Thanksgiving; funnest three days of my life

Monday morning--back to the grind. I am at work, procrastinating homework just long enough to blog. (I tutor students and if there isn't one at the moment, I am free to be on the computer.)

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with 6 of my kids; the four at home and Richard and Alden and their families. The two of them are nine people now, ten if you count Dallas, the Beagle puppy (AesaLina's baby) who came for Thanksgiving dinner, too :-) My grandchildren are the cutest and the sweetest and pretty smart, too. I know everyone thinks that about their own grandchildren. But they really are :-) I LOVE them!

Then in the afternoon, Melody, Joy and I went to the airport to pick up Keith Chandler. That began the funnest three days of my life. I am a very private person so I won't be writing a bunch of details--even this is hard for me. But my kids love him and he fits right in. My word for it is "familiar" and his is "natural." I took him to the airport last night and he has gone home to Missouri, which will allow me to recover from too much smiling and laughing :-) That was not a joke. I do need to recover :-)

Okay, I know you want to know. Well, some of you. He asked me to marry him. I said yes, more enthusiastically than it comes out in this writing. There's no timetable because a few details need to be worked out. He has to move to Utah for one thing. And we plan to get married in the temple so there are a few details there that make it impossible to know the date right now.

And now, I MUST concentrate on homework which has gotten the short shrift for the last several weeks. Three more semesters! I can do it!
