Can I have your Blessing, Pt. 2

My mom called me over the weekend to let me know that Bob proposed. I never did call him back to tell him my thoughts. After weeks of thinking about this, although not over analyzing, I came to the conclusion that my mother is a grown woman and can make her own decisions. Besides she is going to do what she wants or rather what she feels is right for her. Bob and mom went to Myrtle Beach, SC and apparently Bob spent no expense. He took my mom for a night at the Dixie Stampede, where you eat with no silverware and watch people do horse tricks. What a very extravagant night.

So, my mother is going to get married for the 3rd time. I've read and heard that you have a 60% chance of splitting up when it is your 2nd message and a greater chance on your 3rd. Also, I just saw where men gain an average of 5 pounds the first year of marriage and women 7. I guess what I'm trying to say is Bob and Mom have a 30% of staying married and gaining wait during the process. The odds do not look good. Either way, I do wish her the best.
