Just thought I would pop on here and give an update from my end. Haven't been here in a long time! Many things have happened in our lives since last winter.
First, for the last few years we have been renovating a 100 year old house from top to bottom. We're finally coming to the end of the renovations. We should be paving the driveway, and installing the deck over the summer/fall, doing some landscaping and then we're finished!
Second, in March, Rob had a very serious car accident. He was hit on the driver's side of his car by an 18 wheeler which then made his car spin around and get wedged to the front grill of the truck. Think of the truck and car as a 'T' formation where Rob's car was the top of the 'T'. It then dragged him into a busy intersection. He suffered nerve damage to the left side of this body. Literally, he couldn't use his left arm or hand without it going numb. He's been going through therapy and he's seeing a nerve specialist soon to determine if the remaining injuries are permanent or will be resolved through therapy. We've also started a lawsuit against the driver for Rob's injuries. We found out this is the trucker's THIRD accident. :mad: Don't even get me started on this one.
As you can imagine, the last few months have been extremely scary. He literally would have been killed if the truck driver was going any faster (it was lunch time, so there was some traffic which slowed the traffic flow). He really had an angel looking out for him that day.
Finally, the last event that is taking up my time is planning a wedding! Yep, we're getting married. :) We've been together for 14 years living common law, but his near death accident has changed our thinking and we want to now get married. I really didn't want a formal wedding - church, poofy white dress etc. etc. It's so not me.
After talking with family/friends, reading everything and anything on wedding locations we have decided to get married in Belize! I'll be getting married on the beach and 10 family members will be joining us. I've almost nailed down all the reservations, so we would be flying down there this winter and staying at these two resorts:
Getting married here:

Now I just need to find a beach wedding dress, make final resort reservations and we'll be all set. :love:

Steve and Gigi are both doing well. Still having typical brother and sister type arguments:

But they still love each other in the end:

That's the update from my side of the globe. :)
