What's your resolution?

I am truly blessed this Christmas. I am surrounded by those who love me and appreciate me for who I really am. I am blessed for I have a wonderful fiance that I love more than this world, who has wonderful children who have taken me in as part of their family and loved me as much as I love them. For my parents, though they have struggled at times, I'd like to think they raised me right. I am also blessed with two sisters, who I have struggled with, but they are mine and I am theirs and I love them. For many great relatives (aunts, uncles, etc.), who have been there for me throughout the years. And for a soon to be in-law family who have blessed me with their open hearts. As I surround myself with the people who I am blessed with...I hope you are blessed as well this Christmas. Put all those differences aside and think about how blessed you really are.

I'm a Super Woman...Yes I am! Alicia Keys has always hit my heart with her music and tonight she has especially hit me with her song, "Superwoman". When you are trying to find the strength to deal with the ignorance around you and you're trying to be the better person...just listen to "Superwoman" or any empowering song that will help you find the strength you need to get through your bad day.

ScrapperMom asked, "I know this is your favorite topic, so I would like to know when is your wedding?..and how did your fiance and you meet?"
This is very cute of you to say that he is my favorite topic! (Blushing!) First I will begin with our beginning. Some people meet here and sometimes it can be difficult when others find out, but it was nice when we started to let everyone know we were dating. You don't want to tell everyone right away, especially if the relationship doesn't work. But I think because we met at work that it has made it easier on our relationship because we got to see each other and didn't have to go too far to do so! And now that we are getting married it's almost as if we are the relationship mascot of our company! We have a large company that has many warehouses in many different states, so there are a few other married couples who met through work. But we're the mascots at our warehouse!! LOL!
Now to answer the first part of your question, our wedding will be held in April of 2010. Having it a year and a half from now gives us time to plan and time to save. Until I really started planning and searching wedding sites online and wedding sections in the crafts stores, I didn't think I was the kind of girl who really wanted to be the "princess" bride. I didn't think it really mattered to me about certain details like flowers, colors, centerpiece arrangements, the bridesmaid dresses, my dress. But as I continue to search online, I have started to dream about the "perfect" dress, and the "perfect" way everything should look. Now I know that things don't always turn out the "perfect" way you want it to be and that there are going to be upsets...but nothing...and I mean nothing is going to upset me or ruin my day...even if the flowers don't turn out to be the "perfect blue" that I want them. It will be one of the, if not thee, happiest day of my life!

I'm going to follow in Mrs. Chickadee's steps and play the question game! So here I go: Is there anything about me (D. Marie) that you would like to know?
How Sweet!
How sweet the blog world can be when you find some really nice gals to talk to and to get advice from. Over at one of my fav blogs, Chickadee had asked her readers to ask her a question. And I was one of the lucky first to comment!! She made a post just on my question!! And here it is:
Dropping hints at Christmas
My first question!
D. Marie asks, "OK well I want to know how do you let your husband know what you want for Christmas without having to actually "tell" him! I know Christmas is about getting gifts...but I love scrapbooking but I feel bad when I keep spending my money on scrapbooking stuff when it should go towards the wedding or other things! "
My husband has always been really good at giving me gifts. He knows what I like, but he always asks too if there's anything I want. In the past I've made a list or given him a couple of suggestions. I know that falls under the category of "actually telling him," but is that so bad?
I guess you could whisper it in his ear when he's sleeping, leave magazines lying around with pages dog-eared or it always helps to have kids who can spill the beans.
Maybe my readers have some good suggestions about this. Can you help D. Marie drop the hint?
I just wanted to thank all my readers out there for always stopping by and I hope you and your families have a wonderful and safe Holiday this year!!!

What a wonderful Holiday weekend we had. My fiance cooked a delicious Thanksgiving feast...with two of my favorite sides...his pineapple stuffing and marshmallow yams!! I'm the only one who eats the yams...but he is that great that he goes through the trouble to make them for me. I am a lucky gal. I just cherish the holidays. We have hung our stockings and put our decorations all in a row in hopes that St. Nick will find our apartment on Christmas Eve! I can't wait to share the beautiful pictures...this year I got a little creative...well in my eyes I did!
Any how...the girls and I took it upon ourselves to have some fun with the video feature on my digital camera! I recorded some Christmas songs like, "Santa's Coming to Town" and "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree", on my cell phone and started to play them while we were decorating. That's when I got the idea to start lip-syncing to the songs and told the girls to join in!!! The videos are so funny...I laugh every time I watch them! They will def be one of my favorite holiday memories! It's so funny when the part of Santa's Coming to Town comes on because the girls look like they are screaming at the top of their lungs...but they are only mouthing the words! I'm very excited to see what fun Christmas weekend brings along!
