Over Sprink Break, I got to have a fun day in Dallas wedding dress shopping for my sister along with my Mom, and Sherryl-Courtney's soon to be mil! It was a success...we found THE dress for my sweet baby sister!!
It was such a wonderful time...still strange to see my sister looking so grown up from the little girl with crazy curls and big chocolate brown eyes that I still see in my head. Most of my life, I have always wanted to protect my siblings~whether it was my place or not, (this is soo true-"Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life") I was/am going to stand in the front line...this is none truer than for my baby sister, Courtney. That point given..it was incredibly bittersweet to stand in the same dressing room (just like the one's we used to fight in) and savor a moment that is going to bring change. I'm slowly coming to terms that my beautiful and vivacious sister isn't a child, or even a teenager that needs protection anymore, but a lovely grown woman who is making huge successful strides in this world and just needs support, but much like my children, I want to fight the growing phase with them and her. Courtney getting married signifies that time is surely moving forward. Fast!
Courtney, I could gush all day on you...it wasn't until after I became a mother, that I could truly grasp the significance of a sister. You are one of those nearest to my heart. To see you as an adult still hurts my heart, but brings me so much pride! Your doing good girl...and I'm happy for the beautiful future you have planned.
