I never ever thought that Dan and I would finally get married. I sat for many months just praying I would make it week to week...visit to visit. I missed him so bad. I just wanted our lives combined. I would sit and imagine how wonderful it would be when they finally merged. Then after 19 months that did happen. It wasn't easy. Many things come out when you close the distance. Little quirks...little things that you become set in your ways....remember I am older as is he...We have been down this marriage road...been there done that. To have someone back in my house living by my side was an adjustment. He works overnights...we had to really change our lives to "join" them....it's one thing to be LD...but when you are side by side...I can't just say.."I will call you back" and go discipline the kids....things are just different.

Then we finally were able to get Married. He proposed to me the second time we were together. It was known since the beginning we would be married...there was no doubt. It was getting to the point that we could get married.

Saturday August 25th in a small ceremony in the town he moved from , on the most beautiful lake...we said "I do"...it was the best day of my life....I couldn't have wished it to be any better. Well the fact that most of my friends were here...here in NY and weren't able to see it...that was the only hard part. This Sunday one of my dear friends is surprising me with a reception...well we know when and where and that it is long distance themed...but that's it. I am very excited. Sunday I will be dressed in my other wedding dress...my gorgeous orange one....sooo excited to redo my hair....and just be beautiful once again...like a princess. I am blessed so much.

So so much.

All my friends now call me Mrs. B______. I waited a long time to hear that.
