The Magical Wedding Day

So I'm not getting married for years. But I have been thinking a lot about my wedding day like most if not all women do. Richard proposed to me last Christmas, and it was the most amazing time of my life. I've never been happier than I have been with him. Ever since he proposed I've been thinking about the wedding. And even though we're not getting married until I'm over the age of twenty-five we already picked a date and a venue. I'm not going to give away all the details because I feel uncomfortable with that, but I will say we're getting married on my father's birthday in the future at Thornwood Castle in Tacoma, WA. I've already picked out my maid of honor and a couple of bridesmaids (Twin, Sammy, and Ice.) A sister of mine, Ashlynn wants to be the wedding planner, and I'm totally cool with that. Richard's father will be walking me down the aisle. Little Annaise will be the adorable flower girl. And Ethan, my younger brother, will honor me with the daddy/daughter dance. Richard and I are still deciding on guests only here and there. Richard has not been able to pick out a best man, but he has picked out some groomsmen; Eric (our brother),  Joey (one of his best friends), Maurice (another one of his best friends). They are all such great people. *smiles with grinning eyes* I would love to meet Twin, Sammy, Ashlynn, and Adam in person before the wedding.
A thought about my wedding has not been able to leave my mind is that I knew three amazing friends in high school that I had thought would be at my wedding; Cody, Matt, and Mike. But after I was proposed to I only really saw inviting Matt. Cody and I had a falling out soon after I was proposed to, and I never knew Mike well enough to see him as a friend. It doesn't help that he's so far up Cody's butt that I can't even talk to him unless he can bring up Cody and our falling out. But things happen. People leave your life, and I guess sometimes I wish Mike got that. Anyway, Matt has to come to the wedding because he's always been such an amazing friend since we met.
I guess the crazy part to me about being engaged would have to be the part where I'm actually engaged. When I was younger and living with my abusive mother she convinced me that I would never get a boy to even like me. My stepmother had convinced me the same thing, but when I met Richard I just knew he'd be very important to me. And as I got to know him I knew he would be the perfect husband to me. He also thinks I'll be the perfect bride. <3

Treasured Memories Part II

A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon

What a Wonderful Day!

So over the past week I was able to go to BookCon in Manhattan. I always loved it there because you get to see new and old books, you get to meet authors, and some of the books are on sale. Richard and I got thirteen books while we were there. Five were given to us as a gift. We adopted another five books that were abandoned, and we bought three books. I even met a self-published author who was really cool. I bought five of his stories in just two books. The author is David V. Mammina. We talked about how he went to a few Cons, but when you're trying to sell dark fantasy books BookCon is definitely the place to be. He gave me a deal on the second one. I had to finish reading Maximum Ride Forever by James Patterson before I could start reading any book from BookCon. I just finished Maximum Ride Forever last night. I will only say one thing in case fans of the series are reading this post. Dylan earned my respect. Just today I started the Redeem the Knight Trilogy, and even though I
