we baked and talked and cooked and talked and gathered and talked and baked more and talked and chopped up apples and talked and put together piles of things needing to go with us and talked and packed up cars and talked and forgot the couscous and talked and called home to get forgotten couscous and talked and set tables and talked and arranged rooms and talked and made beautiful a house and talked and celebrated the coming wedding of the third daughter of this family while talking more.

(my family talks no matter what they’re doing)

another sister is getting married.  and it became real today when i stood in front of over forty women/ladies/girls/females/whatever age category you’d title yourself under and welcomed them to a bridal shower for her.  she then proceeded to open up all those house necessities and i couldn’t quite grasp the idea that she’ll be making herself a home elsewhere in a little over a month.

weird.

change is abounding in my life right now.  and i’m madly trying to keep up with it.
