Hi All:
It has been awhile for the latest update, but things have been busy in the MLA world. easy child had moved out with her b/f about 3 months ago and husband and I purchased a smaller home for just the two of us. It is very cute and fit us to a tee.
THEN ...... the news came down! It would seem that easy child was getting engaged to her b/f and they were planning to be married in Oct. 08. We were just starting to talk about those plans, when two weeks later, she finds out she is expecting a baby. I guess the wedding could still go on next October, since she will have insurance for the baby (under us) and then can get married afterwards (otherwise, she loses her insurance in the middle of all of this). They will need to move back to our house until the baby is born, so they can save some money, but then they really, really want to get a place of their own. At least they WANT to be independent.
Once I got the pg news from easy child, difficult child tells me that SHE is also getting married to a guy she met 3 months ago and is living with her. He is rejoining the Army and she will go with him. Not necessarily a bad thing, but worry about the time that they have known each other. She is almost 21, so not much I can say, but I really think that she is doing this as a competition to easy child's situation. It has always been that way between difficult child and easy child.
What can you do??? I am softhearted and will support them the best I can, while keeping them independent. I can only pray that everything works out for both of them.
I hope you are all doing well and I try to drop by often to check in on everyone. The time seems to fly by and before you know it, another year has passed. Best wishes to all of you parents who are going through trying times, and know that we are all here for you!
