I started the thread below as FAMILY CENTRAL - Holiday Edition (replacing our spring, summer and fall editions of GAME CENTRAL). But then I was the first to post, with the invitation below for prospective future wives for my younger son. Since no one else has added their general family reports yet, I thought I would move this (potentially embarrassing to my son) post from the main forum to Ladies Only.

My report: My husband and I got to watch our younger son's first college concert today. He is a freshman classical guitar major at the University of Minnesota. His freshman ensemble sounded quite good, but it was also inspiring to hear the upperclassmen who are, of course, better!

I had hoped son #2 might choose a career with more obvious earning potential since he was an A student, but he has his heart set on becoming a professional musician. So now I am on the lookout for a nice future wife for him, who is majoring in something employable. Parents of freshman young ladies who fit the description, please contact me to begin plotting a match. He is 6'3" tall and though he is not a baseball player, he has the proper genes for a baseball playing grandson! (photo below) Oh boy, it's a good thing he doesn't read this site - he might not like this very much!

Julie

Very handsome young man you have there Julie.

But like Baseball player's, Musician's do not need the Distraction's ( Girls )., That come along with there Career choice. LOL
EH

Fun, ain't it?

LOL Julie, we've been doing some matchmaking strategies in the OH/KY/PA forum as well!

He's a very nice looking young man and I congratulate him on knowing what he wants to pursue in the future. That is a huge accomplishment for a young person!

I have my eye on one of Justbaseball's son's for my daughter. He's a red head and I need to pick carefully if I'm going to get a grandchild with red hair one day.... and he cooks! Of course, I haven't inquired if he's left handed. Gotta pick carefully in these situations, ya know!

Such a dilemma Lafmom....LHPX2's son....or MN-Mom's son. Hey.....I'll take BOTH for my daughter!

Luvbb - What a lucky young girl your daughter would be! Friday night date with lhpx2's son.... which you and I have met, so we know what a cutie pie he is! Then Saturday night with MNMom's son.... look at that smile of his... Don't think your young miss could choose between them. Both are too old for my daughter!

Julie - he is a very fine looking young man!

I am guessing a suit and tie is not his favorite attire?

He reminds me of:

Okay.....hold on....wait a minute....you mean we really do get to pick out son's sweetie? Why didn't someone tell me about this sooner?

Very nice looking young man Julie....hope all goes very well for him in music...and love!

Gaile...just thought we'd spare you the extra work until AFTER your move!

Thank you kindly for that Luvbb....but it may be too late...he is in love....again....I'm just hoping that this time he doesn't feel the need to proclaim it with another tattoo

Maybe we should all take time around the Christmas tree to explain to our teenagers that they need not look for love. Us moms will take care of that through our HSBBW registry! Think they would consider that a good gift? I think it would be marvelous!!!

I mean, everyone knows, momma knows best!! Right?!?!?

He's cuter than a speckled puppy in a field of clover, Julie!

But what is this 'matchmaking' of which you speak? I've told my son for the last twenty years that no girl is good enough for him.....

You betcha!!!! tee hee

Ohhh handsome AND musical ????,...does he clean under his bed too? How about his BBQ skills? I might just have the perfect neice for him!!!
( wink-wink!)
You are shameless Julie,..and I LOOOVE IT!!!!!

Heehee!

CD, no, he usually dresses just a bit more casually!


LadyNMom, you had to get the boy to agree to a contract when they were still too young to understand. It's probably too late for you now. My oldest has picked a real sweetheart, I couldn't have done better myself. (Dating 3 years, seems like it could turn permanent!)

Orlando, ehh, I'm actually hoping both of my boys will "marry up"!

SSMom, funny 'cuz I just came down from making up his bed for a visitor, had to pick up socks and towels from floor, and a few candy wrappers - I don't even want to look under the bed!

Julie

I like this arranged dating idea
MN-Mom-I'll take him for my daughter! They'd be a great couple! She's a 5'9" dancer with beautiful, thick dark blond hair-eyes that match her hair color! Of course she's only a high school sophomore, but if they wait a few years to start dating the age difference won't matter! She's picky because she's taller than most of the boys her age right now!


lafmom, if things don't work out with justbaseball's son-I've got a lefty with dark strawberry blond hair-it was red when he was younger but it's changed some as he's gotten older!

This may be my last post because they're going to kill me if my son finds this post! He doesn't usually go into the ladies forum but he has been known to before!

Hey, we may need to talk!!!

ORMom,

Your daughter sounds beautiful, though I don't know if I should encourage my son to "rob the cradle" like that! We might have to introduce them when she is a freshman in college and he is beginning his Master's degree. Unless he finds a girl who is starting a JOB at that time, and wants to help him pay for graduate school!


Julie

P.S. Can you imagine how embarrassed my son will be if he ever finds out about this thread?

Shhhhh,...pssst,....we promise not to say a word!!!

But he may get a little suspicious when we start sending you pictures of our daughters & neices & then have you secretly stick them in his guitar case with their phone numbers and hobbies listed on the back! tee- hee
