Hey Shasha! I'm glad your back! You are always friendly and keep the thread upbeat
On that note, I may not be around as much now! My life is going through a lot of changes right now, and boy am I glad I have lost most of the weight first because this will make this all easier.
I'm sure you know I'm engaged by my talk about my fiance, we've been together over 3 years and he asked me to marry him this past March. When he asked we decided we would wait about two years to get married and just enjoy our engagement. Every four months we take vacation up North to Prince George to see his family and daughter, so we got a chance to celebrate the engagement with them.
Fast forward to summer, it was vacation time again, and it's at the point where him and I have decided we want to move there. He wants to be with her full time, I would like more opportunities for us to build a relationship, and I have NEVER lived anywhere but here. I've been living on the same bus route since I was a child! I think a change and going out of my comfort zone would be good, I did it with eating better and exercise, right?
This last while we've been talking about the fact that my grandma would be too old to travel up there for a wedding, and it would be too expensive to get the two families together. So we decided we will have a small ceremony and reception here in the lower mainland, then another reception up north for his family.
Now he wants to move up before Feb 21st, his daughters 7th birthday, which pushes things up greatly! So this is my to do list for the next 6 months:
-Plan a wedding in 3 months (it's small so I'm not thinking it will be so bad)
-Save a TON of money
-Do this while making it through Christmas AND my birthday (Dec 28th)
-Save even MORE money so we can pack up our life and move a 9 hour drive away
-Find jobs and a place to live
-Have a reception for his family
My fiance is going away for a month and a half to help his boss build a house on Vancouver Island. It means 12-14 hour days for him and extra money saved. I was upset he was going to be away so long, but now I have a wedding to plan so I'll be busy haha.
So I will be a married lady on Jan 28th
