Update on US! (long--our story)
Sorry I haven't been on here much lately. Not having my laptop, has really limited my computer time as now I have to share!! Our latest news is that Randall and I own a house now!! We were looking for a place and this just fell into our laps. Thank God! It is an older home, and needs a little work, but for the price, we couldn't pass it up!! Its 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, hardwood floors through out. There is a fireplace in almost every room. Its one level. Its beautiful. Randall and the kids moved in this week. He has been soooooo busy!!! He hasn't been on much either. He is going to be done tomorrow with moving and cleaning. So he will be already to come up here!! He has to take a minister's test next week and then he leaves for MN!! WE cannot wait to see each other. I miss him soo much. 3 months until we are married!!
Some have asked how we met. Actually a year ago, I was on the christianity forum and noticed that there was a daily coffee talk post. I loved to read them and noticed that everyday Randall would drink a different coffee. I just had to find out how many different coffees he drank and if he alphebatized them. AND I thought that he must really like coffee or he is really addicted to it!! LOL. So he replied to me and we began messaging each other. I did read his profile and thought that he would be a cool person to be friends with and from what I read we had a few things in common. I actually thought he was married at the time. Neither one of us was not looking for love, or for another person. His wife had passed away a 2 1/2 years ago and I was on this website looking for info and support. Never did I think I would meet someone on a website that was dealing with a very personal issue to me, my weight. This was the LAST place I would have found love, LOL. But God always has a plan. He eventually invited me to participate on the Alabama board and then we really began messaging each other. So..we communicated for a while and I began to develop feelings for him soon after my surgery. (In fact, I remember him calling my cell phone twice the day of my surgery to make sure I was ok, but I was soo looped out on pain meds, I couldn't have a normal conversation, LOL). In late January, he went on an OH cruise and a mutual friend confronted him about me. About how he felt and I felt. They had a life changing conversation. When he got back, things really took off. We began to talk on the phone 3-4 times a day and this led to us falling in love, meeting and getting engaged, and soon to be married!! He is my soulmate, my bestfriend, my future husband! I have never felt soo connected and in love with someone as I am with him. We have sooo mu*****ommon and I love him and trust him with all my heart. I have never been able to say this of anyone. God has blessed me more than I could ever think of.
We are all on this journey together. I could not have gotten this far in my journey, my life without you all!! I could not have lost 100 pounds without you, your support and your friendship. God has truely blessed me and placed each of you in my life to help along the way!! I am honored and blessed. I would have never thought my life would change this much this year. I am soo glad I continued on and had this surgery. This surgery and God have saved my life!!
I love you all!!

Holy Catfish, sweetie - how can you focus on ANYTHING, with SO MANY THINGS going on at once??? CONGRATS on the house!!!
I remember that turning point with you and Randall - you were so afraid to believe it could be happening, so excited that your friendship could be turning into something much more! And NOW look at you! It has been so fun to watch the whole thing blossom!
I so can't wait to meet Mr. Culpepper - you know, size him up, make sure he's worthy of our Lucy and all.... 
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
