No baby or wedding yet! in A New Beginning

Well, we found out what the surprise Joey and Stephanie have is, and I’m really happy to say that it’s neither a baby nor a wedding just yet! It’s a new car for Stephanie. ;o) She really needed one, because she and her mom had been sharing a car, which didn’t work out too badly while she and her mom were living together! But since the place Joey and Stephanie are going to be moving into isn’t even in the same town as her mom, Steph really had to have a car of her own, and we’re glad she finally found a good used car, to her liking, that she could afford to buy. Now once my Sis buys her brand-new Subaru and gives Joey her old one (which is still her plan), those “kids” of ours are going to be all set. Plus, as they told us yesterday, they are both getting a raise in April!

Joe and I, on our weekend drive, went and took a look at the trailer the kids are going to be renting. It’s certainly not fancy, but as Joe said, “It doesn’t look too bad!” They are starting out the same way we did....two kids of the same age who still have A LOT to learn, but are going to learn it together. Since Carrie married men (she’s divorced once and remarried) much older than her, she’s never had this kind of experience. I’m not saying one is better than the other....in fact, years ago and in many cultures it is more typical for young women (girls even) to marry older men…but I still like the idea of a couple growing “up” together, more or less.

That’s all I feel like writing right now, at 1:30 a.m.! I have been sleeping (and doing everything else!) so comfortably lately that I can hardly wait to get back into bed! G’night, all. :o)
