Announcements!

So it’s been a while since I’ve written.  Seems I’m falling into a bit of a pattern… writing every month or two that is haha.  But anyway, because it’s been a while, I’m happy to announce that I have a bunch of announcements! 

My first announcement is that J officially asked me to marry him!!!



He asked me on June 24th, which also happens to be his birthday.  It was amazing!! He took me up high into a mountain to a mountain lake, then walked with me hand-in-hand until we got to this big boulder that was surrounded by water.  Once we were up on the boulder he started telling me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me and how much of a blessing I am in his life… then he got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked me to marry him!!! Of course I said yes!!  We are now planning our wedding for June 21st of 2014, and I couldn’t be happier :-)



My next announcement is both sad and happy.  The sad part is that K is away from me… She is spending the summer with her dad, and I’m very happy that they get this time together, but she’s been gone over a month now and it has been one of the hardest months of my life….  But the good news is that she will officially be back next month!  It’s longer than a month, but it’s *next* month, so I’m a happy momma :-)

Also, my divorce is officially final!  That’s not necessarily a ‘good’ thing, but I am happy it is finally done and over.  I mean, it’s been a year and a half coming! (Stupid NC laws).

Finally, I published my book!!! Well, part one.  I am so excited!!  This is the synopsis:

In her third year at Elmnar Military School, nineteen year old Miriel begins to feel overwhelmed by the difficulties that school, romance, and parents present. When she takes a short vacation to clear her head, she finds herself on the brink of death and is saved by none other than a Dark Elf – the most hated race among the Surface World – named Draugminaion, opening the door to a very unusual friendship. To repay him for saving her life, Miriel agrees to help Drau enroll in her school and overcome the animosity of the students and staff. There the two young elves face the hardships of discrimination, forge many new friendships, and experience the joys and heartbreaks of love. For Miriel, things have never been more confusing. For Draugminaion, life has never been better. But when the kin he left behind threaten to ruin everything, the unlikely pair must bring together a school of prejudiced Surface Elves to face something out of their darkest nightmares.

You can get it here, if you want to check it out.

So anyway, that’s what’s been up.  Other than that, I’ve just been getting ready to start school again, giving more lessons in order to save up for the Wedding, and trying to be supportive as J tries to find another job to help save up as well.  What can I say? I guess I’m boring lol. :-)
