::News...yay!::

Well, I got a call from my brother Jason in Germany. Him and his girlfriend Mandi are engaged! :) They have tentatively set the date for April of next year.

It's kind of funny...we are all growing up. O_o
I've spent a lot of time with my brothers. We were all homechooled, and we've always done alot together as a family. Now, Jason is overseas and engaged, Michael is married and expecting a baby...I don't know, it all seems to happen so fast, growing up that is. When I visit friends I grew up with, it always amazes me at how much they've grown and changed. I guess I never expected it to really happen.

As a child I wanted to grow up so fast, and now....sometimes I wish I could go back to being a kid :)
But I suppose this is the way most people are when they grow older. I just never thought it would REALLY REALLY happen. Where did the time go?

Not that I am not completely thrilled about Michael and Jason mind you...I love Sarai, and I am sure I will love Mandi. I feel so lucky to have such a diverse family. I understand so much more having met Sarai and her family through Michael, and I am sure that it will be no different with Mandi.

But there is that inkling in the back of my head that really misses those last minute trips to Glen Rose with Nels and my brothers, or going out to movies, and even building forts out in the country.
Life was nice then. Life is nice now...just different.

But, as I have learned the past few years, different is usually good. :)
