Simple Pleasures

My sister decided not to get married after all, which I can't say that I'm upset about. I'm happy that she's not moving to Washington and she will be near me still. I don't know how some families do it. I could never be that far away from my mom or Elizabeth. Work is going well. I'm still learning and probably will be for a long time...but I like it. It keeps me busy. So busy in fact, that I had to resign from Excelsior altogether. That was kind of sad but also kind of time. I mentally let go of that place a while ago and now it was just time to make it official. The boys are doing well..still spoiled and naughty. Ben has his annual anime conference coming up and is looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to the fall...not that summer has been horrible but I love the fall when all the leaves change and it gets chilly outside at night. It's perfect! Ahhhh...the simple pleasures in life :)

Engagement party

Well it's official...my little sister is engaged. While I was hesitant about this boy in the beginning, I spent a lot of time with him yesterday and must say that I really like him. I think he could be good for Elizabeth. He is in the army and deploys to Iraq in two weeks. They were originally going to get married yesterday but then decided to wait until after he returns from Iraq to get married...so we had an engagement party instead of a reception. Although I'm not thrilled at the thought of her marrying someone in the army and all the moving that entails, I have some time to get used to it.
