Beautiful 1st date!

And why do I say it was beautiful?  Because I was there!  I thought it was a tad bit odd that Matt wanted us to go on their first date, but as we are all very close, I didn't think too much about it.  Then there in the middle of dinner, he asks us (Robert and I) for permission to date our daughter!  Is this too good to be true or what?  Robert is "Mr. Old Fashioned" and you KNOW he ate this up!  Of course we said we didn't mind.  Then he turned to Katie to OFFICIALLY ask her to be his girlfriend.  It was soooo precious.  Our daughter #3 (Amanda, Katie's best friend) was also with us and she is so precious and sensitive...she put her napkin up to her mouth and was going "oooohhh!!! I'm gonna cry!"  It was all very sweet.  Dinner was wonderful and the conversation was light and happy and funny and....well wonderul too.  Then we all came back to our house.  We stayed up with them for about 45 minutes and Katie gave Matt a foot massage (remember, I am a Massage therapist and I taught her how to do it).  He loved it and asked her to massage his back next.  Well after about 5 minutes of that Robert and I went to bed!  You know the song, "It's getting hot in here"  well, yea....hot....H...O...T.!  so, we had to give them time to "bond".  We have all discussed the importance of "saving yourself for marriage" which is something they are both very serious about, so we aren't too worried, but we left our door open just in case!  And Betsy and Amanda were still up.  Betsy is our little informant, and let me tell ya, she doesn't mind at all!  Before I move on to another subject. . .here is a new picture of Matt and Katie after dinner last night:     

Well y'all, it is Saturday after all....cleaning day.  Iam going to get those lazy girls out of bed and get going on the housework.  Matt is busy today, so he won't be coming over till later.  He is running in a Diabete's fund raiser 5 or 10 mile run.  What a guy!

Good Saturday to you all!
