Ashley and Wendel They are going to be such great parents
A month ago Ashley and Wendel told us some amazing news. I am going to be a Grandma!!! Of course I was sworn to secrecy, because they didn't want anyone to know until they were 3 months along. I want you to know that I was very good, and didn't even tell my parents. There is something about knowing your daughter is going to be a mother. One of my greatest joys is being a mother, and I am so excited that Ashley will have that wonderful experience. Your life changes forever, but it is a good thing.
When Ashley and Wendel were here last month interviewing for a job, we all went out to dinner (Me, Dave, Lindsey, Dylan, Fred and Linda Schultz, Bethany and her friend) to the Blue Iguana. Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, Ashley said they had an announcement to make... they told us they were expecting in March. Now to say that I got excited would be an understatement. I was probably an embarssament to them, but I just couldn't have been happier. I have been waiting a long time for this.
It will also be another wonderful phase in my life. People tell me that being a grandma is even better that being a mom. I am so grateful for all of my wonderful children. I have been so blessed in my life. Thank you Ashley and Wendel for this wonderful gift. I am so proud of both of you and love you so much.
Congratulations! Very exciting. For a little extra perspective on this life-changing event, I invite you to check out this short video -- ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/1534 -- about the aha moment of one new grandma. Hope you enjoy it.
