Shining with brilliance in the dusty corner of the room was a grandmother's old lamp.

"It is exquisite MeeMee," the young bride-to be said as her eyes twinkled with delight.

"We hand carried it from Austria just before the war broke out."

Sheesh, I've moved so many times in my life, I could write a how-to book.

I suppose by default I've become quite the expert on moving.

Now as fate would have it, I find myself gearing up for another move.

The shipping boxes have not been packed yet, but that will come soon enough. For right now I'm simply trying to mentally place and merge the furniture and household goods that I wouldn't want to part with in an already fully furnished home.

This should be fun! Haha!

I'll be one happy camper when the transition is complete and everything is nice and neat and I can concentrate on my new husband and all which that will entail, plus of course my writing and my business. Yep I'll be a happy camper or perhaps I should say one happy but busy, busy camper!

While I would have been thrilled with a cigar band, I'm tickled pink with the engagement ring that sparkles on my left hand. It is absolutely beautiful.

But so much more than the ring or the dress or all the hoopla of the coming nuptials and celebration is the amazing man I'm marrying!

All of the wedding details seem to be falling effortlessly into place. Yesterday I bought my dress. Early this morning I decided on my colors for the wedding.

The big news in my world is that I'm engaged!

I'm delighted with the vision of being married to the man I love, but it is the process of planning the wedding ceremony and reception that leaves me gasping.

As much as I love beautiful, elegant celebrations...my work as a caterer and an event planner has taught me that exquisite, seamless events require meticulous planning, plenty of time and boatloads of green.
