Day 7 of 31 SOLSC - Popping the question

Last September we got a call from our son.  Not unusual, but this was in the middle of the morning on a Friday.  Again, not unusual since he has Fridays off.  Hubby answered the phone and after the normal, hi, how are ya, he said  "get Mom on the other phone:"  At that point, I got rather concerned and wondered what was wrong (a typical things Moms do).

He blurted out "I just got back from the jewelry store with a ring".

I said, "As in engagement ring?"  and his response was an astounding YES.  I could tell he was just bubbling over.

I had to sit down quickly, because this is something that I thought would never happen.  He has been single all of his 40 years and apparently happy.  But he has finally found the right gal and we adore her.

He told us he was going to ask her that afternoon when she got home.  It wasn't two hours later and we got another call.  SHE SAID YES!

When he got down on his knee, she thought he was petting the cat, but no he showed her the ring and popped the question and she was ecstatic, and said yes.

The date has been set and the plans are coming together.  Whenever I ask how things are going with the planning, he hands the phone over to Jen and she fills me in.  His comment (and a smart one I might add) is she tells me where to go and when to be there.

We are so happy for Scott and Jen and look forward to September 14th to help them celebrate this momentus event.

    I know the feeling, I was thrilled when my son found his wife. Fortunately I did not have to wait nearly as long as you. Isn't it great when they find that special girl?

    How wonderful. I know that feeling too - when your child says "get mom on the phone too" you know something is up!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
