Mildly freaking out.

For most people this was just another weekend.  For me this as anything but.  Late last night I received a phone call from my sister.  She informed me that her boyfriend, Chris, asked her a very important question.  Of course I immediately asked what the question was.  It was then that she half said/half screamed that he popped the question.  Of course I screamed and ran around in circles.  I am not proud of it but it happened. As soon as I stopped freaking out she proceeded to ask me a question: would I be her Maid of Honor.  Of course I said yes and this brought on another round of screaming and running in circles.  When I finally calmed down, again, she gave me full details and told me everything that she had planned.  Tonight I talked with her for an hour and a half about wedding details.  I have only known for 24 hours.  I can tell that this will be the first of many long, detail oriented, stressful calls.  The thing is though that I cannot wait for the next call.  I cannot wait to come home periodically to help her and Skype her when I can't.  This is a big task for me to take on and I would not do it for anyone but my sister.  I am so happy for her and her new fiance Chris.  She deserves so much happiness and she found it with him.  They are the cutest and most adorable couple that I have ever met.  They give me hope that love exists and someday I could be like her.  So for now I want to celebrate her new engagement and soak up all the awesomeness before things start to get hectic.  So this is for Chris and Sarah.  May their love grow stronger each and every day and may they live long and prosper.  

My sister and my niece. So happy for the 

both of them as well as Chris (not picture).
