aint life grand
This is my first blog ever, so don't shoot me if I bore you to death. I saw Jennetic's blog after googling "Jennetic" as I remember that being an email address of my wifes best friend. I read a blog and was quite amazed and have to admit it made me smile. Jenn you are definately one special lady. Much love... So here I sit writing a blog the night before I take my oldest daughter to a county courthouse two states away from home to get married at 17 to her bf of the last year.
Jenn thank you in case I forget for putting us up in the Hobbit hole. I am sad that I couldn't kick your butt in a freindly game of scrabble. I heard there was tire trouble. I guess I will know in the morning, eh?
For anyone else reading, this trip to the underwater paradise of Baltimore started about a month ago when my wife and I dug below the surface when our oldest threw a fit and found the true reason was that she was scared she might be pregnant. Well lo and behold, she was. Ain't life grand?
It has been a paradigm shift after running through a full gamat of emotions that I will be a grandpa at 37. Ouch!!!! Mom says hell no she won't go - no title like that is getting pinned to her. I can definately understand. After all this time I still feel like being caught in a whirlwind.
Some may say, how can you think of letting children get married; but I believe that I have to let the child grow up, because soon she will be mom. My sweet wife and I have a lot to teach these kids, so that they have the best chance with the cards they now are holding. The best I hope for now is that they listen and apply what they hear. Although I gotta tell ya, the track record isn't good: I think the chance is good that they will listen now... just maybe...
This has been good, don't know why I have not blogged before... hopefully I didn't put anyone in a coma.

Hi!!! Nice blog, Scrabble Champ (but only champ until our next game!!!)
it was loads of fun having the family in the Hobbit Hole! I can't believe that so many people managed to fit in my wee apartment, but it worked! And it's always so good to get to hang with you, your beautiful wife, and your wonderful kids!
The kids did the right thing today. The marriage may or may not work out- but that is true for every marriage. Now all parties are protected- the mom, the dad, and the baby. They are all legally recognized as a family unit. The kids are in love and are glowing with happiness. It's the best outcome in this situation, in my perspective. And they have a LOT of support from you and the wife to help them out physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. It's the best start possible under the cirumstances, in my humble opinion, for what it's worth.
