DH and I moved into our house a little over a month ago. The community we are in is about 75% seniors, 25% young people/families. We met our neighbors next to us during the building phase; husband and wife, mid-60s/early 70s. They live in FL full time, but come to our state for the summers only. After they moved in, they offered us their packing materials, which we gratefully accepted and everything seemed to be great. 

SS10 arrived on Saturday for his first two week visit of summer. DH drove the 8 hours roundtrip to BM's to get him. DH said that BM wasn't home at the time of pick-up so GF handled the exchange and instructed DH on SS' medication for his throat issue in case we need it. A friend of DH and I texted us to let us know about BM's engagement, saying he saw the post on FB. He is FB friends with BM and GF so he can keep tabs on them, since BM and GF used to use FB to trash talk us once upon a time. According to him, they made a big to-do about their engagement.

We had our twice weekly Facetime with SS10 tonight. We asked how his weekend was. He didn't really say much, then smirking, he said "We had a party." DH asked SS what the party was for. SS smirked again and said "It was an engagment party. Mama and GF got engaged." DH said "Congratulations" and tried to move on with the call. SS looped back around and said "They are going to get married Fall next year." DH said "That's cool" and again tried to redirect the call. 

On Thursday I posted a blog that BM's GF and SS would be traveling to GF's parents' house 4 hours away. They left Thursday after school, so SS missed school on Friday. BM didn't go with them because she said she was coming to our state to visit her parents... In this post, I went on a whole rant about the double standards because BM would have our asses if I ever took SS anywhere without DH and also the fact that DH could have had SS for the weekend and BM would have been driving right by us en route to her parents, but no, GF got to keep him instead.
