My Daughter Chelsea's Engaged!

Chelsea & Brandon


Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come onand sing along!
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good wild and sweet
Let the music play on
(play on, play on)
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We’re going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
Yeah, once you get started
You can’t sit down
Come join the fun
It’s a merry go round
Everyone’s dancing
Their troubles away
Come join our party
See how we play!
Oh, yes
We’re going to have a party!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long!
Everyone you meet
They’re jamming in the street
All night long1
Yeah, I said, everyone you meet
They’re jamming in the street
All night long!
Yeah, I said, everyone you meet
They’re jamming in the street
All night long!
Feel good! feel good!
I don't know why I started singing this song... but the occasion is that my only daughter is engaged and she has some really big plans for her special day.

They seem young and they (20 & 21) are but they are so in love. Thankfully, he has a good head on his shoulders and has done well with his life so far. He is in the Army E-5 but will be re-enlisting and headed off to Washington for a year at the end of next year and so they will be getting married before he leaves, however, Chelsea will live here with us while he's away. She's in nursing school so that works out better and they can save money and buy a home when he returns. I'm really happy for them and I;m very relieved that she has found someone who is so good to her and who loves her so much. They have both her mine & her dad's blessing.
