Alvie, our 3rd son, called a couple of weeks ago to announce his engagement. I knew it was coming...after his 2nd date with this gal, he called and I could hear in his "Hi mom" that he was over the moon! We've only met Gigi via Skype, but she is adorable and when I asked her "Why Alvie?" she had the perfect answer that every mom wants to hear about her son.
And unlike the mom in this cartoon, I have already found out that Gigi and I have a few things in common...Here are 3:
*She likes "The Biggest Loser". I don't watch much TV (Netflix is my vice), but ever since Season 2, I have been a faithful "Biggest Loser" viewer and plan my calendar around each finale. Last year we even had our own family "Biggest Loser" competition.
*She admits that she's lilkes to be in control when it comes to slow dancing. Much as I love my husband, slow dancing with him drives me a little crazy. He starts going around in a circle and like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps going and going and going in that same circle--aarg! So, sometimes I try to strong arm him just to get us out of that darn circle.
*She just sent me a picture of the wedding bouquet she wants--yellow roses! My favorite flower! She just scored big points with me on that one.
So welcome to the family, Gigi!
What's the best thing you and your IL have in common?
