6 Week Hiatus

Hi! Did you miss me? :)

Life has been go, go, go for quite awhile and I have not sat down to focus on a good blog post. Even now, I am not quite sure what to write about.

I guess what I would like to say is that many of my life-long dreams are manifesting before my eyes. It is almost like a flood, a tsunami of wishful thinking come to reality. I have found a wonderful man to spend my life with, he is kind, strong, (yet gentle), funny, talented, smart and naive...he not only loves me, but he loves my children and treats them as if they were his own. This is the most magical thing that has ever happened to me. I just adore this man.

With Andy's help, I have also realized my dream of staying home with my kids, I work at home promoting the band and I also have a few other creative projects in the works...some of them are too young to discuss at this time (yet to be actualized)!

Homeschooling is finally going well. Dante is feeling more confident, and is actually PASSING his courses this year. Julian has decided he is ready to go back to public school, which is fine by me...he is a very social kid and needs to be with others.

Andy and I also have a very active social life. This was something I always wanted when I was younger, but I never had the confidence to enjoy...we have friends. We get together and drink wine, play music, have dinner parties do backyard camp-outs...its very fun. Many of these people are friends of Andy's who have accepted me with open arms, but Andy has said that since he met me he has found many new friends in the Murrieta area and he just loves going out and networking as a couple.

I guess I should mention that 2 weeks ago Andy proposed to me. He had a ring designed for me (to my specifications) and included my kids in the proposal process. It was so sweet, I had to cry. The kids were totally into it, they were so excited afterwards they were bouncing off the walls. We have not quite decided on a date because...

We are also buying a house. Well, that's not a "for sure" but we have been looking for a few months and I think we found the property we are interested in. The house is not that big, its 2500 sq ft...a little bigger than my condo, and it sits on top of a hill with a breath-taking panoramic view in all directions. It is 4.5 acres, some fruit trees, gigantic boulders...and plenty of room to grow. We can pretty much do anything we want on this property. Andy is talking about putting an offer on it today, which is VERY exciting! At first I was very scared, I hemmed and hawed...and then I saw how excited Andy was about the whole thing. We both have very big dreams and we follow through on them. This property is exactly the kind of place where we could manifest these dreams.

ANYWAY...if we follow through and buy this house, we might be moving in before the end of the year and then we could plan our wedding. He had originally talked about Feb 14, but if we buy this house that might be a little soon. So, perhaps Spring would be best. Spring wedding. I like the way that sounds. :)

OK, I am off to dream. Loves to all, have a fabulous day!
