sparkling news

Last Monday morning (at the airport, in the very wee smalls), I met my baby's boyfriend for the first time. I brought him home and over the next day we got to know him.

We liked him.

This is a good thing. It is a very good thing.

Because, on Wednesday, he did this.....

He put a smile on her face and a ring on her finger.

*squeal*

My baby is getting married!!


In other news....

We made the presentation of the Antarctic trip to the old fart on Father's Day. (For him) there was a HUGE positive reaction. He smiled and said "this is excellent". He has spent almost all the time since doing research (the trip, the vessel, the history, the geography etc etc).

We did good.

I'm sure there are lots of other things I could be writing about but my mind is blank. Diamonds on my kids' fingers do that to me.
