This, That, and Then

So.

I met Mr. B's dad today at his family reunion. His mom was ill and not able to attend. His dad has come SO far since his stroke, but is still confined to a wheelchair, and is hard to understand when he talks. But I just adored him and he seemed to like me. I also met Mr. B's Aunt Sally and Uncle Gary. They were fabulous!! We hit it off and chatted and laughed like we'd known each other forever. As we were getting ready to head out, she grabbed me and pulled me aside and asked me if Mr. B and I were living together. I said "No, but if you can keep a secret I'll tell you this. We're planning to get married the first weekend of November, and then having a reception the first weekend of December." She gasped, grabbed me, and hugged the air right out of me. Needless to say, I at least passed her test. I'm curious to see what she tells Mr. B's mom.

Now... if you're paying attention.. there's some information in that paragraph for you.....

Should I book a flight into Hartsfield?
I want to come back to visit so badly, and this could just be a good reason.
