Oh dear the posts are getting further and further apart. Either I am busy or just not in a writing frame of mind or.... It is probably some of both and other things. I find it hard to write now that I am in the states as compared to when I was in Ghana. So many things were different and interesting there - it was easy to write. But here where most everything is known and comfortable it is much harder to write. There is a lot going on internally but at this time it is too deep and personal to share on a public domain. So I find myself apologizing again for the lack of communication on this front. Updating on facebook is so much easier, isn't it? :)

I will let those of you who are still checking this blog know that I am engaged. Yep... may be hard to believe but it is true. I met a guy last Aug/Sept and we have spent the last 11 months or so getting to know each other. We became "serious" and intentional back in Jan. His name is Dean and I love to tell people that he picked me up in a bar b/c he did!! We both do country dancing and I met him through a mutual friend at the local place where we dance. He is a fantastic 2-stepper and a great lead. Well he can do most any couples country dance and do it well. I love dancing with him. We have a lot in common and the most important thing is that he loves the Lord with all his heart. He is a good, honest, kind man and I am blown away that God crossed our paths. He proposed just about 2 weeks ago and we will be having a small, intimate wedding in Oct. I'll be moving to WI where he now lives once we are married.

So I am sure that is another reason I haven't been writing as much. Well this is just the briefest of updates but at least it is something. I'll try to be better at keeping up!! Blessings.
