Women among all of the men

Our family is growing and becoming more interesting! By that, I mean, more women are joining me in my minority role as a woman among men! My son Don, and his long time girl friend,Elise, are getting married Sept. 27, 2008. She graduates in Jan., and her mom wants a full year to plan. I LOVE Elise! She joins Cameron, Chris' wife, who I also LOVE! Another of my sons has a new girlfriend, who I like a lot. She is an art student, so we have that in common. It's too soon to say what will happen there, but she seems to be really bright and sweet!

I watched 100 Osmonds on Friday's Oprah show, and I couldn't help notice that most of the younger generation of Osmonds are male! If the Harringtons follow suit, the only time I will get female family members will be when my sons marry! That's okay....there are perks to being surrounded by males! There is always someone who can open up the pickle jars, which have ever increasingly impermeable lids, among other things! I'll trade not getting possession of the remote for someone always remembering to check my oil for me any day! I appreciate my daughter in law and future daughter in law very much. They have helped my sons find the best in themselves. Hopefully my boys have done the same for them. I know that our family is blessed by the women who love our sons and who our sons love. We love them, too.
