So, my brother is married, and I now have a sister (officially). It's a bit frightening, and a bit unreal. I feel like it's not going to change anything, and to some degree it won't. They'll be living up in Kansas. I suppose at holidays, Kat will come to family functions, but half the time, friends and significant others are welcome anyway, so it's not like the wedding was the first time she met extended family. Grace and I are still going strongly, and by that I mean our feelings are still strong and the relationship is still suffering from the distance. The daunting task of getting my life in gear, even one step at a time, is far more real to me than my brother's life changes. It felt like a couple extra (mandatory) parties to me, first the bachelor party, then the rehearshal dinner, then the wedding, then back to my own dance schedule. I'm happy for them, of course, and it was nice because it gave me a reason to get into my tux, and I got a bunch of pictures out of it (or will, when they all start trickling in). But otherwise, the only things I'm thinking about are dance workshops next weekend, memorial day trip to the guadalupe river, cleaning my room, getting a job, not wasting so much of my time, etc. Running in circles, or running in place, are not moving forward, not even vicariously. Good luck, bro. My little brother graduates next weekend, and then to college in the fall, so I'm sure I'll post another post like this eventually. But next time, I need to be moving forward myself. Life can't wait much longer.
