When I asked God to write my love story I never thought the journey would look anything like this. It’s been challenging but each step is more than I dreamed of and best of all my Monsieur is way better than I prayed for. I have more emotions than I can even describe and I can’t stop smiling!!!! We’re getting married!!!

Monsieur proposed in the early hours of this morning.
I’m so happy. What a way to start the new year.
I’m speechless.
I literally have to vent my thoughts through this process, and this is going to be my outlet. I feel like I’m quite a relaxed person, I obviously don't want to be labelled a bridezilla so at every moment I feel like someone is trying to entice me into that role, I’m going to ask questions... like who’s crazy here, me or you? I have a huge feeling there are going to be a few of these instances over the next few months.
So here’s #1 - This morning someone suggested an idea to me about venues. By the afternoon, they had called that venue and arranged a viewing... Wait for it... its booked for this Sunday, while I'm not in the country to go. So the person will go see it on my behalf to approve it. Really? Have I missed something? Don't I need to check out where I'm getting married?

... a year from now, I'm going to wish i started today. I will wish that I had the courage to do this small idea even when i hadn't fully thought it through and even though I had no clue how it would turn out.
Can you tell I’m a chronic overthinker yet? Admittedly this sometimes hinders my progress in certain areas. But with the freshness of this new year and my sudden wave of freedom to make mistakes, I'm choosing to remove all my excuses and get on with it.
So here I am. Starting. Unsure which way I'm turning, but daily figuring out my journey so that when I get to the date a year from now, I can at least say I tried and if nothing else I would have a record of what not to do for the next year.
Join me if you wish...
