Something I love about this blog is being able to see in words how my life has balanced itself out. To see those moments when I felt completely defeated, or those moments where I was over the moon with excitement.
I have documented my first week of diagnosis, to my celebrations of diaversaries. I have detailed my trials and tribulations though College and University and breathed a sense of accomplishment when I completed both my diploma and my degree. I have documented the fears and challenges I faced while training and eventually climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and I have shared my gratitude for those fellow type 1's I have met along the way. I have shared my heartbreak during tough times in my life when relationships ended and family or friends had passed on. I have opened up my life story, one chapter at a time, diabetes related or not.
Today, I add a new chapter by announcing my engagement to my beloved Mike. He came into my life in 2014 and we decided on forever May 22nd 2017. With this comes so much excitement as planning a wedding and being a bride has been on my mind since I was young. Mike has been one of my biggest supporters in all of my endeavors, including diabetes.
He has been there through my highs and lows, he has picked up my numerous empty juice boxes, rocket packages and test strips and he knows that while diabetes is not easy on either of us, we both can make it manageable and work along side it along our journey together.
I am ecstatic, and so happy to see this chapter unfold.

Aw! Mike and I both cried when I read it out loud to him!
ReplyDeleteReally hope we can have you with us! xo
Congratulations to you and Mike, Kayla. One word for wedding day, Bring Lots of rockets with you. If you're like me, you're going to drop all day long. I wish I had had a meter and a pump back when, it would have made the day SO much easier on me.
