Shocking News!

Last Friday night I came home from hanging with my buddy Robyn to a big surprise. It was late and I was surprised to see my sisters boyfriends truck still in our driveway. I walked in the house and there is everyone having a pow wow in my living room. So, just thinkin nuthing of it I plop down on the couch totally exhausted. Next thing I know mom is telling me to say hello to my new future brother in law. I freak out (inside of course), and look over and there is my sister and her boyfriend turned fiance and my sister has this huge rock sittin on her finger. I had quite a few mixed emotions of course. She is only 18 and still has alot of growing up to do (as do I, but there is a huge difference between 18 and 21). I was happy for her because I know she is crazy about this guy, but couldn't help to notice the sinking feeling in my gut because of the stories I have heard about couples who get married that young and have lots of problems. And then there was the typical feeling of "Thats not fair! I was supposed to get engaged first cuz I'm the oldest!" Totally a selfish approach that I had to silence immediately and kick myself for even thinking that.
So, in conclusion, I am happy for my little sister. I don't think it is the wisest decision this soon since they are so young, but God is in control. I will just pray really really hard that if it is God's will for them to be together now that they would do well together, and if it isn't God's will for them to marry that they would realize it before it is too late. Congrats Jen!
