She Said Yes

 

Hello Friends,

Thank you for playing along with my question on Friday.

With that I am happy to announce she said, yes.

Sam and Cate are engaged. 

We are in the process of wedding planning. I will keep you updated.

And with that here is our next question to spark conversation...

 

What are you looking forward to most in your life right now?

I am looking forward to watching my boys continue to grow into adult men. We are blessed they only live an hour away. We are able to talk daily and can visit regularly. Both are working on goals they have set. It can be hard for me to watch when things do not go as they plan or they land in a hard spot. I want to jump in and FIX it. 

I also am looking forward to the goals my husband and I have as a couple as we continue to take this journey together.

 ♥

Carla

  7. Well big congratulations to all of you- definitely an exciting time for your whole family.

    To answer your question - what am I looking forward to most in my life right now? Since there will never be grandchildren in my life, I look forward to seeing my son’s achievements. If they’re happy, Mom’s happy. I also look forward everyday, spending it with my husband as we age together. These years are so far, somewhat healthy but we know that might not always be the case. So we’re enjoying each other and together making the most of it.

  8. Congratulations to Sam and Cate! I know you have to be so very excited with the wedding planning!

    I sure understand about wanting to fix things when times are rough for our families. My heart wants me to make it right for our kids and grandkids, buuuut, I have to let them figure it out. I can give advice, but in the end, it's up to them to live their own lives as best they can. My dad used to say the same about me when he was still alive ... I know he wanted to help me so much, bless his soul. Have a lovely and happy week, Carla!

  10. That's wonderful news that Sam and Cate are engaged. This is such a dear picture of them, and one they will always remember, as it comes at a special moment in their lives. I love her long brown hair. Planning a wedding is fun and exhausting at the same time. I am looking forward to being a dear grandma to my girls, and seeing them as often as I can. : )

  11. Congratulations! That is so exciting. I wish them all the happiness in the world. I love what you are looking forward to. I always look forward to my time with James. Looking forward to Easter at Adam's and Gabby's. Then the wedding in Georgia after that and then our trip to visit Amber and Dylan in their new house. Hopefully that will happen in June.
