Let the hissy fit begin

So all four of us kids and my sister-in-law decided that we were not going to tell our mom about our dad's upcoming re-marriage. We didn't know how she would take it and with everything that she has been through we didn't want to add to the stress. It was a good decision. We even kept her busy when he had her visiting two weeks ago. We made sure that while they were at church they didn't see eachother. Their wards overlap a bit so there was that possibility. Well that entire plan got blown to poopie do. We went to my brother and his fiancee's house and after dinner we were sitting around talking and Megan just started talking, " I am going to tell you something that no one wants to tell you." All eyes got big daggers were thrown to get her to shut up. My first thought was great she is pregnant and they have to move the wedding up. But oh no she says this, " Curtis is getting remarried on October 9 to a women named Marion who lives in Alamosa. They have known each other for a while." We thought mom's head was going to explode. Nope all she said was that poor women. Ha!! She said that she was happy that he will be out of her life and that she can truly feel safe. Crap if we had known that we would have told her sooner. My mom actually knows this women. The reason for the October 9 date is because it is both of their birthdays. Kind of stupid if you ask me. She said that their mom's know eachother and that they grew up together. Some info I got from Megan about Marion is that she is a professor at Adams State College. Darn good thing I decided not to go there. Dad still wants us to go to his wedding but with Casey and Megan's on the 11th we probably won't be able to. You know we have the bachelorette/Bachelor parties, the rehearsal dinner, other more fun activities to partake in. It is a toss up.
