Thanks Luv & View!

BTW, my Olympic sport would be synchronized swimming. Although I am  technically ineligible because I swam Masters synchro. (fun fact).

 
Vmmm I wished you a Happy Birthday too!   It was a day late but I wanted you to celebrate one day longer.

Was reading the People article again, and took some screen shots of some of my favorite parts. Missing them today…but still in shock that they are married hahaI love that he says they were “inseparable” …they still are!

They are still in Stage One of Love; I sincerely hope that they make it through Stage Two and then on to Three, but, honestly, they took a risk marrying so soon. I've known of whirlwind marriages that have turned out okay and some that became disastrous. 
 

 I agree, Annie....What they have going for them, tho, is maturity and a lot of life experience. By the time you're almost 40, most have been around the block a time or two even if not married. In his case, I would agree he was kind've on the rebound although his divorce wasn't final before he met Kym. It seems, tho, that they both are grounded, so I think they have a better than average chance of making it work...and, of course, it's a good thing they won't have to worry about finances!! Just maybe problems with the ex now and then and/or his children--both of which can be major, I might add!!! LOL I'm sure they have talked about all of that.

As a sidebar, I have several parallels with Sharkaroo. My hubby was still married when we met although she had filed for divorce (both times he was in VN) and had 2 kids. We married a year after we met (divorce was final when he returned to the US at the 6 mo. mark in our relationship). I never had any doubts--and apparently he didn't either---44 years later!

You obviously really knew what you were doing; also, some people know how to work at problems and others just give up before giving anything a chance. VN reminds me of what a friend at church told me. She's married, and I knew she had been married before, so I asked if she had any trouble getting her first marriage annulled. She said, "No trouble at all." Her first husband had gone to VN, met a woman over there whom he married without telling her he was already married to someone back home. So, when he left VN, he just left; not even sure he told the VN "wife" he was married. I guess he did lots of confessing when he got home, though, and his wife divorced him. She said that she still still loves him, in a certain way, and is just sorry for him for being so stupid.

On the other hand, if there is any truth to the leaked prenup info, it is appalling imo.  Even after 20 yrs, she would have no roof over the head an little more money than what the wedding itself cost.  Hopefully it isn't true.   
 

Happy Wednesday, sisters.



Did y'all love back to school shopping as much as I did?

I still like going with the kids to get new "stuff".   Our school starts one week from today.  When we were in Arizona, they were getting ready to start already!!  I believe their first day was August 3rd.
