"gettin' hitched"

Tonight I received a pretty little picture message of a pretty little [big] ring on the pretty little finger of my big sis! After I managed to stop squealing like a girl (embarrassingly) and after I got over my sadness that she is in Colorado Springs & we can't happy dance together… I somehow balanced myself at being just ecstatic for her! She is, after all, my fellow pageant queen & player of barbies.. safe to say we've consecutively dreamed of this day for years! Michael did great right!? He picked it out all on his own, kudos for that.


Subsequently, I started thinking about marriage & engagements & all that jazz. My oldest brother is married with a gorgeous wife and two beautiful children… my sister is now engaged to a handsome soldier (& they have two beautiful canine children)… and then there's me. :) So far we've gone in order, but I think it's likely my 11 year old brother will see the alter before I. 
Can it be okay that I'm okay with that? 
Today my plans concerning marriage are that I have no plans. I am honestly striving to Proverbs 16:3 that entirely. All that's to say-- the "American Dream" is wonder for some, but it is simply not my dream. I look forward to finding out what exactly my "dream" is.. stay tuned..?

Until then…

let's all don our leotards, turn up Beyonce & bust out the single ladies dance. 

whaa uh oh!!!
