After all this time, it's finally, FINALLY, official. We are engaged! Chad went and asked my Father for his Blessing and asked my children for theirs, and with everyone on board, we are now officially engaged to be married...Man and Wife...for all time, forever and ever.
I think it's amazing and incredibly touching that as old as we are, he still respected my Father, my children and me enough to ask for my family's Blessing. Chad is truly an amazing man and I am forever grateful to have him in my life...as my friend, my partner and soon to be, my Husband!
I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you, Chad...making memories with you and growing old with you. This has been a long time coming and I am so incredibly happy that we have finally arrived at this moment. I love you...with all my heart and for all time.

Questions, questions...
Life can be amazing and it can be difficult, but I'm a firm believer that God will see us through anything that comes our way. I have friends that are going through difficult times with their own families, friends, work, church, etc. and I always wonder if they believe in something as I do. Something so great that they know without a doubt that they will get through the rough times. One can only hope...and pray.
I know that while I go through my hard times, I tend to immediately feel like I need to know the answers to all things. Why is this happening? Why would God allow this to happen? Why does it always seem that kids are always the ones being hurt (read the news on any given day and you will know exactly what I mean)? When will the hard times end? I'm sure everyone has asked these questions or variations of them and even more indepth questions about life in general. As for me, I'm slowly learning that maybe all of this isn't for us to know just yet.
Have you noticed that when you go through hard times, nothing seems to make sense? I wonder if the chaos isn't there so that we will actually take the time to sit down and think the situation through, because really, if we had the answers to everything, why would we even attempt to improve ourselves?
