The Real Thing

Since we are newly engaged, I am looking back and looking forward at the same time. I always love looking back at the family slideshow I created as a Christmas present for my family in 2008. It still makes me cry almost every time! Ugh, stupid ovaries.

These days, all my family is still in my life, but three people that were in the video, whom I thought were permanent fixtures, have rotated themselves out since then. It really makes me appreciate my family, even if they have no choice but to always be there lol.

Many burned family members keep warning me that marriage is only a temporary thing; even to the extent that one family member warned my fiance to "take a look at the family record" before marrying me. I don't like feeling that people are all rooting against me just to make themselves feel better about their own losses. Last night, Dan and I told each other that we will always make this work. Even without marriage, I couldn't picture my life without my best friend.
