I spent NYE with my brand new Fiance' (insert big smile). We went to Watch Night Service at our church where gospel recording artist Kurt Carr performed. We really enjoyed ourselves and are still basking in the excitement of our engagement. Upon reflection last night, I remember being at the same service just 2 years ago. I blogged about it here. I met Mr. Mixologist just 16 days later. See how the Lord can order your steps ?
We left church answered all the NYE calls & text messages & then and headed to my girlfriends house where she, her guy and their children were having a good old fashioned NYE gathering at home. We got to toast with Champagne, my Beau got to light his first Cigar of 2012 and we were treated to a wonderful home cooked breakfast prepared by all of their daughters. It was yummy. We laughed, talked, listened to music and even slow danced to the new Anthony Hamilton CD and did not get to bed until 4:30AM !

Congratulations! I'm wishing you and the Mr. all joy and more love.
It sounds like you stated the year off right and that' a good sing for things to come. *smooches*
I love this pic of you and Mr. Mixologist. Make sure this one makes it into the collage of photos you show at your engagement party/reception. Perfect way to start 2012!

I don't know if in all the excitement I ever congratulated you! I'm so very happy and excited for the both of you. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations on the engagement and wishing you continued happiness. Yes, I agree. It's interesting how it really does appear as if God ordered those steps.
I know you are extremely happy! Good deal.

Thank you. We just have to learn to trust Him and His timing :)
OK so I went back to January 2010 and read EVERY SINGLE POST until now. It is amazing how God can take what we think is our lowest point in life and make it the beginning of our elevation. The journey of you two is AMAZING. As someone who also has endometriosis (diagnosed between first and second son) I know that God is not through with you yet. I thank God for the journey. Your life is a true testimony. Your dedication to your nieces and nephews and the children God has surrounded you with shows that He allows you to be mother to many. I enjoyed catching up with you.
@Newy
