ball and chain

It's been a while since I have posted anything. Not for lack of anything happening, but for lack of knowing what to say. Plenty has happened. My little sister, Amy, has gotten engaged. If you can feel my heart sinking you would know it is because she was engaged a few days before she turned 19. The phrase 'barely legal' comes to mind. If you haven't already heard all of my freak-outs I will spare you. I am no longer losing my mind about it. Not that I agree with the situation, but I have kept my head attached to my neck. I went down to look at wedding dresses with Amy, Kelli, and my mom. The excitement and happiness Amy was exuding was undeniable. She found her dress. It is simultaneously disagreeable to me and breathtaking to see her in a wedding dress. She is so beautiful and so happy. So, although my cynicism will not fully dissipate, I have become happy for her current happiness and hope beyond all hope that they are always blissfully happy.
