Just got off the phone with my daughter. She got engaged! I’m pretty happy. Hes a great guy and treats her like a queen.
Absolute GORGEOUS ring. And the background. Stunning atmosphere. Congratulations to them both!

Awesome! Love to see it. It’s been popular…limited release but definitely pushing to bring it back next season.
Congrats! Start preparing now, I have a feeling you’re gonna be a mess on her wedding day.

Time flies. My favourite movies are Uncle Buck and Trains, Planes and Automobiles - I have watched them so many times. Such a talented man and one of the really good guys.
Congratulations to your daughter - that is wonderful news!

Taking up one’s cross can take a lot of different forms, especially during this season of Lent. Many of us make the usual Lenten sacrifices including fasting and abstention.
But perhaps, we are called in different ways to die to ourselves. In my brief experience with it, fatherhood has taught me that I must be willing to let go of certain things. Sometimes you can’t eat what you want, when you want because you need to put your child’s needs first. Sometimes I need to skip going to the gym when I want to go because my family needs me.
Sacrifice might mean staying at a job where you do not feel fulfilled because it pays the bills. Sometimes it means picking up the phone when that friend or relative in need calls, rather than letting it go to voicemail.
Sometimes it means to decrease meeting your own needs and desires to increase meeting the needs of others.
In many ways this goes against everything the world preaches; that we deserve what we want, when we want it.
For all those carrying invisible crosses, may Christ be with you today.

How lovely. and not necessarily--it might just be in shock and adjusting. My purple are blooming and absolutely beautiful. It was slightly damaged after planting so I"m surprised it did.
But have another one on the other side of the backyard and it could give a sh** if it blooms.
Give it a little of time and I think it will surprise you. Please send pics when it does!

Shouldn’t it be Don’t Poke the Bear.Lol
nah….and thats ok.
Theyve been together 4 years. Living together 3 years in Indiana.
When I saw him in person last. I brought it up.
‘So, ahhhh Chris, when are you going to do the right thing and marry my girl?’
He said he was working on getting a ring made that she had described to him.
That was good enough for me.
supposedly that is going to happen to my daughter this year too

I think the asking permission is very outdated and paints the woman in the relationship as property.
It depends on the person - I think talking to the parent/giving a heads up depending on the relationship is one thing but the asking tradition is old school in todays society, IMO.
yeah, I never gave it any thought. It wasnt my expectation.
I did however the day we moved her to Indiana gave him my expectation in no uncertain terms.
I took him aside while the Bride was hugging our daughter goodbye.
If he ever harmed my little girl in any way , they would never find him. And he knew I was not joking.
That and the "who gives this woman"
My wife had her parents walk her down the aisle....her parents, who were against us, got half way down and her mother bailed.....said I can't do this...her Dad carried on. They knew it wouldn't last....now, 2 kids later, bought land in Maine for our move in 2 years, and celebrating our 30 year anniversary next year
Guess prejudging people doesn't always work
My parents weren’t fond of my blue collar husband (who worked in the same factory as my mom’s dad) when we got married. But they were happy we were getting married instead of living together. He studied and went to community college at night and became a police officer.
Eventually they came to love him.
40 years later, still going strong!
Amica is handling everything on my claim including talking with Boston Police and got me a rental car for tomorrow. aside from contacting the auto body shop to set up a time to have it towed down there, my work is done.
We believe that the guy hit my car when he saw that he was about to hit my neighbor's daughter head on. I'd rather my car be hit than an innocent woman being hurt or worse.
