I just wanted to congratulate you FGG. I am thrilled for you both.

Thanks faithful....

We are both so wonderfully, wonderfully blessed. She just keeps saying how she can't believe that God is answering her prayers and blessing her (can you believe that...someone thinking that I'm a blessing?). Wow....

Ah Heck,

Were you the "older" couple I saw making woppee at SFO near Delta last Sat. ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Man, you should have let me know I would have driven over and chaperoned you two. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

FGG, I hope you two find a deep and lasting happiness.

God Bless,

JL

JL -

Not so sure about the "woppee" part....but I was the older guy smooching on a grandma (1st time for me!) at SFO that day.

Congratulations GG!

I continue to be amazed by the providence of God and the realization of Romans 8:28 in the lives of His children.

I'd love to see a picture of you two and add my prayers for you and your pending marriage. mbforeverhers@yahoo.com if you should find the time for "one more."

I was in Atlanta this past weekend and thought of you while I was there.

God bless!

I was touched by your story. I am so happy for you both.
Congradulations.

When is the big day?

Thanks, FH and Trix....

I've got to take time to finish this story (up to this point at least).

There are many, many small details yet to be resolved...(like, oh...say...where we're going to live!).

We haven't set the day yet (for sure), but we've talked about the week between Christmas and New Year (2006...just in case there is a question about that!).

I'm smiling for you. And certain that you will be very happy together.

GEORGIA!!!

I haven't had the chance to fully catch up on your WONDERFUL STORY but I have gotten the gist of it!!

This is all part of God's Plan for you. Don't cha think?

We won't ever be able to understand HIS PLAN.

Just have to "BELIEVE AND RECEIVE" all the BLESSINGS that HE HAS IN STORE FOR US.

I am ECSTATIC for you. I wish you could see the GRIN on MY FACE.

My H and I have been off PARTYING with the YOUNG FOLK. We just got back from the MARIAH CAREY (also known as MIMI) CONCERT and that was one of the most THRILLING events in my life. You can tell I'm a MAJOR FAN of hers.

SO ALONG WITH MARIAH and YOUR NEWS....WHEEEE...... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

GG,

Why not just say you met on the internet. It is not such a stigma anymore.

Well...the elusive Mimi returns!!!

See what happens when you leave town for a few days and leave me to my own devices!!!

If you'll provide an e-mail address, I'll send you photographic proof!!!

Now, Georgia....(sigh)

You know how I am about the E-Mails.

Anyways, I try to maintain my own imagined visual image of MB Folks.

I'm absolutely sure that you are a WONDERFUL COUPLE..inside and out!!!!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Mimi, If ya wanna see..I can forward it to you....

Trix

She picked her ring up from the jeweler this afternoon. The local jeweler here guessed at her size (7). She's really a 5.

So...she didn't want me to bring it back and get it sized, she took it to a jeweler there.

She's excited all over again!!!

I'm off to have dinner with the couple who (we) have been friends with for so long...you know...the after church friends.

I've told them I have something to tell them. I'm armed with pictures.

(I'm going to make an obnoxious grandpa, aren't I?).

Oh...Mimi..you can imagine me as Mel Gibson from Braveheart.

I can't think of anyone to compare her to that would do her justice....

I was in Atlanta too but didn't see you (or maybe saw you but didn't know who I was looking at)!!

Anyway, just had to chime in and say congratulations. Your story gives me great hope for the future as a pending divorcee.

God bless you and your marriage.

Wow...a wonderful dinner tonight with my friends. They are so anxious to meet Ann. I had to tell them that if time permits, we will try to stop by while she's here.

Edit to add:

Thank you, Life2short. I am so sorry for you pending divorce. I am glad I give you hope, but still staying married is the preferred option if possible.

And...I wasn't in ATL. Incredibly, I was able to catch a better / cheaper flight from Charlotte (which is actually closer to me that ATL). And...I much, much prefer CLT when possible.

Don't want 2 be the only one tossing cold water on the celebrants, but:

2 things are missing from this discussion:

Number A: How did your sons take this news?

Letter 2: How did your xW take this news?

Your sons will forever be a part of your life, so how they 2k the news is important. I hope they're happy for you.

Your xW will forever be your sons' mother, so how she 2k the news is not trivial, either, though your relationship with her may be "complete."

I wish you all, all of you, just the best.

Congratulations GG and Mrs. GG2B! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mrs. GG2B, please take care of GG....he has been through a lot but is equipped with His Needs/Her Needs so he does know how to communicate. He can build a deck, make you laugh.....cook and be a wonderful H. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> He's got an EN questionnaire you can take if you haven't already. Now his extended MB family are quite protective of our big bro'. His brothers JL & 2L, probably got him something from the Discovery Store or Sharper Image. Make sure it isn't a gardening tool or something to watch the stars with. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> WAT and BobPure will probably get him something to wet his whistle....make sure it can be served in a crystal wine goblet and not a beer mug. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

All the best,
L.
