2014 : the year of engagements


I don't know what I never posted about this earlier (probably because I have been so busy) but MY BABY SISTER IS ENGAGED!! Ethan proposed about a month ago to Maddie and she obviously said yes. I couldn't be happier for them. But it also got me thinking about when we were kids & we would talk about our wedding days....

Growing up, we had just our Mom. Our parents were divorced when we were little and we never spent time with our Dad. We never really talked about marriage with Mom because we didn't want to bring up the memories or make her feel bad. So everything the Schultz girls learned about marriage, was from the movies. Boy meets girl, boy courts & romances girl, boy falls head over heels in love with girl (and vice versa), boy proposes to girl in a very romantic way, girl obviously screams yes!!!, girl plans big beautiful wedding, boy and girl get married & live happily ever after. (then they have a big house with lots of kids and a golden retriever. - at least that's my fairytale.) But as it seems, life has different plans for us. I know that Ethan and Maddie were made for one another. It took them some time to find one another, but when they did, boy was it perfect. Ethan was just what Maddie needed in her life and the same can be said for Ethan. Ever since the first day they started dating, they have been together. I've known from the very beginning that Ethan would some day be my brother & it's been such a joy spending time with him and getting to know him better. I can't wait to have him officially be apart of the family and to watch him be a loving husband to my beautiful, thoughtful, amazing little sister Madison. I never thought that my 19 year old sister would get married before me, (especially at 25) but God has a funny way of doing things. I know soulmates are unrealistic but ever since I was a little girl, movies have showed me that they are real. If they are real, then Ethan and Maddie are most definitely soulmates.

They are coming home this weekend to see family/attend their engagement party on Sunday. I can't wait to see them & celebrate their next stage in life!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather outside & taking full advantage of it!
