One and Only

I'm currently wearing my excited face.  

My brother has been at college in Texas since what seems like forever...and he is coming home tomorrow. TOMORROW!! I can't wait to have him back in the house; making noise and being a general 18 year old male. :) He bugs the crap out of me like nobody's business, and I make him more mad than anyone else on the face of the earth, but I couldn't believe how much I missed him when he left. He's never been more than a few hours away from me the last 18 years, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was for the space between us. I can't wait to have a fun-filled Thanksgiving break with him home!! We're going to go camping and eat WAY too much food!

baby brother :)

Switching to my happy and in love face, I thought I'd post a few pictures from the Ball last Thursday...

 It was SO much fun. Getting all dressed up and getting my hair done by Summer at Head East Salon in Alpine, and seeing my man in his sexy uniform...

"We want YOU for the US Marines!"

Seriously, the best part of the night was when I helped him get the jacket/blouse/thing {{I have no idea what the dress blues jacket is called}} on and he turned around to face me...holy moly. I've always wanted to call up all his ex-girlfriends and the girls that stood him up in the past and gloat about how much they missed out on, and how "you will never get this!" But that moment I felt like I was the luckiest woman on the PLANET! He is so handsome. And all of his friends {{who are all very near and dear to my heart}} also looked exceedingly dashing!!

I'm sure I'll have some fun and interesting topics later on in the week, but for now my brain is shutting down...
