Oh wow~ how could I have forgotten to share with you all that I got engaged last Saturday?????

Reggie had something to "ask me"..but he decided to wait until he saw me ( I was out of town visiting my brother...you remember, my "date" with Joyce happened that week!) Turns out, what he wanted to ask me was if I knew my ring size, as he was in a jewelry store! But during the conversation, he changed his mind, and decided to just take me with him so WE could find what I wanted!!

Whooo-deeee whoooo!!! We found a gorgeous ring, and he put it on my finger, and said he loved me~ all the right things!

So, lest you ask if we have set a date, the answer is NO. But hey, this step took us 7 years to reach, so I am a patient woman!

I keep telling you there is Life After Cancer, don't I?????

Hugs,
Claudia

    TY teena!
    He is a great guy; we had only been dating about 9 months when I got cancer, and he stayed with me~ I am very lucky, indeed. Didn't you post you had gotten divorced after 21 years? I had just finalized a 27 yr marriage when I met Reggie, so I understood just what you were talking about. Perhaps that is why I am not in a hurry...things are good exactly where they are!

    I suppose that's the best we'll get out of you as far as pictures, since you run away from cameras?? BUT, I am assuming you will break your no-picture rule for your own wedding??!!

    CONGRATULATIONS AND A BIG OLD HUG!
    Oh my how delightfully wonderful! I am so very happy for you and your guy. Please do keep us posted on your wedding plans so we can be excited for you as your plans progress. Your guy sounds wonderful, I am glad you found each other. Oh by the way, I would offer you my wedding photo but we kinda eloped and I am wearing jeans and a t-shirt somehow I see you much as more glamorous than that!

    Hugs,

    Glamorous!!!!
    You must have me confused with some person with class and style~ I was thinking of having the checkers at our favorite supermarket clear the aisles of shopping carts, and Reggie and I could immediately toast our wedding after saying "I Do" in the wine section! LOL I promise to wear make- up and take the rollers out of my hair BEFORE I get to the store though!

    hugs,
