Ok people, my BFF has gotten engaged. I haven’t used that term since I was 13. Now, this isn’t earth shattering blog like material that many choose to write about, but I will let you in on the beauty of it. I have known my BFF for 30 years now, that is right, 30 years. How many people can say that?

I love her like one of my sisters. She has been with The Sarge for 9 years or so. She has followed him to 3 different states, waited for him to return from Djibouti and put her life in a holding pattern more than once. We have been wishing for many of years for him to have his eureka moment. You know, the second where he decides that he can’t be without her. As a side note, my BFF is one of the kindest, caring, empathetic people in the world. She is also a fellow nurse that works in geriatrics and you have to have a good heart to do that!

Well thank the lord! I got the call this morning that the Sarge and her had bought the ring. My response was less than perfect. What the shit is wrong with me. I was at a loss for words which NEVER happens. I giggled and stuttered while I searched for words. I regret the reaction. If I had the moment back I would say; I am so happy that you are happy, you deserve the best and I know the Sarge will treat you well, I can’t wait for your wedding day.

Through all of their years together there have been many of doubts and opinions about their relationship. I have to give my BFF props in that she listened to them all quietly and stayed true to her heart. I am happy beyond words for her. She deserves all the best in the world!!!!!
