Well, it’s been a couple of weeks, and much has happened. Things in the office have been crazy (yeah, I’m not really sure when they’re not)… we just seem to always have one thing after another. But, no worries, it keeps us from being bored, for sure.

I left last Thursday for Colorado. It was a trip to meet Tony’s mom. I was pretty excited - the farthest west I’d been was LasVegas for a family vacation when I was in high school. It was a big trip for sure! We went bowling, watched movies, looked at old family pictures, and on Saturday, went to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was such a gorgeous day, and such fantastic surroundings… I mean, come one… it’s the Rocky Mountains! Well, the four of us (Tony, his mom, Ron, and I) went on a little nature walk with a waterfall, and while waiting on his mom and Ron to return from exploring, Tony asked me to marry him! It’s still surreal even now, but I’m totally excited. The best thing he said was that he was really happy for me. Happy that I had found someone who really cared for me and to spend the rest of my life with. And, he was happy for himself that he is that guy.

Well, now, I’m home, and this is the first time in three days I’ve been able to sit up longer than 30 minutes without wincing from pain or turning white from nausea. (So sorry if anything doesn’t make sense.) And… by the way… has left me wondering yet again… where does so much snot come from??  I’m sure I’ve been through a box of tissues a day since Sunday.  It would have been more if I were awake more.  People keep saying I must be allergic to diamonds. Haha. I’ve been to the doctor and gotten some major pills that seem to be helping. Not really sure what’s wrong with me, but I sure can’t remember the last time I was this sick. My mom came up yesterday and stayed through the night with me and has taken care of me today. She’s been great, as always. So, I guess the moral of the story is… you NEVER outgrow your mom… even after you get an adult job, buy a house, and even are on the horizon of marriage. Thanks, mom!
