Santa has a Brand New Bag

********** I opened the door to find Amanda and Lee on the front porch. "Well, it's about time!" Amanda pushed Lee inside and I gave him a kiss on his cheek. I hugged Amanda as well. I could tell that Lee was extremely nervous. I wasn't quite sure he wanted to be there, but he wanted to be near Amanda.

We walked into the den and of course I had to yell out to my sister that Amanda's boyfriend was there. They looked at one another and Lee's eyes were dancing. Well, they are after all dating…so why shouldn't I call him her boyfriend. Unless…no... could they be more and they just aren't telling us? I wonder what he will get her for Christmas. A beautiful diamond ring would be perfect! But I don't want to push...

I went in search of my sister and I as I walked back downstairs I saw the two of them in a sweet embrace. They really are very much in love….and had been for a long time. I sighed happily knowing that my daughter finally found the man of her dreams. Now if I could just give enough hints regarding marriage without sounds too pushy….
