Today is Monday, April 7, 2008. Five days from now I will be a different person because I will be a married woman! Lately, people asked me if I'm nervious or am I ready and it wasn't until last Thursday I realized what I'm going to miss-my family. Right now my sister and her three sons live with me and my parents and for the past year I have watched them grown into little boys. I was there when they started kindergarden, when their first tooth fell out, and when they learned to ride their bikes. What am I going to do? Their only five, six, and eight years old and it's so much more that they are going to experience and I'm not going to be there.
Although I'm not going to be there every moment of their life I guess I should find comfort that I'll be there for the major events in their lives but it's still scary to know that I'm becoming a relative and not something closer. I'm their aunt but I've been more like a second mother because my sister, their mother, and I are really close so for me to miss something in their lives would rip me apart.
Anyway, I should be thankful because in a few years I'll have my own family to share these special events with. Even though this is true, it's still distrubing to know that my nephews will grow up almost without me.

Congratulations on getting married, but just because you are getting married does not mean that your nephews have to grow up without you. Go see them when ever you can and make it appoint to take them to the Phillies games or the zoo. My first nephew was just born and he does not live within walking distance too me but I still find time to play with him. Relax, you will be fine.
congrats on your wedding! i'm sure everything will be great and you will get all your work done - it made be hard but you'll make it happen! i hope your day is everything you hoped for and imagined it would be!
Good luck on getting married. Hope everything turns out awesome and your day is great. I am getting married next May and am looking forward to my big day and have started preparing now. Hope you have a great marriage.
Congrats on getting married. And I agree with Zach, it isn't that you wont be able to see them as much or will participate less in their lives. Now they will get to participate in your life, and meet your kids. Just a bigger family now is all.
Whoa! Congratulations!!!! That is so exciting!! Good luck!!! Don't trip! haha, just kidding, sorry, I couldn't help it.
Congratulations!
