To those who know about her when she was younger and are still interested, she had a very good week. She made the President's List for her Criminal Justice Degree and is waiting to hear on a job at the County jail. If she gets the job she is going to the Jail.Academy. if not, she is applying to our police academy.
Thursday, she and N finally closed on their house, a nice sized three bedroom with a large lot and four bedrooms/large kitchen. They have work to do though. Hubby and I saw it inside for the first time Saturday. It was exciting and they were very happy.
Tonight I was watching football and Jumper called me and asked me to meet her for dinner. I asked if it would just be us and she said no and to bring Dad too. She wouldn't tell us more.
We arrived first. She picked the place I work at so I was talking to my co-workers when i saw a line of people coming in, lead by Jumper! They were her boyfriend, his brother and girlfriend, and two of her dear friends. After hugs all around we sat down and Jumper showed me her engagement ring! Now we knew these two lovely young people were meant to be together, but now it's official. I told her fiance "I guess we get to keep you." He is such a nice natured young man, used to my hugs. If you are close to my kid, you will be hugged.
I am home now, tired.
Soon we will all live near each other....hub and me, Sonic and Jumper and Priness wants to come up with Baby to help with the house.
I feel so peaceful and content. My kids are not brilliant or beautiful, but I just feel as if they are the most loving young adults anywhere. I love them all with very fiber in my being and with the heat of a million sun's and that includes Bart. And I feel close to all of them. But the bond between Jumper, hub and me seems a tad more intense. That says a lot since I am very close to each one.
Anyhow this is not my story. It is Jumper's. She makes such good decisions about her life and who is in it and she has such a big heart. But so does Sonic and Princess and Bart has a big heart for me and his son. I will take it. Oh yeah. Can't forget the dogs!
I am feeling so blessed for the family that I have. Ften I have to pinch myself. My life started out with buse and now this. I am grateful.
