It's Facebook Official!

Our older daughter, Mariah, and her boyfriend announced their engagement on Christmas Day. Once it was “Facebook official,” we could share the happy news.

We are thrilled. He graduates from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in June and DD#1 has been working as an occupational therapist at a pediatric clinic in Bellevue. Their plans after graduation are still unclear, but we know they will head into their married life ready to take on anything.

Our girls spent Christmas with the boyfriend’s family, who was kind enough to invite DD#2 to join them. She worked Christmas Eve at Nordstrom and has to work today, the day after Christmas, so it was impossible for her to come home. I am so grateful that she was able to be with family (because we already consider his family to be part of ours).

We had a very quiet Christmas Day. The husband worked on the shop and I did some sewing. I’ll have more on that in the coming days, but for now, we’re just going to bask in the happiness of these soon-to-be-newlyweds.
