Anyway..... I have the happiest announcement in the world. My beautiful big sister Brooke Duffy is getting MARRIED! Did I mention that I LOVE LOVE? And I love weddings. And I love happiness. Did I also mention that I love my sisters more than anything in the world? And did I also mention that seeing Brooke this happy and in love makes me ecstatic? I am just so giddy about the whole thing.
When she came over Saturday to show us her ring, she was practically glowing. Her whole countenance was radiating happiness, peace, contentment, and pure joy. I decided right then and there that I will wait as long as I have to, to look that way one day when the man of my dreams asks me to marry him.
Brooke and Doug make such a good couple. They are so good for each other. He calms Brooke down and she makes sure that he is on time. Like my grandma said, "they have electricity between them." I asked her if her and my grandpa had electricity between them too. She said "of course!" as if that was the silliest question in the world. So ladies (because let's be honest no man is reading my blog) wait for someone you have electricity with. Among many other important things, of course. Wow I kind of get off topic don't I?
Anywho.. I am so excited for Brooke. She deserves this so much. She has been so patient and good and strong. I hope I can be half as amazing as her some day. I will be sad to see her have a new best friend now. But it is so worth it. I wouldn't have it any other way. My family is gaining a new member and I am so happy about it. Doug is so great. I hope he can get used to how annoying and involved in each others lives we are! My dad said to him, "when you marry one of them, you get four others along with her." (Including my wonderful mother who is sometimes like a sister as well) I am so grateful that my sisters and me are so close. They are my best friends, even though they all drive me absolutely nuts sometimes. What would life be without sisters?
I love this quote I found about sisters. I think it is perfect. Thank the heavens for giving me three sisters.
"Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers." ~Pam Brown
Congratulations Brookie. I love you so much. And I can't wait to see how happy your whole life is going to be.
