Repent or Be Forever Doomed! The End of Days is Nigh!

Sad, sad times have descended upon this little bloggers family. Weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth is happening throughout the land. Sackcloth and ashes are being worn in grief. . . .

Okay, maybe not, but a sad thing did happen. The Little Brother and The Little Sister-In-Law-To-Be broke up. Oh, there goes the wailing and gnashing of teeth again. *sigh*
I was really sad when The Mom called and told me what happened, and even sadder when I harassed The Little Brother until he called me and told me himself what happened. So there is no August wedding for us to be attending, and I no longer have an excuse to get all gussied up and flutter my eyelashes at The Man until he asks me if I have something in my eye. At least not that day.
It is all a little confusing for the rest of us though, because they have decided to stay good friends, and are still using the tickets they got for their honeymoon trip. They are just going as friends now. And The Little Brother suggested family reunions every other year that also involve The Little Ex-Sister-In-Law-To-Be's family. Oh, and when I was talking to him on the phone, he very hurriedly had to answer another call from her. His excuse was that she was in the woods. I have no idea what that means phone call wise (she is a forestry major at The College), but he never did call me back. (So Little Brother, if you are reading this (though I highly doubt it), I am still waiting by my phone to hear from you. CALL ME BACK OR THEY ARE ALL GOING TO GET IT! Love you!) I guess we will see what happens. Relationships are weird, sometimes. Both The Man and I commend them for not being afraid to call off the wedding so close to the date. I've heard so many stories of couples that should have called it off or postponed it at least until they were better prepared or more sure of things. While The Man and I did get married 4 months after we met, I would never, ever recommend that to any other couple. That was a stroke of good luck and Heavenly Father yelling at both of us to get on with it. We both felt the need to get married as soon as possible, though neither of us are sure why. But hey, you know the old saying, "Do as I say, not as I do." That applies here, folks.

And in happier news, today is our 5 year anniversary! Too bad there will be no fun-having tonight for it, because both of us are sick. I fully blame the fun-having we had over the weekend at The Anniversary Vacation Place (The Hines Mansion in Provo, UT. I highly recommend it). It exhausted both of us. But it was a good exhaustion, until we woke up sick with nasty colds. This is my second one in as many weeks. I am so ready for this to be over! I'm still waiting for The Best Friend's magic cold-taking-away fairy wand to be waved over me. Someday, I will be able to breathe again.
