The Journal of Penny Grant - April 24

Mom and Dad agreed to let my new fiancé spend the night. Fiancé, isn't that the most splendid word? We are going to get married. I'm so excited.

The parents did rather insist that he stay upstairs, in one of my brother's rooms. Dad in particular is really kind of insistent on the whole graduate first thing.

Graduation, prom, a bachorette party, a wedding. There's so much to plan and do in the next little bit.

When Nick woke up, he used Vincent's old computer.

I should wait till I have more to write, but I am sooo excited. This was the best day any girl could ever want. I'll get to that when it's time.

Dad still only has eyes for Mom. He went specially to buy her the best bouquet of roses he could find.

Mom loved it. But she loves Dad, so he'd have to bring home something really awful to make her unhappy.

Dad's taken to bragging about Vincent's girl Miriam to anyone who will listen.
