Some good news and bad...
*whew* This weekend was crazy! But very, very fun! I wasn't at work yesterday so I'll just have to fill you in on it today. So sit back and relax cause this may take a while.
Friday night worked out so well. Ronny was really surprised with the tickets and really pleased. He met me at work. Was doing street work up to my job which was really cool. That boy is brave to be doing street work in such a ritzy area! But he had some success. A few people took the magazines. Anyways, we went to the movie and it was really good!! I would totally recommend it to anyone. I thought it was great.
Saturday we went out to Long Island to spend the day at Jackie and Matt's congregation picnic. That was so much fun! We took the LIR train to Seaford where Jackie and Matt picked us up and then we went to Bethpage State Park. Spent the day eating burgers and hotdogs, playing volleyball and then afterwards went to Jackie's mom's house and went swimming in her pool. Its such a shame but I havent gone swimmnig in like 2 years!!! But that was so fun! We had a great time with Jackie and Matt.
Sunday we went to the meeting and Jackie and Matt met us in Queens and went to our meeting with us. Afterwards we all drove into the city and went to Central Park so Matt could take some engagement pics of us. (I'll post some of them as soon as I get them). It was fun but I'm so not used to posing for pics and felt a bit weird. But after a while we were more natural and just goofed off and had fun. It was a nice day all in all. One really cool thing was that on the way back to the car I was craving chocolate and told Ronny. He ran to a deli down the street. After a while I was wondering what was taking him so long when suddenly he came out carrying this beautiful bouquet of flowers with about 6 different bars of chocolate wrapped around it. To say the least I was very pleasantly surprised.
Things between us are getting better and better. I think despite the hardships we are growing closer and learning to help each other out when the other is stressed. Yesterday he called me from work and I went to pick him up. He was so happy to see me and that made me feel really good. I'm so very happy that soon he will be my mate for life. I already feel that he is....ok, guess its time to give the bad news:

Bad News:
Ronny's sister has decided to buy the house that we are living in from his brother. Unfortunately she has decided to move into it and has given us till Nov 1st to find a new place. Now as you can imagine at first I was totally overwhelmed and stressed about this. I am still concerned but feeling better. I know together we will find a home and we'll continue to pray about it. Its a bit rough right now with so many things to work out but we'll be ok. I know with him by my side and of course Jehovah we can do anything we put our minds to.

Good News:Finances have been tight but I found a new way to overcome that. Craigs List!!! It is like a dream come true. It posts all kinds of things like jobs and apartments. Anyways, last Friday I posted an ad for Pro Window Washing which me and Ronny do in Sweden. Ronny brought his equipment with him. I got 3 jobs lined up already!!!! Im so excited about it! And 2 of the 3 asked if we offer any other services so we might have some cleaning work as well. SOOOO happy about that. ALSO, I put an ad up for a calligraphy. I took some classes in school and did a friends wedding. I posted that Im a amateur looking to make some extra money and a lady responded back right away so hopefully that will turn out some people as well. I know if we put our resources together we will be fine. I just cant be afraid of trying new things.

So that is about it. Im meeting Ronny after work today. Can't wait. You know what? Despite whatever we have gone through, to be with him, it's all been worth it. I know things will never be easy, there will always be bumps in the road but I'm not afraid. I look forward to sharing everything with him, being with him, loving him. I couldn't ask for a better friend. He is so supportive of me. So tender and kind and can always make me laugh. I love you so much, Ronny. I can't wait to be your wife.

Ciao, guys!
