Last year my brother got married. I had started to write about it, but for some reason I have about three pages worth that I never published. It was a beautiful ceremony, and I'll probably get around to posting the pictures one day. For now, I'd like to just keep them to myself for a bit. Anyway, he and my sister-in-law had been together for ten years so the wedding had been in the works for awhile. And then that August they made the move to Nacogdoches. So this marks two years that we haven't been together to celebrate our birthdays. And when I say "WE" I mean ALL of us. We all have birthdays within seven days of each other.
So, Happy Birthday to my lovely sister-in-law Kim (Oct. 24th), and Happy Birthday to my baby brother Carlos (Oct. 25th). When I called him to sing "Happy Birthday" his response was "You know I'm 27 right? Not sure little applies anymore." And my reply was "Well, you'll always be younger than me so the title stays." Then he made some smart ass comment about how old I was getting, and he's lucky he wasn't here in person or there would have been a purple nurple being given. Little shit. But I love them. I'm sad we aren't all close by like we used to be. It was tradition that we'd all get together for dinner with our parents, and spend it talking over good food and a ton of laughs. I miss it. I miss them. BUT I am super proud of everything they are taking on, and achieving. I'm blessed to be able to communicate with them regularly, and to see them in person from time to time. And I am so grateful for the year we were all given. So to you guys: I love you so much! And I wish you many more years ahead. See y'all for Thanksgiving!
