So I mentioned in my last blog post that a LOT has changed in the past few years since I posted in 2014!! And I wasn't kidding! ;) The long and short of it is - I went through a yucky divorce, learned a LOT about myself, and am in an amazingly happy, good place right now!
One thing that I learned is a simple word - BELIEVE - and it's a word that I will hold near and dear to my heart, probably forever! I must believe in myself first, before I will believe that anyone else could believe in me. I must believe in my kids so that they know how much value I see in them. I must believe in those around me, that they are there to help build me up and support me, not tear me down.
I met and fell in love with an amazing girl and in March, I proposed to her while on our Spring Break trip in Florida. We had a magical time at Magic Kingdom and just relaxing by the pool for the week!
In May, she surprised me with a unique proposal - and to give me a matching, beautiful ring!!!
We are working on planning our wedding, but have a few of the major decisions made:
* Date: June 30, 2018
* Date: June 30, 2018
* Venue: Burl Oaks Golf Course, Minnetrista, MN

* Together we will have my children, Kylie & Mason, stand up with us as we take this next step.
