MY SISTER IS ENGAGED!!!

Sooo, I was sitting at work on what seemed to be the longest Friday in life. I get this phone call to my private line...I see Keitra's number and I'm thinking "what does she want".  I answer the phone and what does she say??.............................................."I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!" Yes, you heard right...my sister is engaged to the love of her life and I am not sure if I have ever been happier.  Like I have been so spastic I can barely focus on the task at hand.  Creston proposed in such a unique way! I'm dying to tell you all but I'll wait until she starts a blog....it will be 10x better coming from the bride:)

This is like the most beautiful ring EVER....bling!!!!
She has love allllll over that face



But in all honesty, I am so happy for Creston and Nakeitra.  I know Creston will be an awesome addition to our family.  In the 5 years I have known him, we have never had a bad moment. He is a true example of a MAN. If I had to choose a guy for my sister to marry....I would pick someone God-fearing, goal oriented, a sense of humor, someone who was raised to respect a lady and know his role as a man....I would pick Creston Burse. (Gah I can't believe I'm saying all these nice things about him ...gag!)  I know Keitra will make a beautiful bride because she is truly a beautiful woman, inside and out.  I'm not saying this because she is my sister (well maybe I am) but Keitra has really been my inspiration.  She once told me "When you put your trust in God and start living right, all other things will fall in place." As I step back and look at her life, professionally and personally, I see this statement.  She has accomplished so much at such a young age...well not so young now :) LOL! I now have full faith in the saying "patience will pay off" because it truly has for her.  I've truly said truly way too many times......

Very old pic but one of their firsts of many..iLOVE it

Now I have never been married, nor have I planned a wedding...but I can image it's about to get verrrrry hectic and stressful. I already know she is going to be a bridezilla so I may as well get ready!  I told her if she gets too crazy I will drop out of the wedding hahahaha. Of course I would never do that!  This is a once in a lifetime experience (well it better be) and I want her to cherish every.single.moment.  It's all about you sis!  You are about to embark on a journey that many of us have dreamt (isn't that the correct tense?) of since childhood.  I am soooo excited and I'm here to help every step of the way.  I'm sure there will be some nights when I want to jump out of my 2nd story window, but I'll deal :)  So let the wedding planning, wine sipping, late night calling and texting until you walk down the aisle and say "I do" begin.

Until next time...
XOXO
