Wow, what a weekend. My eldest son, Derek, and his girlfriend, Lesley, came to Destin for a visit. They have been discussing marriage for some time. Derek called on Tuesday to say that a FedEx package would arrive on Thursday morning. I cancelled my workout to make sure I didn't miss the delivery person. Yes, a beautiful diamond ring arrived.
On Saturday, Derek put the ring in his pocket trying to find the right moment to pop the question. We attended the Taste of the Beach event at Seaside which involved lots of people, wine and food. When we came back mid-afternoon, Lesley wanted to walk on the beach. Yes, the perfect spot to propose as the two of them stared out at the emerald-colored Gulf of Mexico.
My other son (Blake), sister (Barb), and brother-in-law (Bill) joined us for a champagne brunch in Rosemary Beach on Sunday morning. I was filled with joy as we toasted Derek and Lesley's engagement. Lesley is a beautiful, intelligent woman, and a perfect match for Derek. I am filled with love for them, and wish them happiness, health and prosperity for their future together. It will be interesting to see 'What's Next in Their lives.' For me, my love multiplies as our family expands!
