Little did I know what was going on in the bathroom between my daughter and Cosmo. It started out with some red flowers and progressed from there.

You would think that my daughter would have stopped there but nope she didn’t they went ahead and exchanged rings with Cosmo and had their first kiss as husband and wife. They both agreed to wait until after they had graduated to have their wedding night. I am glad about that.

I was on my way to the grave yard when I had my Adult Birthday. By time I got home, my children had moved out. I guess it is time to start my letter to Lacey. I think with as fast as my family is growing I will have to refer Lacey to this blog since I am tracking it any way because it is more and more difficult to keep up with everyone.
