Well.. Old DD is biting the bullet, taking the plunge....

[DiamondDave]

Well... after 5 years of divorce and being the best single dad I can be to my 2 teenage daughters.... I am getting out of the singles pool and back into the midst of the loyal committed married man.... Got extremely lucky with running into an old female friend I was stationed with in my military days. We had not seen each other for years, got in touch to catch up, sparks flew, and that was all she wrote...

Already has been discussion about it, and I already know the answer is yes.... now it's just doing what I have to do...

Incredible Ring - Check
Show respect and honor by asking her father - Check
Memorable plan for the formal proposal - Check
Plans for going to Vegas with the close family to do it - Check
Necessary money - Check
Plans for the long honeymoon - Check
Even more necessary money - Check

Never thought I would do it again... but I am a happy man.... And for those who don't believe in second chances, pffffffffffttttttt.....

Two suggestions:

Use humor to deal with all problems.

Words of wisdom given to us by an older gent:
Always remember when there is a disagreement that you want to end to say:
I'm sorry
I understand
I will try to do better

If you use humor to say those, it will not only "end" the disagreement, but will help both of you to laugh!

 

[boedicca]

Congratulations! I hope the two of you, and your expanded family are incredibly happy!

 

[Foxfyre]

Adding my best wishes to the others Dave.

 

[Cmdr Sheppard]

Congratulations man!

 

[Zoom-boing]

All the best, Dave!

Some of the best girls I met were when I was in the service, now that I think about it.

Yep... none of the "getting to know you" phase....
