Good morning, Luv!
*HUGS*
We're at 60 degrees right now - looking for a high of only 80 this afternoon.. Apparently, we reenter the sweat-box starting tomorrow - intense heat over the weekend.
Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Greetings FRiends, from the Old Soldier's House in the Sunshine State!
I am using a combined ping list from the Canteen and the Viking Kitties, and a host of other invitees, to alert everybody of a momentous, life-altering event, that I simply must share with the world!
SARGE IS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED!!!
The woman I cryptically referred to in the Canteen as The GF has just become The Bride!
The Bride is an Air Force medic, a retired NCO like me. She was a flight medic for 21 yrs., and worked in the VA Hospital system as an ER Tech for 9 yrs. She is now a Parole Officer with the County Sheriff.
I first met The Bride online, and we corresponded for several weeks until our first date, on Valentine's Day. Over the following months, as we grew closer, we both realized that this was the real thing, and there was no sense in pretending it was anything else. So on Tuesday evening, Sarge presented The Bride with the ring, asked The Question, and the rest is about to become history.
The Bride is fiercely patriotic, like me. Shes a veteran of Desert Storm and the GWOT, also like me. She was abroad in Saudi, twice to Turkey, once to the Azores and once to Guam. She was never in the hot zone, but she did patch up the holes and tears the enemy left behind.
Along with a new wife, I am getting a new family. The Bride has a son and two daughters from a previous marriage, and a grandbaby from the son. Im going to have a teenage daughter! God help me!
The tentative plan is, the wedding will be in October, on the beach of Sanibel Island, at sunset. It will be a very small deal, with only family attending. The Brides son will be the best man, and the two girls will be bridesmaids. The Bride will wear ivory or eggshell; Sarge will be in charcoal-grey.
Over the summer and towards the fall, there will be pics forthcoming for all to see. And the official wedding pics will be posted in the Canteen (yes, I will most likely hijack the thread), so basically, you are all virtually invited!
Sarge will report in later, so Let's Have Fun!

Thanks, Procon! BTW, I’m adding your name to my Wedding Ping List, for the occasion, if that’s alright?

I’m extremely happy for you and The Bride, Old Sarge! May the rest of your lives be nothing but joy!
(p.s., the teenage daughter will outgrow it in 7 years, at most.)

Seems to me that having a wife that’s a Parole Office is sort of redundant isn’t it? :-)
Congrats to you both!

Most likely me, since The Bride wears either low quarters, or business attire if she appears in court.

LOL!
If you teach your stepdaughter right, she could turn out like my Anoreth ... fully capable of shooting any loser youth herself, if they weren’t put off by the intense level of scorn ...
