Okay, so maybe that didn't rhyme as well as I was hoping it would.
Today was my sister's (Jenny's) baby shower (Baby shower number 2!). It was so special and a lot of fun. She is due in just two weeks! I care so much for the little girl already, mostly just because I love Jenny so much and she is part of Jenny. Baby Shaw (whose name is a secret but I actually know what it is, because Jeremiah said it when I was around..) is going to have two amazing parents. I am kind of jealous of the little girl.
My sister Megan took me home from the shower, and we ended up talking about what else...(no, not babies) but love. Falling in love. Being in love. Oh, and me turning 21. You know, all that fun lovey-dovey girl stuff that I rarely allow myself to talk about because I often think it is kind of dumb/pointless. But sometimes you just have to let it out with a sister, you know? And those times are just so darn uplifting and relaxing. Almost like chocolate. Almost.
Meg has two kids and told us a couple weeks ago that she is expecting a third child! I feel like my family is getting really big, really fast. In the past 4 years we have added six people (okay, two of those six aren't born yet, but still). Now we have my mom and dad, Michael, Megan+Chris, (Mikayla, Aiden + third child-to-be) Jenny+Jeremiah,(Baby Shaw/Little Girl) Me, and Ashley.
There are days when it is hard having so many people around, because at times I feel lost in a crowd when I am with my own family. Sometimes people don't notice when you aren't there (or when you are there..not sure which is worse) because there are eight other people talking/laughing/singing and two kids crying/giggling/running around. Yet other times, being part of a big family is the sweetest thing (for the very same reasons) and feels like such a great blessing. I know I have three best friends for the rest of my life in my sisters. And I have two brother-in-laws who are incredibly artistic, musical and creative (well, my sisters are those things as well). And my brother Michael is just so dang smart, successful, adventurous, and committed to God.
I realize that I am feeling a little mushy/gooshy/slooshy (whatever that means) about my family today. It's okay though. I'm allowed to brag about my family every once in a while, right?

About Me
- Lore
- This blog is basically how I de-stress from 1.) all the awkwardness I encounter and cause on a daily basis and 2.) life in general. You know all of those little situations and bumps in the road that you don't give a second that about? (No, you don't know, because you didn't give them a second thought.) Well, those kinds of situations tend to create existential dilemmas in my soul. So at some point I will probably give you too much in depth information on my emotional, spiritual, and mental health, because some self-absorbed part of me thinks you really want to know.
