Proud of Chanel!

What a great episode to relive. As the season is coming to an conclusion a lot of things are really coming full circle.

I am so ecstatic for Chanel and for her lovely sister and family. Chanel finally got to give her long awaited speech! Which was a complete hit, and she totally rocked it! I can only imagine the plethora of emotions she was feeling during the wedding. When I watched my sibling get married, I was so overcome with joy and happiness it felt as if I was in a dreamlike state. It is truly such a beautiful thing to watch two people exchange their vows and make a lifetime commitment to one another. For two people to be ready to share with all their loved ones that they are ready to grow old together and to be one another’s partner throughout life is truly one of lives many beautiful blessings. The thought alone gives me the chills (of joy). It is really beautiful and I so grateful I was able to see Ashley Omari get married. I felt like I was there! I would like to take a moment to wish Ashley, Danny, and the Omaris Mazel Tov. May Ashley and Danny share a lifetime filled with all of the love, health, and happiness in the world. 

Dinner with my parents and Rob was extremely humorous to watch. The truth is Rob and I have had our highs and our lows, and have not always had the so-called “perfect relationship.” But, I have come to realize relationships do not have to be at all. Relationships do take work, but the benefits always shine through. We have grown a lot together, and during this episode you really get to see how our relationship is evolving to the next level. I did however feel a little bad for Rob that my dad put him on the spot about getting engaged. Although this is something I absolutely want, I do not want to rush, and make sure we are both ready to make that commitment to one another. I do however complete understand where my dad is coming from. He has always believed in being engaged prior to living together and I do have to respect his wishes, even if it is just me taking them into consideration. 

So stayed tuned for next week! It was one heck of an episode! You do not want to miss it!
