I haven't been updating my blog as I should lately. Sorry.
Anyway, our son, has definitely made the decision to call off the long awaited wedding. Understandably, the former fiancee and her family are quite upset about it. The wedding plans obviously had progressed quite far so there is a lot to cancel. Now that we are mostly past that... Son, finishing up his Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, has accepted a position with a corporation in NJ, and will start in July. We were hoping he would be offered something closer to us, but he is very excited about working for that company.
Our Air Force daughter has recently been informed that she will receive orders to report for duty in California. We are very excited about having her relatively close to us. She will be arriving around the end of July. Her wedding is still on, and that will be in September, in PA. Plans are just about complete for that event. Daughter is doing quite well in Tech School and I wouldn't be surprised if she earns some recognition upon graduation.
In our immediate household, hubby and I are doing the same old boring stuff. :o) School has finished for the year, so it should be a little more relaxed, however, since a new addition is being built at the high school, hubby will be busy moving "stuff." I am planning a little vacation for myself in July. Going to visit DJ in Missouri! I'm so looking forward to getting away and visiting friends! I get a whole week away! YAY!
...so hard to be a mother? Yesterday we were informed by our son, that he has called off his wedding. Only three months from the day....
