And the date is....

When ever anybody hears that Dan and I are engaged they ask "When is the date?" OK your entitled to ask. I guess its been like we are married already. Living together, raising three kids, everything that goes along with being married. Except for the fact that I really can't wait to change my name to Roman. I didn't go back to Kener after the divorce because I thought Dan and I would be married by now. I will be honest...I get lots of benefits being a single mom of three....and we will leave it at that. Well we decided to make the date for next summer. Everyone keeps saying why wait that long you have waited long enough? I don't need a piece of paper to tell me that I am going to be with Dan the rest of my life. However I know its the right thing to do. After going through one horrible marriage I just don't want to ever do it again. Not that Dan is anything like my ex-husband...he is quit the opposite actually...anyway getting off subject. We decided to tie the knot next summer. I would like to do it on the day we met which is July 2. We talked about going somewhere and getting married on a beach. But my two older kids really want to be there. So it may be something here in Utah...very small and sweet. And then we can go on the honeymoon. Oh my heck we have not gone away alone since way before Chloe was born. Way before!!! I am ready for my alone time with Dan. We have a lot going on in our lives with two pre-teens, his job, my school, my ex moving into the neighborhood.....I think it is time for us. We are not even married yet and it feels like we have been for 15 years and forgot to be selfish for us. I will let you know when we have more details on the wedding. I am sure we will do some sort of invite.
