In 'so awesome even carrots love her' GF news, I had a lovely weekend with my someday DIL. She pretty much lives here now since she and son are inseparable. Saturday night she went out to dinner with DH and I since Bobby was working late. As we are sitting in the Sushi joint 20+ miles from home, without any communication, in walk her parents! They saw us and not her because of the angle and were all surprised and delighted, then saw her and laughed and joined us. I told them how much I appreciated finally having a daughter, and they are just as excited about the son they finally have. Then yesterday we shopped and cooked stuff together for football event since son was working a double shift due to same event.
She is getting promoted which may mean relocating, but they are very mature and have worked out the logistics of him changing schools and all that. All parties, parents and kids, would prefer they were closer, but all agree that the move has to happen if offered. I love that despite being mature enough to weight all the factors themselves they also value and seek the opinions of their parents. This is like parental heaven.
Also, other son is in his 4th week of working for someone other than me. Digits crossed that his 25th year is the one where he figures stuff out. Feeling hopeful.
