Now that I've picked up my jaw from the floor....

and am no longer hyperventilating, I will share what happened tonight.

Before going to bed, I checked my email and had this comment waiting to be published:

Turns out Anonymous is my oldest son's fiancee. I posted last Labor Day weekend about their engagement (click HERE and scroll down to read it). Well, since I was pretty tired and read quickly through her comment (she is a big "Scott" fan!), all that really registered was that they set a wedding date for October 17. I almost fell out of my chair! OCTOBER 17? Helloooo? That's ummm...like around the corner! My baby boy is getting married in just 3 months after I've been waiting almost 26 years and I find out in the comment section of my blog?

Well, I started yelling (at 11:30 p.m.) "Oh my God! Tito and Gloria are getting married in October!" Amanda came running out of her room and said, "How do you know?" I said, "Look!" as I shoved her towards my laptop. She then turns around and says very non-chalantly, "Mom, it's not this October. It's over a year away. Why are you so excited?" The look of stupidity on my face said, "Huh?" I read the comment once more and then noticed that large as life, it says October 17, 2009!

So now I could breathe. But still...my baby's getting married! I'm so excited! His beautiful bride-to-be is wonderful and I am so happy for both of them.

Gloria, I love you.....when do I get grand-babies? heh!

Ha! Ha! I actually felt tightness in my chest too when I read it. I never noticed it said 2009 either!

I can't even imagine planning a wedding for our two big kids yet....seems like they are still our babies.

Ohilda dear,
You won't get grandbabies until July 2010 if they aren't getting married until October 2009!!
I'm sure it will be worth the wait!! ;+)
You are gonna be one young HIP grandmama!!
