a breath of fresh air

on christmas eve, she sat on my sofa singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, off key.  then she stopped, motioned to me with her hand and said - i need some back-up here!

and so we sang.  and then, she decided to ask Santa Dale (my son) questions.

Santa, what do you do when your team has to make a pit-stop?  Doesn't that slow you down, or do they just hold it until the night's over?

of pancakes, she says to my son - yours are good, but your mom's are better.  she puts rainbows and hearts in hers.  see how light they are?

no, she's not sucking up.  she's just FUN, my son's girlfriend is.  her name is jessica, and i am SO happy my son had the good sense to find her, for purely selfish reasons.  number one, she's good for him.  she makes him take responsibility and opens his eyes to other possibilities.  she has a head on her shoulders!.  number two - she plays scrabble, and NOW i have a scrabble partner!  and she's a girlie-girl, but there's no fluff in that brain of hers.  she's older than her 18 years, and has the gifts of empathy, compassion and a super intelligence.

i hope he doesn't mess this up. ;-)

Hi!  Thank you for stopping by my journal and leaving a comment!  I thought I would come on over and check yours out! :)  

My son has an awesome girlfriend too!  They totally compliment each other.  They've been together for almost 4 years now, and I love her so much!   It's important that 'we' as mom like the girls that our son's decide to spend time with.. don't you think? hee

I'll be back.. I put you on alerts!    Great Journal!
