I thought I would give a shout out to myself and acknowledge taking the plunge. Obviously, no Locks is surprised but all are excited, as am I.It must be funny as a parent, after raising your kids and sending them off into the world, to have another kid added to the family.
I know I am going to make eyes roll with this one, but I find this engagement, marriage stuff a little funny. Dont get me wrong, I think there is nothing greater than fully committing all of oneself to another, but why does this process of commitment have to follow this straight and narrow and infinitely traveled path with these same traditions and "rules"?
I dont have an answer, nor am I suggesting an alternative. I'm sure my feelings stem from my slight distaste for the unoriginal. But I realize that this is something I am just going to have to accept....happily. Although I do plan to exert some effort and draw a few curves in the path along the way.
