For picking my step dad and mom as one of your 10 lucky couples for your KLT’s Most Excellent Wedding event on December 13th, 2008 at Leelanau Sands Casino.

My mom and step dad have been married for….uhm geesh I don’t even know. A really long time anyways. And they never had a ‘real’ wedding or wedding reception. It was a justice of the peace wedding and I honestly don’t think they even had any sort of reception but they might of had a small get together with family. So it was kind of cool that after my step dad entered the contest that they were chose as one of the couples!

It’s going to be like the wedding they never had. There will be a ceremony followed by dinner and dancing! It’s gonna be a blast and I can’t wait to have a night out. Especially after the recent events with my crummy car. But I’m kind of excited too because I’ll have a date. Yes a date.

Bet ya’ll are wondering how that came about

I haven’t wrote about him (my ‘friend’ D) which seems funny considering I generally don’t hold back anything. And he doesn’t know about my blog. But I guess I just haven’t wrote because I wasn’t sure there was anything to write about. But I think when you look forward to hearing from someone everyday and wonder when you’ll get to see him again then there’s something to write about

He’s older (not by much – only a couple years). He has a good job. He knows what he wants out of life. He’s cute. He’s nice. I enjoy spending time with him. I enjoy talking to him. He’s smart. He’s funny. He’s cute (oh did I mention that already…LOL). He’s a single dad. He’s kind. He’s caring. He’s a good guy. I’d like to spend more time with him but he lives about an hour away from me so I don’t get to see him much.

Yeah so I guess I had something to write about Anyways I talked to him on the phone last night and while I had thought about asking him to join me as my date I just hadn’t done it. And then for some reason I just came out and asked him. Realized the worst that would happen is he would tell me no but he didn’t. It’s going to be fun!

And I’m even looking forward to getting all dressed up girly. The dress I’m wearing is so cute! Yes I’m wearing a dress. I’m borrowing it from my best friend (aren’t best friends the greatest?) and the fact that I’m even wearing a DRESS is a huge milestone for me. Dresses just aren’t my thing. But this one fit great, including the ‘girls’ that I so often have a hard time finding anything other than t-shirts to fit those babies. It’s a simple black dress with a silver sparkly belt and then I’ll dress it up even more by finding a little jacket thing to wear over it (it’s sleeveless), some cute highheels (which I’m curious if I’ll even REMEMBER how to walk in those things!) and of course some jewelry.

It was nice posting something postive today unlike yesterday’s ‘downer’ post! I thought it was bad being up North with a broken down car – it really does suck even more in the city.

Oh and to the big man upstairs – could you please just miraculously drop a car in the driveway for me? I’m not picky. Ok not too picky. I’d just like one that is DRIVEABLE, RELIABLE, has ALL windows that roll down, has doors that lock and that’s about it. (told ya I wasn’t too picky!)
