Number One on My Hit Parade
Or maybe that should be Hit List…..
All right, condensing all the details:
- Chickie’s boyfriend (Aniah’s daddy) joined the Army
- When he left things were NOT GOOD between them (understatement)
- The relationship has since been ironed out – again
- The Army does not recognize Aniah, even though Dad’s name is on the birth certificate because they are a) not married or b) he has not been dunned for child support through the courts
- Boyfriend-turned-fiance-again (BTFA) is in another round of training at Ft Lee in Virginai
- Training will be over in September when he will go to a 6 month assignment and then be deployed.
- They want to get married, but if they wait til September then they won’t be able to get base housing…. they won’t have had time to be on the waiting list.
- When they marry, his salary goes up and Aniah gets her benefits.
That’s the short version without all the angst and various dramas (you don’t EVEN want to get me started on Daddy Dearest’s reaction!!)
SO – I will be driving Chickie to Virginia over the July 4th weekend to get married in a hurry up courthouse ceremony in the little time BTFA can get away from the base.
That is – of course – if we can figure out all the logistics.
UGH.
Damn good thing teachers have the summer off!!
Don’t give up on me – I’m catching up with you guys slowly, but surely. (That’s surely, not surly!!!)
She lives! 🙂 Dude, the drama of children with children — I hear you! So good to see you back here again! Yea! xoxo

I still totally think Nova Scotia is reachable after the wedding. Mind you, I think we need passports now to travel between our countries. That sucks. With a sigh…

Not to throw a wet towel on the plans but might want to make sure that he makes his CO’s aware that he is getting married. Might be a bit of a pickle if he doesn’t. BTW Glad you dropped back in. Lael

How’d I miss this? *looks at date* Oh. That was a week before Joy’s wedding. Well, congratulations to the happy couple. Bender’s at Fort Eustis and will also be graduating in September. I wonder if they’ve run across each other?
