It's here

The day I both anticipated and dreaded has arrived. My daughter has a boyfriend. He stopped by our house yesterday afternoon for a few minutes just to say hello and introduce himself. Very polite, (which should have made me suspicious) but he made my dd smile and happy--that's what counts.

The young man is 18--which I didn't even consider when she told me they were going out. She's only 16. But, he will be a senior this year--to her junior. I don't really take issue with it. She knows her guidelines that I have handed down, (very VERY) firmly. All in all it's nice to see she has a young man to come calling--geez, I sound like my granny...

She just told me about all this yesterday afternoon, half an hour before she had told the boy to come over. Supper needed eating, dishes needed doing, after a day of yard work floors needed to be vacuumed.

I tell DH over dinner. He did not take in stride as I did. He was a little off kilter about the whole thing. I promised if he said or did anything to embarrass her while the boy was here, I'd make him regret it.

The young man arrived, DH headed for the WalMart to pick up a few things. By the time DH was home, the boy was gone.

Then last night it happened. The first of what are no doubt many phone calls discussing everything from pizza to television programming, movies to music, all just to be talking to each other.

Yay my daughter has her first boyfriend...OMG my baby has a boyfriend! See, of two minds on the whole thing...
