Soon it will get colder, & the nights will get longer, & I will sit at the computer a lot more, drinking coffee & thinking about the summer & all that took place during it. &, of course, I will be posting much more often...
So, my lil sister is a married woman now. I still feel slightly out of it. It is a wonder how fast the time goes by. We all say that now & then concerning different things in our lives. You meet a friend from school, or see somebody's kids for the first time in a year... But it is especially shocking when you marry off your lil sister whose diapers you used to change. Especially if you yourself aren't married :) It was a great wedding. It blesses my heart to see my sister this happy. For the first time in so many years. I am excited to witness her & Jake's marriage. Very excited. A few pics:
I think I have been using Xanga only cuz since I got it I decided I'll stay faithful to it forever. I used to post stuff & keep in touch with people on here until MySpace came up. Then FaceBook. & on & on. & I kept neglecting it. Now I post the same stuff on here that I do on http://AlexanderPetrov.WordPress.com just to keep it going. But I feel like getting back to Xanga. Change the page appearence & stuff. Goodness, I haven't done that in... pshh... five years? Seriously, Xanga, I love you :)
The last several days were really great. I have discovered many small things to make (& what's more important, keep) me happy. The main blessing was discovering more about my favorite singer & actually getting a hold of her! I have really been learning a lot from her approach of things & people, & can't even put in words how grateful I am for her. It's been nice to finally get a taste of the spring, & not have to wear too much clothes. The sun's been shining. My friend Vadeem & I took a walk that has turned into a hike (would be strange if it didn't). Conversations about weddings & life... church politics & businesses... a dam & swamps... Here are some shots from the village called Low Mills:
My sister Ira & her fiance (well, husband on the paper already) Jake came to visit today. That was fun. I like him, & am very blessed my sister is marrying a nice & respectful man. It has been amazing to me to learn just how very similar his & my taste in movies are. Like, last night he FaceBooked me, saying how he's got these two movies he's bringing for me. They happened to be exactly the two movies I had here waiting for him!
