In case you are wondering...

...My reason for starting this blog (besides the fact that I love reading Heather's and Jen's) is to be able to keep a little "electronic diary" of the new life that I am about to embark in. Most of you reading this already know me, but for those of you who don't, I recently (11 days ago to be exact) married my best friend. After 4 1/2 years I was finally able to get him to marry me :o).

So...this first blog will be a chance to tell those of you who don't know me, a little bit about "us". Chad and I met at a casino in Lake Charles, LA (I'm from Houston, TX) at my sister-in-law's bachelorette party. We pretty much hit it off right away, and became inseperable (as inseperable as two can get living 150 miles apart). I knew after a few months that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. He was different than any guy I had ever met...and he was able to completely steal every inch of my heart possible. I will keep the rest of the story short...as I have tried to do for everyone that I have met in the past couple of years...meeting Chad has changed my life in so many ways (good ways). I now, am not only a wife, but also a step-mother to a 7 and 12 year old, about to be a full time student, and am going to be moving away from everything I have ever known...whew...sounds scary doesn't it? It used to be a little scary to me just thinking about it, but now, I can't wait for my life to finally "begin".
I will be finishing up at my job and officially moving in in with my husband (love the sound of that) on March 27, 2009. The countdown has begun...only 16 more days....

God has been so good to me, and I am not sure what I did to deserve all this, but I couldn't be any more grateful.
