Exciting News!

After over a month of keeping my mouth shut (who knew I could do that?) about the fact that I knew my oldest daughter's boyfriend E was going to propose to her, it has finally happened. E had invited my husband and me to dinner to ask us our blessing back in February. Then Saturday night, at a small concert with quite a few of their friends, E totally shocked M when he had a song dedicated to her. He had planned ahead of time with the singer for him to change the name in a song called "Marry Me, Mary" to say M's name instead. How sweet is that??? I've told this story probably 20 times today and every time I get tears in my eyes. I'm thrilled at the prospect of having E be part of our family and also thrilled that my daughter is so happy.

Also this weekend, K had her senior pictures taken. We used a photographer who had been recommended by my best friend. She did such a great job, especially considering this is the child who simply doesn't understand why anyone would smile without a good reason. The photographer only has a small amount of the pictures online for viewing, but I've already seen one with K's real smile. I am so glad we chose this photographer!

Today was the first day back to work after Spring Break and I'm still not feeling great, but I'm getting there. By lunch time, I was really ready for a nap. So I figure I will crash the moment I get home, hopefully to get a nap in before dinner time.
