A few weeks ago my oldest daughter and I were playing phone tag. She called me first, I called her, she couldn’t talk, will call back. I called when I didn’t get a call back. She’ll call me back in a hour. So she did and we talked about everything and anything. Then I finally asked so why did you call in the first place. She said “oh yeah I meant to tell you I think I’m going to get married.” I said and when do you think that will happen. She said ‘oh when I get a ring, then maybe next Spring.’
I told her shouldn’t this prospective groom talk to her Dad/family first. She says, oh yeah Interogation/Breakfast meeting Saturday 9am.
My kids are funny. I forget sometimes its cause I raised them. Duh? *L* My daughter will be 32 next month. It amazes me that I have kids that old. I always tell them - God you guys got old, I’m still the same. LOL I mean I seen then from the second they were born….where has time gone yeah? When dey babies you can’t wait till they go school, when the go school you can’t wait till they are outta da house. I raised very independent children. They lived to get outta da house and now that they are grown they always say; God I’m glad we don’t live with you guys. I know da feeling. LOL
My oldest daughter was/is the good baby. Didn’t cry for nothing, she was really easy going. Very calm and logic and smart. She has like a photographic memory, scary sometimes. I think she got dat from my Fahdah, dey remember everything and no fo’get notting kine. Oh yeah.
Anyway my daughter is ready to get married and make babies. She’s always wanted to do it in order. I didn’t even do it in order. When she was little she use to ask how come she didn’t come to our wedding. I said trust me you were there. It wasn’t till she was older that she figured it out. Her birthday is July 73 our anniversary is March 73. Wow - talk about decades. Thats how I remember how long I’ve been married, I just remember how old my daughter is.
So if things go accordingly there should be a wedding in May or June 06. I told her no April because I’m suppose to go home for my class reunion. First she was thinking she wanted “chocalate” as one of the colors. A dark brown/maroonish satin? Now she’s thinking “celery” light green. Whatever. She wants a simple, elegant, fun wedding. The wedding will be in Oklahoma.
She’s still debating if she will take his name. The trend she says is to keep your maiden name. Long time ago I never knew you could, I thought it was the law; its just tradition.
Should she decide to take his name; she will be Mrs. Spotted Horsechief. Serious Indian name huh! He’s a Pawnee.

Congrats are in order for numba#1 daughter’s upcoming nupitals next year. My middle daughter got married last month in Miami, the other day I had to send her birth certificate. She chose her husband’s name and kept her maiden name as the middle. Whatever they choose, their still our daughters. You raised yours well too!
