BlogSlacker... That's me. And there's so much I need to put down here! I'm still reeling from certain happenings in my life recently, both good and bad. The most I can say now is that I'm happy, renewed, and scared shitless! You'll know more soon, I promise...

But what I will write about is my brother's perfect wedding last weekend. I honestly have yet to see a happier, more beautiful wedding. It was simple and perfect. I was unprepared for the flood of tears that ran down my face as Luke stepped out onto the alter to await his bride. Looking at him there I was filled with so much pride and love. Thinking of it again now, the tears appear! I flashed back to our childhood and all the wonderful, thoughful things he's done, as well as all the hard times our family went through and how he always came through as the man of the house. I'm so happy he's finally to this place in his life. He deserves so much happiness.

It was also great having Mike there. He brought Shawn down (Christie's new boyfriend) and the four of us made a night of it. After the wedding, stopping at Scott's Tavern in Sterling for a drink and then off to the reception. It was a dark, rainy night but for some reason, that didn't matter. Mike was his usual, wonderful self and we shared several meaningful dances. absorb.
