Hi everyone,<p>Ok, so I don't post much at all anymore. But I do still read and have a lot of friends who post here.<p>Major things have been happening here. I started dating an incredible man in November. Things have moved along quite quickly but it's all been great!<p>So...on March 8th, he and I are getting married!! Some of you may think that it's too quick and that's ok. I realize that also. But this is something that I'm very sure of. It doesn't matter to me how long we've been together. I dated my ex for 3 1/2 years and it turned out to be the marriage from hell. <p>I'm not nervous about this at all and I haven't had a hard time trusting him. We talk all of the time and he knows all about my ex and how he treated me and my children. He is nothing like my ex. He is good to me and my kids. And ya know what? He doesn't mind that I have 3 sons that he will become the primary father figure for. And his 2 sons get along with me and my children well. <p>After 2 years of being on my own and finding out who I really am and what I want, I finally found happiness. <p>Love,
Mitzi [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Mitzi,<p>You take care. I share your happiness, but also tell you that it is OK to go a bit slower, too.<p>Wishing you the happiness you deserve, Desiree

Desiree,<p>Thanks for the well wishes and also for the concern. I know that it would be ok to go a bit slower. You know how you get those gut feelings when you just know that something is right? This is one of those times for me. I'm happier than I've been in years.<p>Love,
Mitzi [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Hi Mitzi,<p>I'm so so happy for you. This is wonderful news. <p>Like the others, I say 'slow' is ok, but you're right about one thing. Our gut feelings. I think after all that we have been through, we are more in tune with ourselves than ever before. And nobody knows better than you how YOU feel.<p>So, if you're happy, I'm happy.<p>All my very best wishes girl, and you remind Terry that if he ever does wrong by you, you have people in EVERY corner of the globe that will hunt him down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<p>But then again, after all we have learnt at MB, you've already got that sussed and that last comment of mine was not needed was it!!??<p>Wow, this is so good. When you said Vegas, is that where you're getting married.?<p>It's quite trendy here at the moment to 'pop' over to Vegas to get married. And no, I don't mean Bris-Vegas!!!<p>Keep us posted<p>lots of love and hugs to you both<p>Jo<p>ps What color frock would you like me to wear....
I don't want to clash with the Bride...........

Congratulations Mitzi! <p>BTW, my parents have been married 40 years (second marriage for both) and they knew it was right after only two weeks together. They still, to this day, look at each other with love and affection in their eyes! I wish the same for you!! And me one day!<p>Jen

Bob,<p>Thanks! I'm so glad that everyone here has been happy about this. Honestly, I kinda worried about posting this because I know that this type of news isn't always the easiest for some to read or respond to. <p>God bless you too!<p>Bonnet Jo!<p>YES! I'm getting married in Las Vegas! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] I keep telling Terry that I'm going to get an Elvis impersonator to perform the ceremony or sing! LOL Plus while we're in that section of the states, we're going to go to the Grand Canyon! I'm extremely excited but also nervous about flying! YIKES!! I've never been on a plane! LOL LOL<p>THanks so much Jo!<p>
Peppermint,<p>Thanks a bunch! I honestly think that I will be happier than I've ever been. So far, I have been and it just keeps getting better! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Jen,<p>Thanks! It's funny you mentioned that about your parents. Terry and I had only been dating for about 3 weeks and he told me that he was going to marry me one day. And I felt the same way. He's perfect marriage material! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I also wish the same happiness for you and everyone else here! <p>Love you all!

Congratulations, Mitzi! I'm so happy for you, but sad because another good one's been snatched away. :-)<p>Really, God bless you both! <p>Aloha,
Ms.O<p>PS Did I miss it, or what's his name? What's he like? How did you meet? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Ms. O,<p>Enquiring minds, huh? LOL LOL<p>My STBH's name is Terry. We were introduced by mutual friends. He had asked me for my phone # because one of my friends told him I was single. I told him that I wasn't going to give it to him because the last time I gave my phone # to a guy, he turned out to be a loser! LOL So, he asked my friend and she gave it to him. Now I'm glad she did! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>He's 28, the father of 2 of the cutest little red-haired boys, he spent some time in the marines, and is now a guard for the Maryland Department of Corrections.(UNIFORM!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] ) He is also very honest, talkative and he makes me laugh. Plus he's very affectionate and that's great for me! <p>AND he's pretty easy on the eyes too! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] He's 6'3" and about 220 lbs. with dark hair and brown eyes. <p>He's perfect!<p>Thanks for asking! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Mitzi [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Wow, Mitzi...<p>He sounds like a dream! Have you been pinched lately to see if this is real?!<p>Seriously though, I wish for you all the best and as some have already stated, given what you've been thru (what we've all been thru) we know what is in our gut and I pray that you find the peace, joy and happiness in these next years!<p>It's so nice to hear of a successful story with a happy ending!<p>Blessings,
Nicole
