Although this time I do have an excuse. I hadn’t been feeling the best emotionally since early March with work issues and the virus. It seemed both wanted me as low as possible. On top of work wearing me thin, I felt I needed a PC break. Plus, the virus ended up costing me a few plans which made me have some situational depression since everything was kicking me all at once. So, I took a week away from chat to clear my head and try to get my emotions in check. While I was off in a mild depression, M was making plans of his own to make up for one of the things the virus made us cancel.

Last Friday after my therapy appointment that adorable man texted me and asked if I wanted to see a movie with his sister and brother-in-law; however instead of the movies they took M and I to the airport instead. Surprise vacation to Florida; he and his sister had packed my luggage and I had zero idea about the secret trip. My thoughts were great someone forgot to pack my underwear, favorite foundation, or my travel hair dryer.

So last week I also wasn’t around seeing as how I was in Florida and he didn’t pack my laptop. I needed to just get away and forget about work issues and this damned virus. During the trip he proposed.

I’M ENGAGED!!! M proposed after a year and a few months of dating. He proposed in the Florida Keys on a sunset cruise. I cried and I am very excited to be engaged.

Due to recent travel; my work is putting me on a work from home ‘quarantine’ since we did visit Florida even though the country, we stayed in does not have any reported cases. Still, I understand their precaution and I know our boys will thrilled to have us both working from home. I haven’t been able to see my parents since when we first started getting positive cases I asked both my parents to see about working from home. The are still young but they both have some health issues that places them into another bracket. So, my parents know about the engagement, but they haven’t been able to hug us or gawk at the ring; our celebrate the engagement properly.

My parents will be celebrating 26 years of marriage this year; and 26 years later in the same month their daughter gets engaged.

That is my update for the week. I hope you all are doing well and are staying healthy.

Lots of hugs

What a fantastic surprise trip ! Congrads on your engagement
