In the course of life we all undergo changes; it is inevitable. I have lived under the presumption that I can never be truly happy without something completely horrible on the horizon for so long that it has become my mantra. I felt like life was trying to teach me a lesson that I didn't deserve good things and that I was unlovable. My destiny was to live and eventually die alone.

It seems that I maybe have been mistaken.

This morning, Felix decided that he had enough of our current arrangement and decided to propose to me. Though things have been rocky at times, he sees in me the things that I refuse to see in myself. Namely he sees that I have value, that I deserve love and respect, and I am good. So I agreed to marry him and that should really confuse the christian right who are against lgbt marriages. They should oppose us, but on what grounds whatever why you slice it we are still male and female. The engagement ring is coming because we needed to get my finger sized, but I did get a nice ring pop. (Is it wrong to eat a engagement ringpop? Does it cancel the engagement?)

So, hopefully in the not too distant future I will be changing my name from Katie Leone to Katie Felix-Leone (Just going with Katie Felix doesn't roll off the tongue, does it). And I plan on changing my name and gender markers completely to this.
