Retirement

I'm going into retirement,
I hear it's kinda nice.
Nothing beats staying up late,
sleepin in, and endless games of dice.

Some are in shock at my decision,
yes, believe me, it's true.
But trust me, after hearin bout it,
you'll be wishin it was you.

I'm not retirin from the army,
a job, the day, or even to my bed.
If I didn't do this right away,
I would hope to soon be dead.

I made a firm decision,
no more dates for me.
You can try to convince me otherwise,
But I ain't listenin to your plea.

I am done with the group ones,
set-ups, awkward first dates, and such.
I am tired of givin out my phone number,
and reasons why I don't want to go for lunch.

I'm throwin in the towel,
my dad is grateful that it's time.
Cause I got myself a FIANCE,
and I am now off of his dime.

As I look down at my finger,
the one on my left hand.
The finger that was once naked,
has a very blingin band.

I am ready for stability,
and a man to be all mine.
And thankfully, he's hard-workin,
spiritual, dedicated, and oh so fine.

Those are only a small portion
of the reasons that I'm in love.
There must've been someone helpin,
and sendin guidance from above.

I am grateful for the feelings
swirlin around inside of me.
I can't possibly describe them,
and when I do, I get teary.

We will be takin our plunge
November 21st, and I can hardly wait.
For the man that will always be beside me,
is goin to forever be my date!

I love Sean Quigley more and more,
I am burstin throughout my inside.
I get to walk into the Draper temple,
and leave as his lovely bride.

Thank you for all your support,
for linin me up with friends and kin.
I waited for the best,
with Sean, I definitely did win!!


*Thanks for making this day so special, Sean! Pictures and details to come...
