A very important announcement
As most of you know, I made my escape from Rochester for a week to take a trip across the border to spend James’s birthday with him. He’d been spending my birthdays with me, so I thought it only fair. I didn’t know what to give him, since he’s so easy to please and hard to buy fore, but his one request for his birthday was…little innocent me…Yah right. LOL! So I digress here. Little did I know, I was going to be the one recieving the surprise of my life. I had just gotten in, and we were relaxing on Saturday night when he all of a sudden went to a dresser drawer, grabbed something, came back, got down almost on one knee, and proposed to me, while putting the ring on my finger. We had been talking about it, but in the situation our lives are in at the moment, with my massage stuff, and his looking for work, and possibly going back to school, I figured it would be a while before it would actually be siriously talked about. But as of Saturday night5, James and I are officially engaged. Obviously, it’s going to be a while, as we have a lot of logictics to work out when dealing with two different countries, and both of us having family in all different places, so we don’t have a date yet. But we have made a step in the right direction, as this is something we both want, and are going to work toward. Naturally, I will be keeping you all abreast of any developments from here on out.
I have already informed most of the important members of my family. Mum took it better than I thought she would. She talked to him, and I think she realizes that I have picked a good one this time. Uncle Jim informed me that if he’s not told when and where, he’s going to be very upset. Mom thinks Grandma will be happy, but we’ll find out tomorrow. I also have to write my brother in prison to tell him. James’s family is all for it. His mother was the one who helped him pick out the ring. of course, his brother had to tease him, telling him not to do it, calling him a dumb ass and all that, but it was all in good fun.
I will be writing more about what’s been going on later, but I felt that something like this needded it’s own entry, because it’s important, and I really feel like I’m doing the right thing this time. I know it’s going to be a bit of a hard road, but I know that this is what I want, and I also know that it will all work out.;
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!
Wow! That is wonderful! Congratulations! I hope everything goes relatively smoothly for the two of you, and works out in the end.
Thank you. I know it’s going to be difficult at first due to this whole two different countries thing, but we’re willing to take on the challenge, and that’s a start.
Congrats to you both@ This is excellent news.
Oh Jessica that is such great news and I am so very happy for you. On the getting things settled with family etc try not to let that make the decisions for you. James and you are the ones who have to live your lives and make the sacrifices and choices. Life and love and all that goes with it is a learning experience no matter how long you are together and if you remember that all will be well. there will be ups and downs and good times and bad times but as long as you both remember why you fell in love with each other you will grow together. Hugz and Love
Thank you. This was very encouraging. Sometimes it can be hard, as we all try to seek our family’s approval, but I’m figuring out as I get older that what works from one person may not work for another. Luckily, my mom has accepted it, and at least she isn’t being as dramatic as she used to be about things, so that makes things easier. Thanks again for your comment, and I’ll keep remembering what you said.
Congratulations! I wish both of you the best!
as i said last night yea jessica and James! awsomeness for both of you.

Shit! I just realized somehow I typed in the wrong field so my comment did not show! blah! Anyway… That was supposed to be congratulations to both of you! That is incredibly awesome news!
Hey, Amy,
I wondered what that was about, but I figured something probably got mixed up. Leave it to Jaws to misread form fields. LOL! Thank you very much for your comment though. Who knows, maybe you’ll be next. LOL!
I’m a little late to the party, just because I haven’t read this blog for a time, but congrats to you two. That is just made out of 31 flavors of awesome.
