Thanks! Frankly I was starting to wonder if my oldest daughter was going to have kids. She has been very education and career focused for quite some time. She and her husband of 6 years have wavered back in forth whether they wanted any or not so it was a bit of surprise when she gave me the news.
In reading my original post above I realize I left off some words regarding D17 and going to school overseas. I meant to say I was excited for her to experience a year on her own in Europe - however with yesterday's horrific news from Paris it makes me think twice about her doing that. I guess though the evil people who perform these terrorist attacks could conceivably do the same thing over here as well.
As for the Ex and her fiancé's quick decision to marry, I can't figure it out either. To make things even more interesting is that he has been married twice and the second one lasted mere weeks as (according to him at least) he found out shortly after the marriage that his new bride was bi-polar and had been married multiple times and she had never confessed up to them. Who knows what's going on over there. As long as no harm comes to D18 and D17 my ex and him can do whatever as I don't care. I think if my girls were younger i.e. pre-teens I would be more concerned. However D18 is already out of the house and D17 leaves next summer.
Well I'm heading out to chop up some firewood. It's supposed to get down to 32 degrees tonight and I think a nice fire in the fireplace is in order for this evening.
