Today, my world traveler returns to the nest. Interestingly, yesterday she called me twice. She sounded just like she did the night before she left for Italy. Maybe she is a little leery of the flight. Above anything else, she sounds tired. Every time she would call me I would always ask if she received a ring. I know she is only friends with her Air Force buddy but Italy can be very romantic, so I've heard. So far, the answer is no. She really is very young only going to turn 20 this year. I would prefer she finish school, get a job, and explore all her options. Thank God times have changed, especially for women.
Wish me luck everyone. Pray that the luggage actually arrives at the same time as my daughter. We will finally celebrate Christmas soon as we held off the opening of gifts until she returned. Truly, this was a beautiful holiday as not opening gifts let me focus more on family. That's one side of it...the other being that without the gifts and seeing the joy on their faces, it was a little boring. Oh well, Norman Rockwell and his fantasy paintings are beautiful but really not true. Here's to truth!

Hope that she came in on time.
There is always time for a ring. She must explore out there was is meant for her.
I got engaged when I was 34 and married when I was 35 (a little over 9 yrs ago).
Happy New Year.
