Fiancee’ proposed last month and was having my ring custom made so it took a bit to get here. I am obsessed and it’s exactly what I wanted :,)
Don’t mind my crusty nails lmao
Unsure of specs. But it’s lab grown Alexandrite for main stone, finger size 6.75.
I finally met my person last year and he came with the two most beautiful little girls.
A little bit about me: I have never birthed children nor had I ever wanted to. I have never wanted to get married. Every relationship I have been in has been very depressing, anticlimactic, and I’m usually left disappointed or traumatized. I was always used to settling and was the person who thought “but mommy I can change him!” And I never believed I deserved good things, and if I had a good thing it would be taken away.
Last April, I met a man at work while I was going through a pretty rough time. I had left my relationship of 6 years (granted it lasted 2 more years than it should have) and was in the middle of moving. We were talking about our tattoos and it turns out my tattoo artist was one of his best friends. Before we went our separate ways he asked me my name and ended up connecting with me on instagram.
I was not looking for a new relationship, I had actually been excited to be single for the first time in over half a decade, but I decided to get to know him.
We hit it off really fast, we had so much in common. He matched my goofy, hyper, high energy self. He is emotionally mature, he has helped me overcome traumas, his communication skills are top-notch, he’s empathetic, he has never raised his voice, he listens and takes my feelings into account during every decision, he is intelligent, cuddly, and we have a LOT of fun in the bedroom. He is genuinely my best friend and we never get sick of spending time together, of just being in each other’s presence. I truly now understand why they say “when you know, you know”. I feel like everything I ever wanted in a man was given to me. I feel heard, I feel worshipped, I feel…happy. And I have never been happy.
I had never wanted children of my own, I have genes that do not need to be passed onto unsuspecting, innocent lives. So him bringing these two little girls into my life was absolutely perfect. I never knew the capacity I had for giving love until being brought into this family. And I have never received so much love from any person in my life.
He proposed last month, on our anniversary, and I said yes. (Really, his 6 year old daughter broke the news before he could because she was so excited, haha)
Now, it’s my first Mother’s Day as a future step mom and he made me crepes with whipped cream and fresh fruit for breakfast this morning, then steak with a bleu cheese/butter sauce and asparagus with bacon. 😭 the girls gave me Mother’s Day gifts and we celebrated the youngest’s 5th birthday yesterday. This whole weekend was perfect.
14 months ago I was extremely depressed, stressed, and unhappy. Now I am the happiest I have ever been. I have a family, like a REAL family.
I feel blessed.
