It's Been a Long Time!!!

Hey Y'all
I haven't been on lately because I have been working so much at Dollywood but there's been a lot to say, such as James and I got ourselves a 2015 Chevy Spark, we got Sparky in May of 2015, and we absolutely love having our own car and we don't have to depend on people driving us everywhere, on Christmas of 2015 James finally got down on one knee and asked me to marry him in front of the Christmas tree so that's what ended 2015, James and I got officially engaged, I have a diamond engagement ring from Jared on my left ring finger, it's simply gorgeous and most of all I picked it out, our engagement video in up on Youtube, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKOmlTOzId0 and while James and I are offically engaged and planning our wedding for 8-18-18, we started looking at places to live since we are engaged and needed to be out on our own, we looked at every apartment (low-income and high end) and thought we found the "one." While I was in Missouri to visit my family, James called me and told me the place we put our names down on the waiting list called and told him they had an apartment for us so when I came home to transfer back into the restaurant I worked at in Dollywood, we went to give them paystubs, so we thought ok this is it we finally found ourselves a home, we thought it was it and we can sign the papers and we can get the keys, oh no it wasn't, the lady called us one day and said she needed more paperwork such as more paystubs and unemployment (wasn't eight paystubs enough since it was government housing and plus we were on the waiting list for a year and a half) so we drove over to the apartment complex, and gave her more papers, she said she would call us once corporate decided so we waited, while we waited for the phone call, we looked at other places just in case we weren't qualified. So we finally got the phone call and the lady said we qualified and bring money orders in (we took a tour of the apartment and thought it had potential) so we were about to until the lady said they peek in our apartments unannounced, they look in our groceries and car, and we couldn't hang anything up on the walls, so we talked to James' Mom about it and she said that wouldn't be for us so back to the start we went and we called them and turned down the apartment (boy were they mad) , and then when we were down on our luck we remembered that we looked at these luxury apartments when I first moved down here and thought we can never afford it, well with me working at Dollywood at full time most of the time, we could afford it. So we went to the office and filled out paperwork just to see if we get approved and since we waited for a month and half for the government housing to approve us we were scared, so we went to Walmart to get some things and we received the phone call from the Overlook at Allensville Square (the apartment we had just looked at) and they approved us, (yay!!!) so we went the next day and put money down and they put us on the list for a two bedroom and two bathroom to move into on April 28th, 2016. So in April we officially moved into our own apartment and we have never been happy, we have a pool, gym, and our own space, also this year I celebrated my dirty thirty birthday and James took me to Asheville, North Carolina and we went to the Biltmore, I couldn't ask for a better birthday is to celebrate with the love of my life in a beautiful state and in our own place where we can call a home.
