Exciting News

#2 Son Matt dropped a bomb on me yesterday while at work. We were talking about a few things and then he said "Oh yea, me and Denise are engaged" and hung up. Of course I quickly called him back, and he was laughing when he answered. After I chewed him out for doing that to me, I got details!

He proposed the previous night to long-time girlfriend Denise, and she accepted. They want to get married February 2 (2009 of course), a 2-ish in the afternoon so that it will be - are you ready for this - 2/22 at 2:22PM. It happens to be a Sunday next year, so I guess it's do-able. Denise is currently in college - not sure when she finishes but I think it's before then. And I know no other details other than - guess we'll be planning a wedding! Yippe!!!! And yes, I like her and think this will be great.

I asked if he'd given her a ring and he replied that he was working on it - so I've made an offer. I have the engagement ring from his dad put away in my jewelry box, and don't care to wear it again. But if he wants it - or can use the diamond and have it put in a new setting perhaps - he's welcome to it. He picked it up last night but I wasn't home at the moment, so I don't know his opinion as yet. I won't be offended if he decides to go another route - it's small, just 1/4 carat, but he said Denise doesn't want anything big and flashy. So we'll see.......

Way cool!
