My family just got bigger...

mood: lonely, despite title of post. I am home alone for 2 weeks and the strange sounds in the woods at night scare me.
music: My Lives
random word: pinenut


In the past 2 days, I have acquired a step-father, step-sister, step-cousins? and an Uruguayan familia! I don't know which I'm more excited about!

The wedding was beautiful :) I won't go on about it but there were flowers and sunshine and we were barefoot on the beach and the wind was blowing my hair in my mouth as I played the flute at the ceremony and my feet got wet from a big wave and I signed an official document (witness on marriage certificate) and I gave a toast and I didn't know what I was doing and I was so scared I was shaking and people laughed at the beginning beacause I tried to be funny and then at the end I looked up and every person in the room (except my Mom who doesn't count because she doesn't cry unless she's in physical pain) was crying and I hoped that was a good thing but was too petrified to tell and was embarassed because when they handed me a glass of champagne I accidentally drank the whole thing in one gulp. My mom told me it was beautiful and gave me a hug. It was the hardest she's ever squeezed me and I don't think I've ever heard her use the word "beautiful" and so I didn't care that she didn't cry because it might have been the first time in my life that I wasn't left wondering if I'd been good enough for her.
