I Said YES!!
Still Hot. Still Lifting. Still Got It.
And now… I’ve still got HIM.
Rick asked. I said YES.
—A new chapter begins.
Because the happiest moments don’t wait until we’re photo ready. They happen when we’re fully living — real, confident, and alive. And Rick couldn’t wait for a staged picture-perfect moment. He knew this was our moment.
I had no makeup, beach hair, and sand between my toes. And yet, it was the most romantic proposal I could have imagined. Because when you’re truly seen and loved for who you are, that’s what perfect looks like!
These photos? They’re romantic because they’re real. They tell the truth of midlife love: it’s not about filters or flawless timing. It’s about finding someone who sees you exactly as you are and thinks, this is it. This is forever.
Two years ago, I could not have imagined this chapter in my life. After brokenness, healing, and rediscovering my self-worth, I met Rick. This week, he asked me to marry him.
I could sit here and write pages about the love, the laughter, and the moments that led us here… but for now, I just want to celebrate this milestone with you. 🥂
The truth is, my journey hasn’t been all sunshine and smooth sailing. Before I met Rick, there were heartbreaks, hard lessons, and a whole lot of sweat and tears before this chapter ever began. I’ll be sharing my journey in upcoming posts– the messiness, the growth, the magic – here on the blog.
But today? Today is for joy. For love. For champagne bubbles and beach sunsets. For knowing that at 52, life isn’t winding down — it’s just getting started.
Saying yes to Rick also meant saying yes to myself — to step into this new chapter strong, confident, and radiant. That’s why I’m kicking off Operation: Hot & Sassy.
Over the next 6 months, I’ll be sharing my personal bridal-ready journey: toning loose skin, sculpting glutes and arms, working on core and pelvic floor strength, and keeping my mindset fierce.
Bridal ready means strong, confident, glowing — from the inside out. And I’m bringing you along for every rep, every protein-packed meal, and every self-love ritual that gets me there.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about feeling unstoppable — in wedding photos, in my marriage, and in my life.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t just about me—
👉 I want you to do it with me!
Whether you’re getting ready for a wedding, a reunion, a beach trip, or just because you want to feel amazing in your own skin — this is your chance to jump in.
If you’re ready to join me for Operation: Hot & Sassy, make sure you’re on my list so you don’t miss it.
