My life has kind of been on autopilot for the last few months so I haven't posted on my own thread in quite some time. So long that I figured I'd just start a new one.
I'm doing fine, engagement is going great and I am really blessed in my life right now. Most exciting for me is that I found out about 6 weeks ago that I am going to be a first time grandfather - I couldn't be happier about this! My D34 who lives in Wisconsin is due in April 2016. She is coming for a visit next week so it will be so cool to see her.
D18 (almost D19) is doing super well in college. Although she is only in her second year, she now has enough credits to qualify as a Junior and could graduate a full year early (May 2017 instead of May 2018).
D17 has submitted most of her college apps and is waiting to hear from her 1st choice - Florida State University - on December 9th. If selected she will enroll in their First Year Abroad program and attend school in either London England or Valencia Spain beginning in September 2016. If she isn't admitted to FSU (which is unlikely given her grades and SAT/ACT scores) the rest of her college choices are much closer to home here in Virginia. While I'd love her to be close, I can't help but be excited for her to get into FSU and experience
The real earth shattering news comes from my Ex. She broke up with her boyfriend (actually he called it off) after a 3 year long relationship in July 2015. She met a new guy through eHarmony in late August 2015 and after just 2 1/2 months is now engaged to him. They have set a wedding date for Feb 28th, 2016. According to D17, her mom has already bought her wedding dress. D17 isn't too thrilled with her Mom's engagement as she has only met the guy about 3 times. D18 being away at college has only seen him a couple of times. I've talked to them both and they like the guy they just think their mom is rushing things (ya think!) However when my ex gets an idea in her head there is no stopping her.
