it's finally here....

...the day that i have been dreading a little bit - yet a little excited for.

today at 3:00 my baby sister will walk down and aisle and marry a guy a barely know. a guy who i have quickly learned is perfect for her. i am not going to lie - i tried to talk her out of it. told her to wait - to experience life - get financially stable - all the responsible things. she is 21 years old - she has never left the country - she has never driven across the country - she hasn't had her heart broken by this world yet.

then

then it just hit me -

- she is going to have someone travel with and someone to be there when the world breaks her heart.

this whole process of preparing for her wedding has really made me realize that true love is completely blind - it has no boundaries. that inside of me there really is the ability to love.

she may only be 21 years old - but out of the 3 of us (me and my sisters) she is the most responsible and has the most level head on her shoulders. she is an amazing young woman and i am going to do my best not to cry today

but i am pretty sure that is impossible.
