April 12, 2010 was the first day, I am consciously aware of, that Joshua and I did NOT get into one fight all day. Yes, it is possible! The funny thing is that the entire day went by with out either one of us making a mental note of it. We only discovered this until today after I commented that thus far we had not gotten into any fights and that’s when Joshua noted to me that not even yesterday had we not gotten upset at one another. Wow, it’s nice to know that we can have a taste of peace. Will it last through out the next 14 more months and 15 days left until we tie the knot? We shall see. May 28th, 2011 is our big day and a lot is going to happen in between now and then.
Both Joshua and I are Catholic and have decided to marry within the Catholic Church. It has always been my dream to have a church wedding and being raised Catholic all my life it’s going to be an amazing experience to receive the sacrament of marriage with Joshua by my side. We recently had or first marriage counseling session in which we took a long survey about our relationship that is supposed to help out with issues that have not been communicated enough or at all and during the initial session with our pastor he asked me, "Diana, are you ready to marry such a free man?" I had no response to him and in a way I think he intended it to be a rhetorical question but if I were to answer his question now, I would say to him, "yes, Monsignor Torgerson I am so let's set that date in stone!"

A Journey Through A Year In The Life of My Engagement
There are days that I wondered if there was something wrong with me because I found myself fighting with my fiancé over the simplest to deepest of issues almost on a daily basis. When I inquired about how my other girlfriends had weathered their engagement I got some consolation in realizing that the fighting is a normal process and that over time it will subside if both partners are willing to evolve and change as time goes by. This is a blog dedicated to the ups and downs of being engaged and how it can all seem so serious when you are in the thick of it but once removed, even for just a minute, from the fighting it all seems so funny especially when you focus on what is truly important to the two of you; and that is that you have found one another and have decided to make one of the most amazing commitments to each other, and that is a miracle.
