Many of you already know that I am a mom to nine fantastic children. But maybe you don’t know that I have five sons and four daughters. Recently Foof got married and a month before the ceremony my eldest daughter Saleeha, got engaged! As I have written in many of my true life stories, it was hard to ever imagine this joy and the idea that my girls would be able to pick their own careers, daily habits and most importantly their love interest. But here we are, two of my girls have found amazing partners and now for the second time I am overjoyed to witness them blossom, find love and build a future.
Saleeha met her intended through a friend and they share many similarities including their love for literature and writing. It has been a long road for my girl, building that trust and learning to relax and accept love and a warm and endearing heart but she is there and I couldn’t be happier.
Edison is a soft spoken Phd in Chemistry, a poet and he loves to cook! The ring he picked has a vintage look and is just what Saleeha wanted.
They have not picked a wedding date and both of them are not really into having a big bash so they will find what suits them. I am all about being yourself and doing what works for you, so whatever they chose will make me happy for them.
Edison proposed at their special place, deception pass. I posted pictures last year after they shared a romantic day there.
Recently wedding dress shopping commenced and she found the perfect fit for her! It is gorgeous. I will only show a bit of the dress so that Edison isn’t disappointed!
There is hope after the storm, there is peace and you can make it, whatever your struggle might be it can be part of your life and can make you stronger, not break you. Never would I have imagined that we would be here, back home, together and thriving. Don’t ever give up and stay true to being the best you!
Lynn
Oh Lynn, I am so happy for you. As you age, you enjoy life and love of your fantastic children and the loved ones they will marry. You deserve all the happiness in the world.π€π€πππ

I went shopping for a wedding dress with Baby Girl recently, and she picked one with the same style as Saleeha’s. No pics for fear of The Handsome Surveyor seeing it.

Congratulations to the nearly newlywed. How exciting for you. Another chapter for your book. If I am not mistaken there are two boys left. Seeing them grown up goes way to fast. I asked my nephew how old he was and he told me. Well, I thought he was younger. Lesson learned never ask your relatives how old they are. Leads to depression lol
