Those Wedding Bells Keep Ringing!

Christmas Eve 2012 brought us the engagement of our second eldest daughter, Caitlyn, to Jimmy.  Their September wedding was lovely and the newlyweds are doing well.

This Christmas Eve passed with no new announcements.  However, New Year's Eve did not!  At our family Christmas party, our oldest daughter's long time love requested her father's permission to marry her.  Permission was grated and Jim told my dear one that he was planning to ask her on New Year's Eve.  I can't be certain, but I believe this photo, also taken at our Christmas party, was snapped just after permission was granted.

The first Sunday of the New Year, we celebrated their engagement with a houseful of family, a big pot of goulash, some cheesecake and pumpkin pie, and the customary engagement gift. (see www.centeredinchrist1.blogspot.com A Tradition Continues 12/26/12).

Our tenacious one needed to share the joy of the moment. 

The wedding planning has begun in earnest with hopes of a summer event.  We look forward to welcoming another Jim to the family!
