Well, my first attempt to blog again ended in my well-thought out post mysteriously disappearing. It was here and when I published it apparently it vanished. So try attempt #2.
I am back. And while this post may not be earth-shattering, I finally decided I needed to get back to writing. I love it so much, but just needed some time to process and adjust to life back at home.
Tis the season of weddings!! That handsome guy is my brother and the bride is my new sister!!—>
My little brother got married about three weeks ago. I got home just in time for the wedding to be getting into high gear. Between showers, rehearsals, and the actual wedding we were all a little busy. My little brother is so grown up-it seems like just yesterday we were running around as kiddos playing and picking on each other. I am sure I was not always the nicest big sister, but my little brother means the world to me. He is one of my favorite people and I will always see him as my little brother whom I love and admire so very much. His wife is pretty great too! I am very excited to have another girl in the family and to have a sister! They are home from their honeymoon and he is getting ready to leave for basic training for the Air Force so it is busy busy around here!
This past weekend my cousin got married. Her and I are closest in age on that side of the family-only nine months apart. We were really close as kids, but have drifted as we have grown older. Life just took us down different paths. But she is family and I love her!! It was such a blast being able to celebrate her special day. Her husband is a great guy and we had a blast dancing the night away. As I was dateless (a theme lately) I spent most of the night twirling the flower girl around. She was adorable! It was also wonderful to get to see a whole bunch of extended family that I haven’t seen in years!!! I realized how thankful I am for my family and how truly supportive they are! Everyone was anxious to hear of my year abroad.
Although after all this talk of love and newlyweds, I am learning the importance of being content and thankful for life experiences. While part of my wishes I were getting married, I know that everything happens in due time. And plus, I am pretty stoked about the next stage in life! (more on that later!) To my family-I love you guys!! To my bloggging friends-I am back!! The tranisition took a bit longer then I had hoped, but in the processing of it all I have content to write about for a very long time! And boy am I glad to be back to writing!
Until next time.. peace and love!
