Who Would Have Thought?

Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? I’m going to get another daughter in law! It’s almost more than I could hope for…and all in just a few months time!

This is the best picture that I could get of Patrick (he wasn't very cooperative)

Patrick came home from Korea for Jon and Brittney’s wedding and with him, he brought (or sent via Federal Express) a beautiful diamond ring that he had plans to give to Marie while he was here. As excited as we were for the wedding, we were equally excited for Patrick to ask Marie and in the days leading up to Jon and Brittney’s wedding, we kept asking Patrick when he was going to “pop the question”. Do you know what he told us? He told us that he didn’t want to steal Jon’s thunder so he was going to wait until after the wedding. I was impressed that he even thought of that. He didn’t wait for long though because the very day after the wedding, he got down on his knee and proposed!

Obviously Marie accepted the proposal because she now sports that beautiful ring on her finger and we’re looking forward to having another addition to our family! We’re still not sure when it will be and neither are Patrick and Marie (or at least they haven’t shared it with us) but we’re excited for that day! For now, Patrick has gone back to Korea to finalize things there and in just a few weeks he’ll return to the states where he’ll be stationed in El Paso, Texas at Fort Bliss. I know he’ll be excited to be “home” again…but now he has even more reason to be excited to be home!
