TRANSFORMED BLESSING UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 1, 2014
YEP.... God did it again!!!!! He took my crazy life of abundant blessings, crazy challenges and wild life happenings and transformed a great job and a great life into something I could not have even dreamed up in my thoughts of what a perfect life would look like: He gave me JOE DIETRICH whom I fell in love with and he with me in a most extraordinary manner. We got married and we are ABUNDANTLY BLESSED in the most fabulous of ways! Truly indescribable!

In a nutshell: My dad passed away on January 5, 2014. (how could God TRANSFORM THAT into a BLESSING for me?? - oh HE DID ... AGAIN!)
A WEEK LATER - I got THEE SYMPATHY CARD that CHANGED HISTORY from a guy I knew of but had never spoken to or met. My sisters said - He's SAFE, He's SINGLE, He's HANDSOME - WRITE HIM BACK!. I did and we wrote every single day (inboxes to emails) till we met in person at an MLC vs Roseville basketball game. (He did meet most of my "Characteristics in a Man Worth Getting To Know" spreadsheet ... but of course, much more research had to be done .. more on THAT in another post).

We'll.... there are LOTS OF AMAZING details but 5 months later we brought his 4 kids and my 4 kids and his dad and my mom together for the MEDFORD MASH (also ... another post topic). 1 month later we were engaged and 50 days after that WE GOT MARRIED! We are living THE DREAM, in the best earthly BLISS we could dream of, FABULOUSLY HAPPY and having a blast! Here's a few fun pics of the big amazing day!
