I'm not sure if it's common knowledge to most of my friends but I am actually engaged. I have been engaged for a whole year now to my partner and best friend, Luke.
Recently I had moved to Townsville in the hopes to pursue some form of lifestyle that included making me a student and fiercely independent of him. At that point in my life I believed I was being pushed out of my home because I wasn't good enough for my partner and that I had to prove myself worthy in some sort of way. But that just proves how much of a drama queen I really am for the love and dedication Luke has shown me in the last couple of months has been heart warming. Ever since I have moved back here to Mount Isa I have been continuously shown how much I mean to him and all the doubts I had gathered in our separation just seem minuscule or overreacted.
Now with that being said, Luke and I have set a wedding date. Which I am pleased to explain and yet anxious to anticipate, that it is soon! Very soon! August 28th, 2010 soon!
Everything is under-way and we're making the event as simple as possible but as lovely as possible. I won't be having my dream wedding with everyone I love there and the beautiful gardens or the fancy dancy reception at a beach side resort. But that's okay. I didn't have that much money to begin with.
Luke and I are having our honeymoon next year in Tasmania so that will be lovely and I have been promised to spare no expense for the event. It'll be my dream honeymoon (involving Cabins and snow!!)
So here I am. From feeling that my life was on some ultimate change in Townsville, that I was heading towards a different direction than Luke and it was making me miserable but inevitable. To being back the Isa, with Luke and his charming young man, Edward, and feeling like I finally belong and not forgetting to mention getting married in 2 months or so! Things are just happening you know? All these changes and I can't wait to finally have the life I deserve to have.
