You know when the phone rings at 5:15 am to prepare yourself for life changing news. The phone rang, we answered and life is changing.
The curly haired boy FINALLY got smart and asked, and the chick must have been caught off guard because she said yes. We are holding her to it and won't let her back out. Looks like we get a summer wedding!
It is strange, the waves of emotion that roll over you; excitement and happiness for this new adventure in your child's life, relief that she said yes, concern that, while marriage is a wonderful thing, it can be hard, terror that you are old enough to have a child getting married, and a little nostalgic that your baby boy, with the ringlets and chubby cheeks, has grown into a man and is ready to start a family of his own.
