stay away from me today k

Last night was bad... I'm sorry to everyone who had the unfortunate luck of being trapped in a conversation with me bwahaha.. but omgosh.. today isn't going much better... LOL

My baby brother... (ok he just turned 23, but he's still MY baby brother) has his first real serious girlfriend.. I just found out last night.. ILY's have already been exchanged and what not. He's been super busy trying to finish up school (he's in boston.. I'm seriously so proud of him), so we haven't really been chatting for a while-- plus you know, the last 6 months my life kinda got flipped upside down and what not

.. so anyway.. he was all like yeh sorry I didn't tell you.. you need to meet her etc Gosh...

My brother is in love and all that...

holy crap..

LOL
that is all

Awwwww, La! Thats as good a reason as any to be emotional! Just declare today a "weepy" day and go for it!

Traci Reed · #3 08-16-2008, 11:31 AM

Awww La, you can't protect em forever!

I can totally relate. My baby brother - also 23 - is coming to visit us this week and bringing his girlfriend along.

I'm so happy for him and can't wait to meet her.

I think you're supposed to tell her to be nice to your brother or you'll cut her.

**Holly** · #10 08-16-2008, 12:07 PM

Awe! It's ok to be emotional over that...

Yay for your brother! hehe

lauren grier · #11 08-16-2008, 12:12 PM

geesh... she has pics of them together on her facebook.. they are so stankin cute together.. My brother is a loser LOL...How could he not tell me

AddictedScrapper · #12 08-16-2008, 12:14 PM

Oh La

I am so glad I never had any younger siblings because I'd be the same way, if not worse.

I think you should mess with his girlfriend and say "hi, I'm his VERY protective sister, I just wanted to introduce myself and see if he has had the conversation with you about what has happened with his other girlfriends that have done him wrong?"

I think that's a good way to set the tone LOL

My sister, who is 23, got her first 'big gurl' job this year as a teacher, is engaged to be married, and put in an offer on a house with her fiance.

Talk abt mindfreak. I feel your pain, La.

ROFLOL... For some reason I don't think that would be appropriate!

scrapperjade · #15 08-16-2008, 12:38 PM

I know what you mean La! My brother is turning 24 in a couple days (ummm, 5 I guess), and he got married in March! MARRIED! He is this total nerd-kid, and he gets this super hot girl who is SO sweet (and shy & quiet), and then a year later... he's married! It was crazy. I cried at the wedding (I blamed it on hormones though... my baby was 2.5 months old, lol)!

I had to attach a pic for you to see... u can't tell what a geek my bro is here... he was looking pretty good that day, lol! But look at her! Gorgeous!

lizzyfizzy · #16 08-16-2008, 12:40 PM

awwww, la!!! thats adorable!!

Paula · #17 08-16-2008, 12:51 PM

Aww La!! I can so relate.

mixedclawzz · #18 08-16-2008, 01:47 PM

I totally understand. My baby sis(21) has a boyfriend. They have been together for about 2 years now. Pretty decent guy. Well he broke up with her a couple of months ago (and I totally understand why--u would 2 if you knew my sis) but it broke my heart.

My sis is not normally one to cry but she was crying and freaking out.

I wanted to go beat him down. Needless to say, he came and apologized a couple days later. And so far happily ever after...

aggiefamily · #19 08-16-2008, 02:02 PM

I understand. My baby brother (I have younger bros) just had a kid! He is 27. They got married 2 years ago which was hard enough to deal with.

That'd be my approach, yep. Okay, that'd be what I was thinking, but I'd be all, Hi, look at me being all sweetness and light *mumble*break his heart and I'll crush you like a fly, beyotch*mumblemumble*

It's pretty much impossible to completely stop thinking of them as the babies we want to protect and keep in that bubble forever.
