Holy Matrimony, Batman!

I had a long day working in Dayton and got to the gym very late today. When I got back in my car from my workout, sweaty and tired, I picked up my cell phone and found three messages waiting. It was my sister calling to say "nothing is wrong, but I need you to call me."

Okay, if nothing is wrong, why did you call three times in one hour? I called the sis and she told me that Mom and her boyfriend ELOPED!!!!! In my hometown, there is a running joke about young couples who run off to Jellico, Tennessee, just over the KY/TN border, to get married. No joke, my mom and dad did just that back in 1970 ...and apparently, history repeated itself today at 2:30 PM.

To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. I'm not upset in the least, Mom is a grown woman capable of making her own choices, but the rush is atypical. I mean, she couldn't be pregnant, which seems to be the new running joke in the family. I called Mom and she said that she simply was tired of waiting and that at their age, why court for so long? She sounds so giddy!

Wow... well, I guess if she's happy...

Well, she certainly seems to be. It's just... I don't know... strange? In a million years, I never thought that I would have to contend with a situation like this.

So, you gonna call him "dad" ? *g*

LOL... Ummm... no, that would be way too weird for me. I think I'll be referring to him by his name. Although he old enough to be my grandfather, so "Gramps" may be a possibility ;)

And you had already picked out something to wear and was looking for an escort. I guess Mother stole your thunder!

Well, maybe she wanted to make sure she was the belle of the ball. :D

LOL! Hey Luch! I'm glad to see you back here!

The elopement is one thing, but I'd look forward to our honeymoon! ;)
