This past week brought big and happy news in our family.   She said yes!!

While on a cruise through Italy, my son got down on one knee right in the middle of Naples and asked the love of his life to become his life partner.  He took the ring he had been carrying around for weeks out of his backpack, carefully opened the box and through her abject shock, she quickly said yes!

A few days later we joined her entire family for another surprise (well not a complete surprise, my son was part of it) when the kids returned from the cruise.   With so much love in the room, we kicked off what promises to be an exciting joinder of two young people and their families with wishes for a lifetime of happiness.  

 Oh, this is going to be fun!
