life. So now things feel even more complete. We have decided to complete it more though, and as of this weekend I am ............ drum roll please.... Engaged. never thought I'd say that again! lol It wasn't a surprise we had been talking about it for awhile, and this last weekend B asked me to marry him, and I said yea, why not! lol We have absolutely no short term plans tho, it will be a longish engagement. Sometime next spring but I do have a ring to prove it, so he cant get away with so easy now
Anyway, I am a happy clam and I never ever thought I would trust or love or even LIKE another man again, but time heals, things happened for a reason and just believe, Everything I heard. and again if it wasn't for this board and you wonderful people I dont think I would of been open to open up my heart again, you all helped me more then you will ever know!
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
A toast to the happy couple. But it would be easier to do that with a glass of bubbly, so ....
Now a question as I try to learn the rules here.
If you are now going to be Engaged ... will someone else get to be KarenMarieS ? If that leads to becoming Engaged, the ladies might all fight over being the new KarenMarieS.
Seriously, Congrats on Surviving ... and thriving!
Karen Sweetie, Congratulations to you and B. So, are you moving or is B moving? You know I wish you the best. You deserve the best life has to offer. God Bless
Karen, B must be something special for you to take this leap of faith. But I'm sure he knows how special YOU are since he asked you. He doesn't want to let you get away.
It's funny how we find that we aren't really the people our MLC'ers said we were. It never was about us, but it sure did take our lives in a different direction.
Oh my gosh, Karen - that is fantastic! You and B truly do seem compatible and happy. That is what everyone hopes for. To have the faith and trust to want to enter into marriage reassures me that many of us can forget the past and move forward when the time is right. I totally respect the time you have taken to heal yourself first, date a few people, find the right guy and let things develop slowly. My hat is off to you - I believe you know your heart.
So, when is the big day going to be. Are you going to invite Jill, Beth, Brenda and I? I wanna come. K just invited me for a trip anyway and Cali would be great. Or Josh and I can cruise from San D and start with your wedding - LOL! (or are you going to tell us it will be a small affair with family only - boo hoo hoo).
So, my glass needs to be champagne this morning so I too can toast your happiness forever. I'll add some OJ, though and make it a Mimosa - I LOVE those!
