Exciting Times

My big brother is home for the week. He brought his fiancee, Sarah, and her sister, Hannah, with him.

I have to say, they're pretty amazing people. I'm so thrilled to have a new sister, (almost) and an extended family.

Sarah is gorgeously pretty, but I don't have a picture here, because my computer won't let me put one up. She is from Mississippi. They met three years ago when my brother was doing job training there.

Hannah is funny. She and Dad especially have hit it off. (Secretly, I'm very jealous of her wit.)

I can totally see that the two families are going to fit in amazingly.

In other news, I'm getting a new computer. It should be arriving this week. It is a much needed upgrade from my ten-plus-year-old Dell with graphics, memory and a million other problems. (Including not letting me post pictures of the amazing Sarah. I think I mentioned that already.)

My mother has wonderful taste. I just thought I'd mention that.

For Christmas, I received, among other things, a very blown-up, full-size canvas of my favorite picture of myself. It's very cool. I also got a cameo. I've never had a cameo. It's really pretty.

New Year's is just around the corner. There are so many exciting plans already for the 2012. I'm going to a wedding in Mississippi (Not sure who's...just kidding) I also get to nanny for a little bit in Feb. for some amazing friends, and I'm crossing my fingers in the hopes of returning to the speech and debate arena temporarily; only this time, as a judge, instead of a competitor.

Just as a warning however, if you too have many plans for the new year, be sure to get them done before next Dec. because the scientists say the world will end. :D
