Been a while since I last posted! Quite a few things have happened since then :) One, my brother got married this past weekend! I don't usually like to say that things are perfect, but honestly this was, I don't think I would change a thing. I will never forget the look on my brother's face as he was watching her walk down the aisle. He was trying so hard not to cry, and then that made me cry, and I guess my dad was trying hard not to cry. It was so beautiful. I've been to several weddings where it's more just going through the motions, just doing it for the sake of doing it. But you could see the love they both have for each other so clearly, it was so magical and so wonderful. That whole day was just for them. I got to be in the wedding too which was so amazing. I'm so happy I was able to take part in such a special day :) I cried a lot though haha. I cried at the rehearsal, I cried during the ceremony, I cried during the reception. haha, i'm such a sap! it was a good crying though :) But now I have a sister-in-law and it's so cool! I couldn't be happier for both of them :)
Secondly, Aaron and I made things official between us a little over a month ago :) Everything has been going really really well so far. I'm really happy. There's something so different this time, I'm not really sure how to explain it. When he looks at me, he makes me feel so different. He makes me feel important, like I'm special, like I mean something to him. When he tells me that I'm beautiful I actually believe it, he's sincere and he's genuine. There are no mind games this time. There's just something about all of this that feels so right, and he's said the same thing too. Now I'm not saying I think I'm going to marry him, it's far too soon to be thinking about something like that, but something about him feels very right, at least for the moment. I really care about him and I'm excited to see where all of this goes :) He even came to the wedding with me. I was really hesitant to ask him b/c we haven't been together that long, and since I was in the wedding I wouldn't be with him the entire time and I didn't know if it would be too soon to ask something like that and I didn't want him to be uncomfortable. Everyone advised me to just ask and give him the option, and he said yes without any hesitation. It meant so so much to me that he came. I know he was nervous, he met my entire family in one day, I would have been soooo nervous if it had been reversed. But he came. My family means everything to me, so for him to be a part of that and to meet everyone was very importatn to me. He's actually the first boyfriend I've had that's met my whole family. It meant a lot :)
And we had a lot of fun, we got to dance together at the reception and I love dancing with him. We actually do it a lot on our own, it's cute. But he requested a few songs for the DJ to play, and one of them was Amazed by Lonestar which is the first song we danced to. Well they weren't playing it, so Aaron looks at me and says that he has the song in his car and asked if I'd like to go dance to it out there. So we went out into the parking lot by ourselves and danced to that song. We were the only ones there, and it was really sweet :) He has this romantic side to him that I really love.
I could go on and be all sappy, but I'm sure no one wants to hear it :p so here are a few pictures from the wedding!
