A Title Change???

Well...for those of you who haven't abandoned me & my blog (due to inactivity), a lot has happened & changed in my life since my last post. I was able to get in to see an endocrinologist & was found to have very low levels of the thyroid hormone. The specialist increased my medicine, and it seems to have done the trick. I'm very thankful for that!!!

On the job front, I was notified the end of April that my teaching position was being eliminated at the end of the school year due to budget cuts. It was a bit surreal...was pretty sure it was coming, but I've never been let go from a position. For the first time in my life (since beginning my teaching career 12 years ago), I was without a job. It's definitely been an adjustment, but I know that God has a plan for me so I'm trying to rest in that fact & not fret (although that's easier said than done sometimes).

Due to my job situation, I moved down to Charlotte, North Carolina to live with my parents. I never planned to be living back here, but I am so thankful that they were here to help me! I'm not sure what I would have done had I not had them!!!

Now to the title of this post...I'm getting married!!! For those of you who didn't know or haven't heard the story...here it is:

6 years ago...in a land up north...my youngest sister, Marsha, went to her first SoloCon with me (it was my 3rd SoloCon, but my 1st on in Michigan). After the first small group session, she came back & told me that she'd just met my future husband. I just laughed at her. =) Throughout the weekend & the coming years she continued to comment on my future husband & even began referring to him as her BIL (brother-in-law). Marsha was sure to introduce me to Ron that first weekend and a friendship was formed that continued to grow over the course of the next several years. For the past two years, we have openly talked about our feelings for each other but there were some obstacles that Ron just couldn't get past. Marsha would continually say that it was going to work out for us, but I had come to believe that there was no chance Ron & I would ever be more than friends. Well...Marsha was right! =) God worked in & through a series of events that brought us together. And...on May 1, 2010...I will become Mrs. Ron Mohney!!!

So...I will no longer be sleeping single in a double bed. Woooohoooo!!! It's been a long time coming...but Ron is definitely worth every single minute I've waited for the person God chose for me!
