Oh Happy Day!

As parents, we've had a lot of hopes and dreams for our children as they've gone through each stage of their lives. I could list so many points here, but I won't get into all that because it might require more words than my two previous blog posts!

Since they've left our nest though, Dave and I hope they will all continue to: remain healthy, support themselves through a fulfilling employment situation, have comprehensive insurance coverage, make good choices consistent with upstanding morals and values, and ultimately find happiness along whatever life path they decide to pursue. You know ~ grab all the good stuff out there! If their direction includes finding another person to spend the rest of their life with, then WOW ~ bonus!

Thank goodness they've all been pretty successful in the above endeavors, and I have some really exciting news to share.
The eldest recently hit the BONUS round!

THERE'S GOING TO BE A WEDDING IN AUGUST OF 2011.

CHRIS ASKED TASHA TO MARRY HIM, AND SHE SAID YES!!

Tasha and Chris began dating about three years ago, and she readily won the hearts of each of us during that time with her outgoing and vibrant personality, her confident disposition and her considerate and supportive manner throughout the challenges of the past several years.

OUR FAMILY IS THRILLED ABOUT THE NEWS.

Here's to you, Chris and Tasha!

I was just thinking about these lines from the movie "When Harry Met Sally" ~

I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

awww...  love just rocks!
