A Wedding!!!!

As most of you know, my mom & Dave have been a couple for years, as have my dad and Diana. For at least the past 5 years, I have referred to Dave and Diana's kids as my step-brothers and step-sisters. After so long, they really are like family to me and it's a heck of a lot easier to tell people "My step-sister is getting married!" than it is to say "My dad's girlfriend's daughter is getting married!" Well, at Christmas this year, Dad & Diana finally made it official. After 7 years of being engaged, they have set a date! They will be getting married on April 4, 2009 and we are all very very happy for them!

All of us kids have been harrassing them for a while to tie the knot. At our Christmas Eve party, Diana passed out Christmas cards to all of us. We all opened them at the same time to see this:


(In case you can't see it, it says "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 2009 promises to be a special year because.....) Along with a family picture of us from Diana's surprise birthday party earlier this year. When we flipped the card over it had their wedding invitation!

Although none of us are really living at home anymore, except for Mark, we will now actually be the Brady Bunch of a family that we are. We are all very happy for them and cannot wait for the wedding. Diana has been a blessing in all of our lives. Her children, Liz, Emily and Mark are wonderful people as well. We are so pleased that we will officially all be family this April.
