Long Time Coming

Dear long lost friend (aka- my BLOG),

It has been so long. So very, very long. In fact, it's been 13 months and 20 days. I am oh so very sorry for the long delay. I would say that I promise I hadn't forgotten about you, but that would be a lie. I did. I forgot. So, I apologize for that.

So much has changed in the past (almost) 14 months, that there is no possible way to highlight them all. But here are the key points-

• I went to a total of 12 weddings this year. 12. That's entirely too many weddings in one year, but I am oh so very thrilled for all of my dear friends who have found their forever. Yay to love!
• One of those 12 weddings was for my little brother. What?? My little brother is MARRIED? I still forget sometimes. I think of him as the little curly headed boy that he always was to me. Now he's married. Time flies.
• I became an aunt again in July to the prettiest, cutest, most adorable little baby girl Lexie. She is too stinking cute! It hurts my heart that she lives all the way in Alabama.
• I became an aunt again in November to the most handsome baby boy, Blake. He is perfection. Well, at least when he isn't screaming his head off. I spent my Thanksgiving break snuggled up with him, and it was some of the best days I've had in my life!
• Carter has gotten so big. So, so big! He is so adorable and precious and the light of my life. Over the summer I was babysitting him one night, and put him to bed.... I said "Goodnight I love you!" and he said "I love you too Header!" and I think my heart shattered into a million pieces because of that adorableness. Most days he doesn't care for me and would rather play with "Machew" (or anyone else who is around for that matter), but I still love him so much. He is the best!
• Oh yea... I also got ENGAGED. That's right, I found my prince. Matthew is the best thing in my life (besides Jesus, of course.) We started dating in January of 2013 and he proposed on my birthday in July. Maybe I will blog about that sometime soon. It was perfect, he is perfect for me. I love him so much and can't wait to be his wife in 87 DAYS!!!!
  
  
  
  

So basically my life currently consists of being an aunt, teaching 70 crazy, amazing 8th graders, and trying to plan a wedding at the same time. It's a crazy busy life, which is probably why I forgot about you, poor old blog.

Who knows, maybe it won't be another 14 months before I write again!

Sincerely,
Your old pal Heather
