Some moments fill you with so much joy and happiness that you just can't control it. You don't have words to describe your emotions. You are overly excited, and even that doesn't do your emotion justice. These are the moments that put our mundane life into existence. These are the reasons we remember the moments and not what we were doing days before these moments occurred.
This weekend was one such moment: my brother, Travis, proposed to his girlfriend, Shanel, and I was overcome with a happiness that brought tears to my eyes. Being able to share the experience, this moment, with them, family, and friends meant so much to me and everyone around me. It was in that moment that I just couldn't be happier. I was brimming with love and happiness and excitement, and you could easily sense that many of the people there were also feeling the same. Not only are we connected because we are family, but sharing in this moment together made it unforgettable. (Not that Travis or Shanel would ever forget this day! I'm just saying it was monumental to all of us being there as well.)
Congratulations, Travis and Shanel! We are so excited for you!
So glad to hear the happy news! Any chance there will be a double wedding?? (Just kidding. Obviously.) :)
ReplyDeleteE, it was a such a joy to have everyone there, and what a sweet post. Thanks for being an amazing soul-sista.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Aubrey, clearly we're doing a double wedding.
