I still can't believe that my baby brother is married. I have no problem with him being married, but when it is put in the context of him as my younger brother, I feel really old. They had such a beautiful wedding.. and I've been to two more beautiful weddings since then. The most recent was in the middle of nowhere in a really big barn and involved the groom and his groomsmen dancing to Billy Jean and Push It. That one was somewhat bittersweet because they were both good friends and are moving to Atlanta.
Beth (my brother's new wife) and I are remodeling my mom's kitchen and bathroom and I am attempting to re-get-to-know her. I've known her for about 11 or 12 years, but there was a gap in there between about 16 and 19. She is 100% more girly than I am and its funny to see her do things like put on gloves to pick up sticky tiles and ask my mom if she is actually going to leave the baseboards white because it might look funny. We're going to Home Depot tomorrow to pick out colors for walls, so that will be a trip. I love her to death.
In other news, our lease here at the duplex is going to be all used up at the end of August. Our landlord has recently put up an entirely new fence in the backyard, cleaned up all of his things that were on our driveway and turned a tree stump into a little table. I'm pretty sure we can count on our rent going up. We love it here.. We'll see what happens.
