yayyyyyy!!!

my dear brother is getting married!!!! he proposed to his precious girlfriend (of three years) this afternoon! we are absolutely thrilled...as a girl with just one lonely brother, i don't think i could have picked a better women for my brother, and to thusly be, my sister-in-law!! they've already picked a date even-june 20th, 2009! we are so, so excited! after the proposal (at the botanical gardens), they went to my mom's and had a huge party with all our family and friends. and thanks to amazing technology, my sister skyped us and we got to be part of the party! i seriously have been sitting at the computer for nearly 3 hours now, chatting with different people and watching all the happenings! right now, they are opening cards and gifts, and i get to be a part of even that. it's been so fun to feel a part of things even though we didn't get to physically be there. i've been so bummed all day that we don't get to be part of it all....but this was nice! so congrats to them (even though they don't actually read my blog)! love love!!
