My daughter "E" is engaged to be married. She's only 22 and I think she's to young, to me she is still a 5 yr. old in pigtails, getting on the school bus for the first time but I know she wouldn't be doing it unless she wanted it too. She says they have been talking about it for a while now.
"B" is a very nice boy. He comes from a good family. The couple have known each other for about 7 years and have been a "couple" for about 3.
Right now they are living together in Madison, Wisconsin. They share an apartment with another friend of B's. E works for a non-profit organization and B works for the University of Wisconsin- Madison Campus fixing computers.
On Thanksgiving, I went to B's grandparents for the day. I can't drive long distances with out falling asleep, so his mom was kind enough to drive me out there, since she was going too. I got to meet the grandparents and some other family members.
Everyone was very nice.
The wedding will take place at the grandparents who have a small chapel on their property that grandpa built for his son when he got married. It needs a bit of cleaning but it will be very cozy.
There is an open flat area in the yard where they are going to put a tent, with tables, chairs etc... The food is going to be very simple. It sounds it's going to be more like a picnic then a wedding dinner, but that's the way the coupple is. Very relaxed.
I have gotten word that the wedding party will be wearing specially made Converse shoes, in the colors of the wedding, Navy Blue and Tan.
E went looking at dresses at one place so far and has two other places to go to. I'm not sure what the dress will look like, but I think it will be very simple. She mentioned something about a tea length dress. (It falls between the knees and ankles.) I had always kind of hoped she would wear mine but since I am 5' 2" and she is 5' 7", I don't think that is a possibility, even though when I wore the dress, it dragged on the ground. I bought it off the rack and it's not even an actual wedding dress. But anyway...I'll keep updating as needed.

Winter has finally arrived. Last week Tuesday night and Wednesday. We got about 12 inches of snow followed by bitter cold. Besides all the snow, our electricity went out. I don't know if it was Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, so I don't know how long it was out but it got down to 62 in the house. Today was the first day in 4 days that I was able to go outside and play with the dog. She had a wonderful time.
It was a heavy wet snow. They were calling it heart attack snow, meaning if you weren't in excellent shape then shoveling it would probably kill you. My snow blower broke while my son was using it to clean off my sidewalks. So I sent him shopping and found a new one.
I have most of my Christmas shopping done. I just need to wrap the gifts I do have, buy a couple more, and then put up the tree.
That's it for now.
