Sympathy Card

As you all know my Sister Meg got engaged this week. It is such an exciting time for her. I decided that she was kinda getting all the attention, and Josh had really been the big performer. So, being the favorite soon to be Sister in law (ha ha), I texted him congratulations and told him how thankful I was for his patience. He immediately thought I was up to something. "What are you and Aaron going to do to me?" Am I really that bad? I really just wanted to thank him. Maybe I ought to think of something to do to him.

I have also been thinking about my own engagement. The feelings I had and the excitement. A few days after we got engaged I got a card in the mail. I was so excited I thought somebody really wants to congratulate me. As I opened it I thought maybe it was sent to the wrong person because it looked like a sympathy card. It was. It was from Aaron's sisters! Sympathy? Would it really be that bad? Only at times. I love him.

So, see Josh, it could be worse I could have sent you a sympathy card.

Secretly he loved that you text him. Really, he just misses Aaron and our midnight mexican fast food runs.

We got a sympathy card at our reception and thought it was the funnies things ever.

Wow, you totally are going to be the fave sis in law. At least in the western southern states. Kelli will have a good hold on Utah, and I plan on keeping it real here in the Midwest. But a sympathy card is pretty dang good. I'm honestly surprised no one sent one to me. Not for Sean but for Charlie!
