And the point was?

So I was thinking about writing a blog about work and how busy I am soldering (the L is silent) and how I'm going to Texas next week but I'm pissed that I don't know when I'm going and that is throwing all of my plans with Janine next weekend up in the air...

...but then I realized I could sum it up in one really long sentence if I tried and move on with something completely different.

I spoke to my Dad on the phone today, and obviously the topic of the wedding came up. For the first time since I even brought up the idea of getting married (let alone telling him I proposed), he actually sounded happy and confident about the idea.

I told him about all of the planning and research we're doing, how much stuff we're actually making on our own, and what we're planningfor a ceremony. He was honestly impressed, and he made it known. "And her I am thinking your sister was heavily involved in her wedding..." was part of what he said.

This was important to me. For the first time I actually feel like my Dad is proud of me getting married; That I actually have his blessing. For a long time I've had this feeling that my parents, while supportive, would never fully accept the idea of me getting married. Until today I thought that wall would never be broken.

I'm glad I was wrong.


Now... if I could only see my fiancee...

"the L is silent" = no shit.

Well, when I first heard of it I thought it was something like sodering or playing with lead.

Just call me Captain Obvious!

Well, yay! How come you don't tell me these things? I'm warm fuzzies all over.

I thought you read this thing enough to know what's going on... besides, it's not really something you can just say over the phone.
