OGM, congratulations to the kids. Age is not necessarily the deciding factor in the success of a marriage - commitment is. Sounds as if they have good common sense and values.
 
Congrats Mother-in-law and also to your Daughter and now SIL.

Oh, in other news, got a bit of a surprise while the kids were here visiting -- they let us in on a little secret.......I'm officially a mother-in-law. Turns out those sneaky kids went and got married.....a while ago! It simplified a few things with SIL being able to deal with some of the stuff regarding DD's injury and that ongoing situation as well as the purchase of their house - so they did it "on paper" with the plan of having their wedding as planned, but have since decided it makes more sense to not spend that sort of money on one day when they have a house and lots of other things they want to save for/spend on so kind of had to come out and tell everyone they are married. DH and I are not in much of a position to object considering we did much the same when we got married because he got unexpected orders and in order for DD and I to be put on them in time we needed to be official - in the mean time we were working on altering the orders a bit as they had him reporting on the day before what we had already set as our wedding date In our case we were able to get things moved back and had our wedding as planned, but had it not worked out we'd have been in the same boat as the kids. I worry about them being so young, but beyond that could not be happier for them --- SIL fits so well in our family and it is an absolute joy to welcome him officially. I can't believe my baby girl is a married woman..............

OGM, Super congrats to your dtr and SIL! And I agree full heartedly with Sour! My husband was the first man I ever dated! We started dating when we were 15 and 17 years old. This year, we will celebrate 43 years of marriage. Commitment is huge. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
 
I turned 17 in December. In February Ken and I got married. I knew him 6 days before he gave me my diamond. That was 49 years ago. I think we grew up together!

My sister asked me how that managed to work. I told her that if we'd dated for a few years first, we each would have wasted the first few years of marriage trying to find that person we were dating....best foot forward vs undershorts hanging on the dresser handle, I guess.

Good deal..... Kinda what we did to.
Married in front of a probate judge against his better judgment.

She was only 15 she wore a matternaty top.... I wore An OZZY tee shirt.

But I was gonna be going into The Air Force and it was the best thing to do with Jeremy on his way.

That was in 1982.....6 years in the service ....a bone marrow transplant.... And another career ago.

Where did time go..... :idunno
 
OGM, congrats to your kids!

And I have to say, good sense to them for not spending $$$ on it. I can sure see having a ceremony, if they want, and a small reception. But I have to say, I find these lavish weddings just ridiculous. I'd far rather have a down payment on a house or pay off student loans, something like that, than blow a ton of money on, well, a party.

anyway...

disability dr appt was fine, no surprises. We'll see what they determine, not sure when.

Don't know what happened, but I was sick yesterday. Aches, low grade fever, vomiting, short of breath, just a bundle of misery. Slept most of the day, got up today and was fine-ish. Still tired and short of breath, but much better.

We went to a parenting seminar at our church Friday night. My big takeaway from it is, I need to pray for my kiddos more. This is my personal challenge, to cover them in prayer daily.

We had a beautiful day here, in the high 50s/low 60s. Let the cows out to graze on the lawn, they're so much fun to watch

So, I think Ima get in trouble for this response.....

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/newestpost/1159374

and of course after I hit the submit button, I read it to Honey. My pet peeve is this trend for "rescuing" animals. No one purchases or buys an animal any more, every single blessed one is rescued. I was telling Honey that. He thought that over a minute and and said "I rescued a cheeseburger from Burger King today. Had I not intervened, it would have died a lonely death under a heat lamp"

Thass why I love that man. His only regret was he didn't have enough cash on him to rescue a shake, also. Poor thing was left behind, to an unknown fate, likely just melted away into oblivion........
 
OGM, congratulations to your DD & SIL and the rest of your now larger family! It's not the ceremony that makes a marriage, it's the people.

Rachel, sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday, hope today is better. Too funny about your Honey "rescuing" that cheeseburger...I'm sure it went to a good home!
 
He rescued it, but then he ATE it? Like plucked the skin off it and then put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it???? That cheeseburger had feelings, you know! Somewhere there's a junior cheeseburger mourning for his daddy...... I can't imagine anyone being so cruel as to take that innocent cheeseburger away from the only warmth and home it's ever known and eating like some kind of carnivore or something. THIS NEEDS TO STOP!! I know his heart was in the right place with his "rescue" but I'd never allow a cheeseburger to go to a home where it would end up being eaten! I'd rather give it a good, forever home until it died a natural death from mold or botulism or something. <sigh>
