It's been a few months since my last entry...and let me tell you, something worthy of coming out of the blog closet has taken place.
My daughter is being courted.
I thought it was only fitting to fly him to San Antonio as her Christmas gift. Neither one of them believed that I'd keep my word, but December 14th he flew in, and for nine solid days they were nearly inseparable.
It was interesting to see how everything she's grown up doing played into her love life. They made a fort in the living room ala Super Summer Sleepovers. They had a picnic in the backyard while sitting on the Winnie the Pooh tablecloth we've had since her first birthday. We busted out the craft box so they could decorate Christmas stockings and their time capsule. They went sight seeing and in hearing their tales at night I never realized she paid so much attention to where we've been and what we've done in town. He participated in our premature Christmas Eve celebration, watched Friday for the first time, broke bread and played board games.
I promised not to share details about their date nights but I can say that they were everything Tenaysia had imagined.
Brandon and I spent an ample amount of time together in the evenings while Naysia was at work. We Christmas shopped, baked, and I asked him a ridiculous amount of questions. One night I asked him why he was crazy about my daughter. His response was so sweet..."She's funny and smart. She compliments me, she has a way of talking to strangers--like for in that moment she is your best friend. She is passionate, appreciates and understands my Korean culture and speaks the language better than I do. And she's beautiful."
His departure was an emotional one. We'll be in AZ in April and they are counting down the days. Literally.
I thank God that I've lived long enough to raise up this lovely young lady and to witness her being loved and doted on by such a kind young man.
