It’s a proud moment in a mother’s life when her daughter’s babydaddy, after saying all kinds of nasty things to the press and then showing his goods in Playgirl magazine, decides that he’d like to come back into the family fold.  Perhaps this would have been a better-timed decision if it happened while the aforementioned mother was a Republican vice-presidential candidate.  Sarah Palin was already mocked mercilessly in the press for not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, and then it came out that her unmarried teenage daughter was knocked up by a mullet-wearing good ol’ boy whose greatest accomplishment involved Guitar Hero.  That was pretty much the last nail in the coffin.

One Can Only Imagine The Excitement Sarah Palin Feels To Have This Young Fella Back In The Family.

One Can Only Imagine The Excitement Sarah Palin Feels To Have This Young Fella Back In The Family.

Levi Johnston was undoubtedly strong-armed into his previous engagement to young Bristol Palin.  One can only assume that, given his proven inability to operate any birth control device, someone helped him slip the engagement ring on her finger.  That engagement fell apart shortly after it became clear that Sarah Palin wouldn’t become second-in-command, and there was no immediate “family values” display to uphold.

But it seems that, after months of arguing over custody of little Tripp, love blossomed once again for the now-19 year-old Bristol and 20 year-old Levi.  He declared his love for her in a very romantic text message.  “I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again”, he wrote, according to Bristol, although it more than likely read: “I miss U.  I luv U.  I want 2 b w U”.  So they got engaged again two weeks ago, but didn’t tell anyone because they were afraid of what their parents would say, in yet another display of the maturity that makes them great role models for young people.  The Palins did release a statement to the Today Show this morning, stating, “”Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what’s best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.”

Sarah Palin’s enthusiasm was clear as a bell.  She is obviously ecstatic about the upcoming nuptials, which the kids plan to have within the next six months.  Proud as a peacock, that Grammy Palin.

Although Levi’s acting career seems to have stalled after his naked frolic through the pages of Playgirl, he has landed a gig doing something oil-related in Alaska.  Part of the conflict during the custody meetings related to his inability to maintain child support payments.  Bristol, on the other hand, will be making some serious bank by making speeches about (not kidding) abstinence for young people.  She’ll pull in between $15,000 and $30,000 per appearance.  The couple also made some cash to appear on the cover of US Weekly, although those details are being kept under wraps.

As for the plans for their future, Bristol Palin has said that she will be content to live with Levi near their native Wasilla.  With the money she makes, there is no doubt that they will be able to afford to live in a place where they can see Russia from their house.
