Well, both you faithful readers know that an update to this blog is long over-due. Since it’s a new year, I’m going to try to keep it more current. And besides that, there’s a great reason for an update. We have a new addition to the family. I know John is hoping it’s a puppy, but it’s even better.
According to Facebook (and if its on Facebook, it must be true!) a couple of nights ago, Dave, with help from one of the dogs, asked Chassie to marry him… luckily for him, she said yes!
I guess one of every parent’s greatest fears is that their child will make the wrong decision when it comes to marriage. From the very first time I met Chassie, I was pretty sure she was someone special. I noticed the way she treated Dave and she seemed to bring out the best in him. I secretly hoped that the relationship wouldn’t end.
So, welcome to the family, Chassie – you’re just as much our daughter as Dave is our son. The two of you are welcome in our home any time, and holidays or other occasions you choose to spend with us will be truly special – but you are both adults and those decisions, like all others are yours to make. If you want our advice, please ask. If you don’t ask we’ll shut up. We haven’t lived our lives exactly as our parents envisioned and I’m sure you wouldn’t follow our ideal marriage path, even if we had one. But one thing I’m pretty sure of – you’ll exceed any expectations we have in ways that surprise and delight us.
Both of us wish you a wonderful, prosperous, exciting and happy life together.

Yeah!!! Great news, even if it is not a puppy
Congrats! Does that mean his stuff will be moved out of your basement? Chassie & Dave are a great couple, here’s a toast to them!
