After 24 hours waiting.... I called again.... "uh dad.... did you get my email this time?" "Yeah, that was funny" he says. "hmm.... oh. Not the funny joke email... the letter. Did you get a letter/announcement/thing?" "No". Eeeek. SO I just told him. He is very happy for me and likes ecurbh a lot. He hopes our money troubles end soon so that doesn't wreck a good thing. He even said he wished my Mom could have been at this wedding. Was good!
