Time Really Does Fly!

I had no idea, 3 months ago, when I wrote this post; that time would fly by so incredibly fast! In January, April seemed so far away, and now that it's April...January seemed like it was forever ago. This time next week, I will be watching my Brother become a United States Marine! It's hard to believe that the time is finally here; that everything he has worked toward over the course of the last 12 weeks is about to pay off; that my Brother, my little brother, is going to be a Marine. The Few. The Proud. The Marines. I could never be more proud of my Brother than I am now.

I am so excited to see him; so excited that I can hardly stand it! When we leave for Parris Island on Wednesday morning of next week, I'll probably be so giddy that Paul will want to pack me in the trunk with the luggage. I wouldn't put it past him either, but how can I not be expected to be so excited to see my Marine Brother? To wrap my arms around his neck, and give him the biggest 'Big Sister' hug that he has ever gotten? This is my little Brother; the one I beat up with a pair of sneakers one time; the one who will be a Marine. I am one proud Big Sister!

Now, if you're sitting there wondering what in the heck you're going to do without any blog posts from me for 5 days (which I doubt you are), I've got it covered! I know, always thinking ahead...I'm so organized (not). I'll be here Monday with a Monday Minute/Easter post, Tuesday with a Post-It Note post, and a scheduled Wednesday, Thursday & Friday post! And how cool is it that for next Friday, Elizabeth of Confessions of a Working Mom, will be guest posting for me?! You should definitely get excited about that, because Elizabeth is Da-Bomb. Does anyone even use that word anymore? No? Guess I'm not as cool as I thought I was.

Anyway, so...it should be a good week next week. I'm excited :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Good Friday, and hap-hap-happy Easter Weekend!
