Fantastic news: I'm engaged!!! My BF proposed to me this past Friday night, the day after my birthday. He was so sweet. He took me to the park that we went to on our first date when we were 16 years old and asked me (we parted ways when I went off to college and got back together 4 years ago). I cried because he did such a good job on the proposal and choosing the ring...see below
Please ignore my gimp pinky. LOL! It's an old HS Basketball injury.
We haven't picked a date, because it really revolves around my brother's leave. He's an Army Commander and is stationed overseas now and he MUST be here without a doubt.
So, I'm really on the grind on this weight loss. Even if I'm not at goal for my wedding, I want to have some sense of accomplishment. Maybe I should set a goal of 250lbs since that was my weight when we first met in HS. According to him, he spotted me in the bleachers filming a basketball game and was attracted to my legs (which I even have to admit were the bomb back in the day, lol) in my track shorts and tracked me down through mutual friends to ask me out. Persistence pays off, I suppose. :)
