Our DD not only will be marrying a wonderful guy that we really really like but his family is a gift to us all as well. He has a sweet 7 yr old son that we enjoy immensely . His Mom and grandparents are truly kind and good-hearted " salt of the earth" folks, if you will.
I shared with our soon to be SIL's Mom that I had a great experience at Soft Surroundings. She was so glad to hear it as she has dreaded going shopping . She is gorgeous with silver hair also but sees her self as too thick in the middle. She and her DD went yesterday to SS. She said they remembered me,were very complimentary and thought I was very interesting....guess that is good :) She got this https://www.softsurroundings.com/P/Desert_Stars_Skirt/ and a teal surplice top to go with it. She also got flats and the amazing teal jewelry that I loved. She said her DD didn't find anything for the wedding but is going back with her and the two of them are going to do a lot more shopping.
The point of this is the open-hearted way we have all approached this new life together. We all attended the baseball game that A played in Thursday night...what a treat to go to a Little League game again...those 7-8 yr olds are amazing. We had a great time sitting together and sharing pictures and high 5's.
Forgive the outpouring of feelings ....just feels really nice. c
