More Wedding bells

A week ago our middle son called me and wanted to know if I'd like to go shopping with him. I said "oh! where do you want to go?" He said "You know, to the one-kind of store"...... Being his mom, and knowing the situation Yes, I realized he meant the jewelery store.
Are you kidding? What mom would turn down an invitation like that from her son?
As it turned out we didn't get to go, but wow, I sure got warm fuzzies that he asked me to go along!
He and she did some more looking, and then he called me again and wanted me to come look at the rings she liked before he bought one, so earlier this week Relyssa and I met him at the store and gave our approval on his choice.
The kids have been "dating/seeing each other/going together" whatever you want to call it since earlier this year when they met on facebook. They soon were talking non-stop on the phone, and then actually met for the first time when Ryan flew out to California to help her move to NE. this summer. They've been pretty much inseparable since.
Ryan had the idea that he wanted to officially ask her to marry him on their first date (evidently days at the lake, eating fast food out, and just general spending time together doesn't count!)
So after buying the ring, a REAL date was planned to a nice (read expensive) sit down dinner, dress clothes & all. I extracted a promise from them to come over after their date so I could take pictures. They both had posted about their "first date" on facebook, and a few of us who knew what was going to happen made all sorts of suggestions like flowers, limos, etc.
So, here we go again. I posted last week that I needed a vacation...... what a joke. Basically the responses that I got were laughing at me for even thinking such a thing. Who am I kidding anyway? By the time I get my kids all married off, & my grandchildren born, my grandkids will start getting married.
Would I have it any other way? Nope!
But would someone just hire me a live in maid so that I can do the FUN things & not spend all my time on dishes, laundry & cleaning?
And would someone just please come be my personal shopping assistant? This is going to mean ANOTHER outfit to find to wear. ( And NO, I haven't found one for Relyssa's wedding yet.)




Isn't that a pretty ring!

Leon and I sent flowers to the restaurant for them.
