after 5 1/2 yrs Im ENGAGED!!

Wow,

I can't believe Im officially ENGAGED!!! YAY

Im no longer just his girlfriend... Im his fiance and future WIFE.

I have waited along time for this.... and Im so excited I cant contain myself!!

Isnt it GORGOUS???

I absolutely love it...

We have set the date for

SEPTEMBER 2012

Havent officially picked a day yet, Im thinking around the 14th.

So now all I have to do is figure out what kind of wedding I want, I was never the kind of girl who dreamed of the day she would get married... and Im not the center of attetion type, Im also not a very affectionate person to anyone but my daughter and my Fiance....Something about hugging other people, even my parents/sibling just feels very awkward and uncomfortable.....as well as public affection... Im not the one your gonna see in the store or parking lot giving kisses to my future hubby.... to me that is just priviate.... and for the most part he feels the same..

So Im just not positive on all the details yet, but I only have 3 reasons for not wanting the big traditional wedding..

1.) I dont want to have to ask my dad to walk me down the isle...Awkward!!

2.) I dont want to have to kiss Johnny infront of everyone....Embarassing!!

3.) I do not want anyone crying or getting emotional or hugging me....Unconfortable!
So a vacation/wedding in Las Vegas at a cute little chapel sounds pretty good to me, But then Johnnys family and most of mine wouldnt want or be able to attend, so that is probably out of reach.

Reasons why I do want a regular wedding:

1.) Picking out the dress

2.) planning and having a party worth dressing up for

3.) Getting Gorgous

and most importantly

 Seeing Johnny in  a suit or at least all dressed up..

( A suit may be to much to wish for...lol)

But whatever kind of wedding I choose, I know I want it to be Pink and Brown,

I want a Pink dress for sure, and I would like it to be outside. I will probably have to break the wedding down into 3 parts:
 the actual ceromony
dinner/reception
and a after party

Because most of my family are pretty religous (church of christ) and Johnnys family is your typical african american family, In other words our familys have 2 totally different ways of celebrating and I want everyone to be happy.
The Ceromony will be all me!
The dinner/reception can be for everyone and the After party can be more for his family and those of mine that arent comfortable with the dancing and music.

So how soon should I start planning??

O, and we plan to have out second child next year too, So some how I have to get this all worked out...

Just in time for Christmas!!

Me and my mom put our heads and sewing machines together and got Dollies made just in time for Chirstmas, Want to purchase one check out my etsy shop!

 

I think they turned out perfect, and we have many more to come...Keep an eye on my facebook, and etsy shop for more.

We have more ethinic dolls coming soon.

Want a custom doll??

Just let me know!

My Personal Blog

For those of you who have been following my diet or any of my other personal posts, I just want to let you know that all my posts about it have been deleted from this blog and have been moved to my personal blog:

There you will see all the things involved in my personal life, like kids, being a mom, learning how to care for my biracial daugters hair, hairstyles, vacation, my diet, my family, everything about kids, etc......

it is going to be a little of everything.

And my Orange Blossom Blog is going to be about sewing, sales and promotions for my etsy shop, about me opening my own shop in my local area, crafts,tutorials and any thing else that involves sewing or crafting.

But since I have not had a chance to add my new weight on my personal blog I wanted to let you know that I stared this diet Sept 16 at 218lbs and it is Oct 18th and Im 198...only 8lbs away from my goal by the end of Oct......Im so proud of myself...I cant believe how much better I look....20lbs can you believe that.????
