He's Married?

My brother Peter got married yesterday. It's still kind of hard for me to believe. I'm really happy for him because he and his wife (craziness) looked so happy yesterday, and she's been really good for him. I will try my hardest to get along with her and her side of the family. Everybody was super friendly yesterday, but then yesterday was a day when you really had to be. Plus, everybody was just happy and excited, so it was really hard to be negative about anything. Peter was handsome, Melanie was gorgeous (if you want to see pics I posted some on Facebook), and both of my parents were all dressed up! My Dad bought a new suit, my Mom a new dress. Everybody looked so nice. People also tell me that I did (I'll let you be the judge of that).

A good chunk of the wedding was spent taking pictures (tons of them!). And I had to be in quite a few because not only was a bridesmaid, but I was the groom's sister. Meaning I had to be in most of the family shots. I feel like I've been in enough pictures to last for the rest of the year, at least. But I also had a lot of fun. Hung out with my cousin Elizabeth and her kids, James (16) and Alyssa (2). Alyssa was completely enamored with me. She ran up and jumped in my arms quite a few times, she wanted to dance with me (mostly b/c dancing either meant bouncing up and down or spinning in circles), and she sat on my lap while the special dances were happening and while she ate her cake. I think I'm actually in quite a few pictures with Alyssa that the professional photographer took... guess I'll have to wait and see.

I'm still just finding it hard to grasp fully that he's married. It also makes me wonder about my future. No dates, no boyfriend, no nothing... I know it's really early to be saying this, but I really don't want to die alone... I want to get married and have kids and all that stuff. I just need to keep telling myself that I'm young and that I have plenty of time for all that.

Anyway... I guess I should get back to work. Life is a party!
