So Much Craziness!
Nov. 10th, 2014 01:28 pmI feel like I've been gone whenever I haven't posted anything for a while.
It's been a busy past couple of weeks. My younger sister got married this Satruday, and much of October was spent getting ready for that wedding (making decorations, sceduling appointments to get various things done, baking, baking, and more baking...). We ended up with more cupcakes and cookies than we know what to do with, but as they say, better to make a lot and have a lot left than to make too little and run out. Thankfully, we know a lot of people. I plan on taking as many cupcakes as I can to the animal shelter tomorrow for the office and clinic staff.
But all craziness aside, it was all lovely. The ceremony was sweet, and the reception turned out great. My sister went with a fall theme and the decorations turned out beautiful. My sister in law made some crates out of old fest posts, and she also made a stand for the apple cider and hot chocolate. It also pays to collect old farms things, like wheels and old milk cans, which really came in handy.
Oh, and if you want to know the kind of man my sister married, he was the one who did the flower arrangments - I kid you not - and they were gorgeous. They are a totally adorable couple. The first time I met him was when we all went to see Guadrians of the Galaxy, so there wasn't too much chit-chat between us. But even so, I liked him right off the bat. Which was saying something since I'd always been "meh" about the guys my sister had dated in the past.
One thing that was a major relief was that I was able to focus on my sister and my happiness for her without any self-pity over my own single state getting in the way. It was something I was exceedingly worried about, since it ended up being a major source of depression for me last yeara when I attended the wedding of my two nieces (although there were other factors involved at the time as well). I do want to be married and I do want to have a family someday, but I'm also, finally, at peace with my current life and the fact that I'm still single. Just as long as my life moves forward in some capacity, whether it's me finally finding a job, my books taking off, or something, then I'm good.
Speaking of which, now that all the wedding craziness is over, I can get back to crazy writing stuff, which I haven't had time to do.
