I'm here!

Hello ladies! I'm afraid I have been lax as well. This last moth has just been wicked. My students are driving me crazy! It has been so physically and mentally exhausting. I registered and went to class ( 650 -Carlson/Aesthetics 18thC America), but decided too late to drop. So now I guess I'll have to take an F. I need to email Prof. Pigeon.

On the other hand, some other reasons I've not been able to focus on class- Superbowl weekend we went to Vegas. My daughter and her bf were celebrating his 30th bd (you remember, she planned this surprise party for him, he surprised her with a proposal). The entire weekend went perfectly! They checked in at the Paris and without her knowing, Gabe upgraded to a suite. They went to dinner and a show(Fri.evening), then back to the hotel to change. When they got there, he had arranged for the hotel to have a dozen red roses, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne waiting. He proposed and of course she accepted. She was completely surprised.

On Saturday, we all got to his uncle's house (about 30 people, his family and us) around 5pm. Gabe and CHris arrived at 6 in a limo she rented. He thought they were to meet just me, Vinnie, Michael and Annie, his mom and grandma for dinner. Instead, we were all outside when they pulled up. He was totally surprised! He announced their engagement to everyone as well (Chris called us right after he asked her, so we knew. His mom and stepmom knew he was going to propose, but not when. We didn't tell lol). On top of all this, everyone won in the casinos!

Now I have to start packing. I leave for Boston Thursday night (red eye), then Chris and I fly to Rome on Friday. We're spending the week in Rome, sightseeing, shopping (wedding gowns, baby clothes to start with), carousing around. Her college roommate is flying down on Wednesday from Germany to visit with us for a couple of days as well, so we'll be three wild women on the loose!

The baby clothes are for Michael and Annie's baby. Yes, me the grandmother oy vay! The ultrasound pictures told us it's a boy. He's going to be the best dressed baby west of the Mississippi!

Well, I guess I've made up for not posting in awhile lol. I definitely want to keep up the dialogue! Weasley found a friend, next time I'll post his pic. I hope your back is better Fi, I can definitely empathize (car accident - dislodged lumbar discs). And I definitely want to hear about your thesis journey. So, what are you planning to do about finishing your MA? There are just too many unresolved conflicts in this story for it to end!!

Ciao donne belle!
