I am so sorry that I haven’t written anything this week! But our little engagement honeymoon was high in the mountains, in a little cabin nestled in the woods and there wasn’t any wifi there! Imagine that! We thought we couldn’t live without the internet but we did just fine.
Well anyways, a dear friend of CCL, Femmelover dropped me a little email asking me to let you all know that I’m alive and kicking. So thank you for the concern FL
…. I am fine, I’m more then fine …. I’m great!!! Actually, to tell you the truth, I’m better then I have ever been!
A married friend of mine, (she’s a lesbian too and she and her wife are two of our closest friends) told me that getting married changes everything for the better. While I never would have believed it before I met Remi, I can totally see that now. Since the engagement I have felt a sense of serenity and peaceful joy encompass me that I never even dreamed about before.
So please forgive me for not writing a lot lately, I’m literally basking in the joy of our new engagement and I feel a bit discombobulated since getting back to the city.
But I have lots and lots to tell you! Plus I am taking a few of your comments to heart about blogging about the wedding plans as they unfold. So I will be working on adding a little “Engaged Sasha” category because i just wouldn’t be the same without you guys at every step along the way!
…… and don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten that I need to finish up the Tony & S saga ….. sorry to leave you dangling off that crumpling cliff for so long.
Sasha This is an extremely special time in your lives
so enjoy every minute of the beautiful gift of love you the 2 of you share. So glad you had a wonderful “engagement honeymoon” – fyi
I think you two will have a “lifelong honeymoon”.
Congrats again and best wishes.
Sasha wow that was crazy fast I literally pressed send and you posted it. hehe Hey you should be cuddling with your FIANCE!!!!!!
I’ve just got it like that! LOL … jk Jazzi …. I’m actually searching online for wedding inspiration for our invitations and what not
Sasha Check out that site I found for you – I posted it under “I hear bells” it’s really cool – covers everything for gay weddings in CA.
SO fun!

Thanks Jazzi!!! I thought I had found ALL the gay/lesbian wedding sites, but not this one! I love it! Thanks doll.
Beautiful Sasha…thank you for letting us know you are good/great! That is all we needed…for now! lol. So happy to know you are better than fine…that everything is GREAT! See, now you don’t have to worry about us and we don’t have to worry so much about how you are doing. Thank you sweetness!
Sasha Researching is one of my favorite (dorky lol) hobbies so when you announced your engagement I was so excited that I went on a search to find info for you guys.
I will send you and email with more sites as I find them-this site (engaygedweddings) was my favorite one I found- so far.
Welcome back! I wasn’t worried about you at all and knew you were disconnecting and focusing on what is most important in your life. Gotta keep those priorities straight. Did miss you, though, can’t lie. Looking forward to the wedding planning!
Take your time and enjoy yourself. Everyone deserves a break especially us bipolars! I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next Tony and S installment!! I think I’m addicted to your blogs. ha ha
Rexie’s comment: +1!
Sasha- Tried to post lots of wedding sites for you here (since other CCL readers might also enjoy/be interested in the info), but for some reason didn’t work to post- so sent them to your email, but not sure if went through since I’m having email probs lately. I even found you a Lesbian Bridal Magazine
I just thought that was too wonderful.
Pls check your email and let me know if you got them if not I’ll try to resend.
Enjoy all your time together, I am about to lose my one on one time with my wife and it is killing me. On the one hand I am excited to be promoted and see something new, on the other I am scared to death that being apart so much will destroy us. So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!
I am so happy for you both!!
Are you kidding me? Anyone who doesn’t understand the need for you & Remi to be alone and bask in this joy would be a fool. I myself have been patiently sending good thoughts your way and letting you two have your alone time. This is very low on the priority list compared to what you have going on in your life right now. Enjoy, my friends!
Hello Jazmenha! How are u? Hope u have a nice upcoming holiday!
I’m so happy for you both…
It’s really the best feeling in the world my friend. Enjoy.
Sasha I have tried w/out success to send these URLs on CCL not sure why isn’t working anyhow, I really don’t want you to miss out on all these wonderful resources I found for you to explore during this exciting time for you and Remi. So after repeatedly trying to send these as URLs I put them in a list to “trick” the computer lol into not thinking they are not links so hopefully this way will actually send.
Just add http://www. to all and of course ending with .com (#1 and #7 only one w/out the www added)
Jazzi
Enjoy!

Thought others on CCL will enjoy these sites too. Unfort had to post them “choppy” lol but the system for some reason wouldn’t allow whenever I tried to send full lists as full URLs and didn’t think 10 different posts each w one link was a good idea-hehe.
Take good care
http://www.rainbowweddingnetworkmagazine.com (This is the Lesbian Bridal Magazine I mentioned.)
I got a little (ok- VERY lol) carried away in my research for you.
Enjoy!
This is the VERY last link I promise.
Shasha – u already know how I feel. There’s no need for me to explain myself to anyone else…and I won’t do that! Good vibes to u and Remi, my friend!
It’s Sasha not Shasha…of course!
@ WWG- Hello…
The cabin looks so cute and romantic. Nothing like just totally placing yourself in a different surrounding. Glad you are only growing in happiness, doostam. *hugs*
@ Femmelover Thanks for the “hi” above- I hope you are doing well. Sorry for the late reply – I was so focused on finding resources/websites for Sasha on this post. I’m “ok” as the generic expression goes. Thanks for asking.
I know this had nothing to do with any of the exciting news, but I was wondering if you take the kids with you when you guys go on trips or board them?
Hi Saphy,
I would never be able to board my kids! I’ve done a lot of work as a volunteer at dog shelters and I’ve heard too many scary and devastating stories about boarding your dogs. So luckily, I’m able to leave them with my parents the few times we haven’t taken them. But this last trip was the first time we took them and they loved it, and we loved it and it really REALLY helped alleviate my travel anxiety (since most of it is over leaving my dogs) that we’ve decided to make our vacations “family vacations” from now on. (< — wowza, what a run on sentence, but I couldn’t help myself!) We just strap the kids in the back and hit the open road!!!! It was by far, the best trip we’ve ever taken and the kids LOVED the adventure.
