Hello, again...

It has been so long since I've written on this blog. A lot has happened in that time. The main thing being that The Boyfriend is now The Fiance, having proposed back in March. We just had our one year anniversary on Monday, October 13th. Some people may think that being engaged after only 6 months is a huge mistake and a judgment lapse, but I can assure you, it is more right than I can explain.

My main reason for starting this blog was to tell my story about the rocky relationship with The Ex, but after writing for a couple months, it became clear that it was doing more harm than good in my current relationship. I think the fact that we had just started out together, and were still finding our foothold in the partnership maybe made things feel a little uncertain when it came to me spilling my guts about a past relationship. We've since worked past that, and are all the more strong for all of the experiences we've had since then.

I have discovered a whole other side to myself in this relationship. I've learned that good, healthy communication is key and that sharing yourself with another person completely can be rewarding and just plain awesome!

The title of this blog is "The Runaway Bride: Tales From the Edge and Back"...well, I'm starting my journey to the "and Back" part, but there is still so much to say.

So, I'm back. For better or worse, this story will get told, including a re-cap of the last AMAZING year.
