So one of my fellow firefighters, who is like a brother to me, recently got engaged. He is also in the marines so he has been gone for a couple months stationed in the southwest. Well, he has decided this morning to announce via Facebook to his parents, friends, and family that he is now engaged. To make it even better, he apparently had not even told his parents he was in a relationship! (The firehouse knew he was dating, but parents were somehow clueless.) So needless to say a huge shitstorm has risen up. And of course the boy is ignoring his frantic mother's calls and infuriated FB comments. I think it is time for wine and chocolate, kicking back, and watching the show... :-)
