Jon and I are getting married!
September 3 in Bell Buckle.
I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have someone this wonderful love me and the children.
The kids are very happy.
Now we just have to figure out how to squeeze one more person into a house with only one bathroom ;-)
PS: E-mail me if you want to see my dress....

Congratulations!
A friend of mine, happily married for 25 years, once passed along the secret to his marital bliss: two television sets, two bathrooms.
I suggest that, in lieu of toasters (which you probably have plenty of), you ask everyone to contribute to a "build a second bathroom fund."
Congratulations! I want to see the dress! I wish you every happiness, and I am so happy that the children are happy for you. :) best wishes
how wonderful. Congratulations to you guys!
can I see the dress?
Congratulations Katie & Jon!
I'm so stupid about traditions that it took me several minutes to understand why you did not post your dress here. :)
WOOHOOO! Congratulations to you both, and to your children. But Jon, if you break her heart you will have to deal with this blog! Is it possible to make an addition to your home? Two bathrooms make life much easier in a family of 5.
I have never met you and only know you through your blog (which I've been reading for well over a year and a half), but I feel like I know you a little bit. I'm so very happy for you. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
Hello Katie,
What a happy engagement. I want to thank you for sharing your life through your blog. I write a blog mainly as therapy to survive living with my in-laws. If you ever want to do that, just make sure you have seperate dwellings! I love my married life and hope your is rich and full and brings you more children, which I feel you are fully equiped to handle. Best Wishes! Paula
Awwww congratulations!!! And yes, I want to see the dress!! :)
Congratulations!!
Congratulations & best wishes to you both!
Congrats, Katie. May you and Jon have many happy years together with the kids. Please post wedding-dress pix.
And Paula, I've been doing the intergenerational-living thing for about 14 years now. It wasn't always pretty—and sometimes it was downright ugly—but we've made it work. (I now hold a black belt in training in-laws. :-)) It enabled my husband and me to afford a house here on expensive Long Island and it gives the kids the gift of growing up near their grandparents. The in-laws live in a downstairs apartment that we built in our home.
Hazzah! Hazzah! Wishing you legally wedded bliss!
Are you still getting a pet badger?
Not a badger! A hedgehog!
Congratulations, Katie!
Or, as we say in Portugal, Parabéns!
I've been reading your blog for so long now I feel I know you and your family a little bit. I'm so glad the kids are happy!
Have a wonderful, long life together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
marta
Best Wishes Katie +
Congratulations Jon you're a lucky man.
I want to see the dress. The blog only lists your old Yahoo address.
Congratulations... (I guessed right) ... may you have many years of happiness!
Congratulations. Are you going to have a problem with the term "stepfather" for your new husband as you do with the term "stepmother"
Awww I'm so happy for you Katie!!! Like another poster said I feel like I know you and the kids because I have read this blog for almost 2 years now. Its so exciting to hear that two people are so happily in love!!! Congrats! xoxoxox
Time for all the 'old married' ladies and gents to pass along their secrets to married happiness:
When are in a bad mood, hormonal, or justifiably angry, try to watch what you say. Remember, you want to be with this man for the rest of your lives. Choose your words carefully, because they will have a long life, too.
Set aside regular times to make plans, talk about issues or concerns, and don't let your fun time or your family time be ruined by 'issues' discussions.
Marriage won't always be fair. Don't expect it to be.
"Give them grace, when they hurt each other, to recognize and
acknowledge their fault, and to seek each other’s forgiveness
and yours. Amen."
Someone mentioned two bathrooms. Two checking accounts have saved more than one marriage.
Remind yourself every day of the good reasons you chose this wonderful man, and make him feel special. Even on days when he isn't acting so wonderful.
Love isn't always about how you feel at that moment, it's about how you decide to act. I'm sure you already know that from having 3 kids!
Living together in love for a lifetime can be done! And I know you can do it!
