Family Milestone


Tonight the family officially grew. Tad, the oldest of the Espeseth boys, at a whopping 36, gave his longtime (ten years) girlfriend Missy, a diamond, on her 30th birthday. It was a surprise to all of us, including her. He did have a head injury two weeks ago, requiring seven staples on the top of his melon, that could be the change of thought. I think it knocked some sense into him.

She is a wonderful girl, a radiology technician at Trinity Hospital in Minot. She is quiet, mannerly, beautiful, smart, - just plain a gem of a girl. I read somewhere that boys like to marry girls just like dear old mom.

Anyway, we are delighted for them and wish them all the happiness. Missy's sister, Shelley, said to me "Missy really likes the idea of a "warm" wedding." So I look at it this way: If they rush into the wedding as fast as the engagement I will have time to save money, lose 25 pounds, and the last three will be out the door so we won't have to worry about child care, (take them with- bite your tongue!) But we may also have to worry about how well wheelchairs move on the beach.
