My Son Finds A NIce Girl and We Like Her!

I have a 26 year old son who has been single for quite sometime now. Like any other mother you want to see your children thrive, become successful and be happy. My son enjoys snowboarding , hockey, golf and most outdoor activities. Over the years it's been hard for him to find a girl who could keep up with him and he did not want to settle. It is so important to have a lot in common with a person you want to have a relationship with.

I was so excited when he called and wanted to bring his new girlfriend Vanessa for a visit...I knew this was more serious then others because he will not bring them home to meet us otherwise.

We met Vanessa and we like her. She is smart, accomplished and sweet...(and likes Yoville! that's another blog story...but huge points with me!) She enjoys snowboarding and other outdoor activities like my son Derek. They are both planning to take up surfing this summer. I asked if I could get some camera practice in...Lol. I told Derek, I will not act like Marie Barone of "Everybody Loves Raymond", though I tend to anyways. I can't help it, I believe there is a Marie Barone in most Mothers! Come on now, if you're being truly honest, Marie is there somewhere in your nature...Lol. Believe me....I have a real life FRANK BARONE on my couch right now! Lol...ok, I am getting off the subject...my son. Yes, he is happy and that makes me happy. I hope to spend more time getting to know this special woman in his life.
