Now that Sam and I were officially engaged, but keeping it a secret from our family and friends for the time being, it meant that our lives were finally looking better. Everything had seemed so uncertain at graduation, when I didn't even know if I was going to Stanford, and then I broke up with Sam and we moved to completely opposite ends of the country. But somehow, we made our way back to each other and now I couldn't be happier.
We had agreed that we would keep the engagement under wraps until after the wedding because we didn't want to take their moment away from them, except that we had already told Danny, who was the exception because he was a baby and wouldn't spoil our surprise. I had also managed to convince Sam that we didn't need to rush into a wedding and that I wanted to graduate college before we got married because then we could decide where we wanted to live without having to think about connections.
I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was completely happy, things couldn't be going better for me right now and it felt like a dream. I was earning a degree so that I could get my dream job, doing work experience whilst helping to bring the Glee Club back and I was now engaged to my soul mate. Things really had changed since I first joined the Glee Club, and all I hoped for was love and now I had found it, in so many different ways.
Not only had I found love in Sam, which started out as a rocky relationship that blossomed into something beautiful and now, we were talking about spending the rest of our lives together. But I had also found love for Emma, making my Dad happy when I wasn't around. I now had a little brother, who I loved much more than I had expected to and now I couldn't wait for them to have more children so I could spoil my other siblings just as much. Then I had the love that I had found for the people in Glee Club, who were not only my friends but had also become my family and they had all found love for each other in different ways.
So, when one person that I loved needed help, there was no chance that I was going to ignore it. This week it was Rachel who needed our help. Her Dad's were going through a divorce, and had now sold her childhood home which she was devastated about. I guess she was holding onto her house because it was something familiar to remember, like how we all brought back the Glee Club. She couldn't handle the thought of moving on from all of this familiarity and so she was struggling to say goodbye to her childhood home.
Sam came up with the brilliant idea of hosting a party in her basement so that she could say goodbye to her home, with the support of her friends. We all agreed that it was a great idea and agreed to help because none of us could pass up the chance of another Rachel Berry party. The original was something that we all still laughed about, mainly something that I laughed about, because I was sober the entire time and none of the others were.
We decided to break the news to Rachel at rehearsal, and she didn't suspect a thing even though we were all sat in the choir room and we usually weren't there for the rehearsals. Artie had invested a lot into this week's lesson because he had bought a giant wheel that he wanted to use to decide who would sing with who at the party. The rest of us just hoped that the new members of the Glee Club went along with what we were saying because we didn't really know them that well yet and we didn't know how they would react to a lesson that wasn't focused on them, but was actually focused on one of their teachers.
