Guess what...
My Mom is getting married again...and she asked me to perform the wedding. The wedding is in three weeks up in Seattle. I said yes of course and that made her happy. It is just so strange. I am living with my Dad down here and flying back to the NW to marry my Mom to someone else.
Those of you who know me outside of this LJ know that my family is very important to me. My parents were the last people I ever thought would break up in the first place. When it happened it was crazy! It was not too long after my ex and I broke up. My family hasn't had great luck, or at least we had a rough couple of years. Jack and Jeanna are very happy and my Mom has found a man that makes her happy. I can't really ask for any more than that. I want her to be happy. It is just strange, that's all.
Dad is doing alright. It is weird for him. They were married for 33 years. That is a long time. They got together when my Mom was in 8th grade and Dad was a freshman. There is a lot of history and he is processing it. I'm doing my best to process it too. All the memories I have of my life growing up are the two of them and now they aren't "Jack and Karen" anymore. It's weird. I need to take some time and just let it all sink in.
Good news, I will be in the Seattle for a few days...probably only two or three days because I have a book show that I fly out to on the Monday following the wedding. I will be flying back to PDX for Baby Jack's (my nephew) 1st birthday! I am going to try to make it a week long trip, but we will see how that works out. This is a busy time of the year for me here at work but I think I can swing it!
