He is now DH! We got married the day after Thanksgiving - Black Friday! It is a little creepy and a few friends tried to tell me we needed to give away 60' TVs for the first 20 people who showed up. Gotta love retail humor

Anyway, the service went great, all the kids behaved and we had a wonderful time. DH extended family was all in town for the holiday which is why we did it at this time and they had a blast meeting my family. SD8 behaved (much to my surprise) and I only had to fuss at her once.

BM tried to keep her away from the event at the last minute (big shock)but thankfully we had some leverage that DH was not afraid to use. (She wants part of our time at Christmas and he told her if she backs out of this agreement then all deals were off)

I appreciate this site and will continue to come here for support and advice. Keep your fingers crossed for us!!
