Love you Angie and John

October 17th 2009 was a big day. Scarlett turned 3 months old. Happy little bundle of giggles and coos. She's just what babies should be. She's happiness all rolled into joy, with a little bit of perfection.

On the same day, my brother got married. He married the best lady I know. Someone that I considered my sister-in-law long before there was a ring or marriage. The ceremony was private, but I have the bouquet in my hospital room. John and Angie stopped by after to say hi, all dressed up, to say hi. I was very emotional. They're the coolest people I know. Do things their own way. Plus, with all that's going on with me, Angie is too much of a lady to make anything about her these days. Well, when I'm well, one day, I will make sure to get her back....I am throwing that girl a party for something, SOMETHING one day....mark my words!

Anyhow, congratulations John. You are the best brother and friend any girl could ask for. But I don't have to tell you that. We know what we mean to each other. Angie, I could not imagine a better woman to make a man of my brother...haha! What I meant is I could not imagine a better woman, period! I can't wait for us to get to know each other when I am well. I have always been sick during the that you have been around, and your support (without even knowing me) had been incredible. Soon, your little one will arrive, and my niece will have a great mom and dad. This will be such a special moment. I cannot wait. I also cannot wait for the girls to grow up together, as they will. How lucky are we to have that?!

The toast that I would make at your wedding if there was a wedding-wedding, and if I was not on large amounts of Percasettes and Avitans:

John and Angie, I love you both. Today as you became man and wife

you reminded me about how wonderful marriage can be (I glance over

at Martin who has already had too many...love you Marty) and how

excited I am about the years that we will have ahead watching our

girls grow up. Angie, welcome to the family. I love you both so much.

(I would have a hard time getting through this without balling)

For those of you interested in the brother of a CFer angle, John has just started his own blog. I love it. I am sure it will be about lots of things, and knowing John it will offend many many people. I'm kidding. But John does tend to have some controversial points of view. I am sure he will entertain.
