Tonight, my phone rang around 10:00 pm while I was snuggled in bed
watching the news with Christian.
(I'm turning into my parents).
It was from Nate, Claire's boyfriend.
I answered the phone,
"Mom?" It was Claire.
"Mom?" It was Claire.
I didn't even have time to say hello when she blurted out:
"Nate asked me to marry him!"...
Then my mind raced to two years before to the night that Claire
met Nate while she was living in Arizona.
She called to tell me about an adorable boy who
drove an adorable truck and how she wanted him
to ask her out.
Eventually, he did.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
My LITTLE Toad is getting married!!! WHAT?
