I don’t get a lot of moments like this so I am kinda surprised I am writing…but then again that might be why I am.

I got some amazing news yesterday. It began with picking up a phone call. If you know me, you understand that I don’t pick up the phone from unknown numbers yet yesterday I did. It was another in a series of things I would not normally do which is perhaps why things are going as they are. Late yesterday I go the follow up email and it did not seem real.

I understand what limited successes prior, and I won’t make that same mistake, but I also don’t know what some of the future looks like down this road. My past is not a secret, yet it is also not a fairy tale. Can I ask Andre to walk down this aisle with me understanding all that past comes with me?

The obvious answer to that question is yes, but I will always question, that is a part of what got me to THIS moment. I have the ability to say What If? Mind you I do not always have the ability to do the right thing after the question, but this question was an easy yes.
