So I have one full blood brother, Javed. He, regardless of what his face hairs lead you to believe, is 3.5 years younger than me. He is finally done with high school and walks across the stage this Tuesday.
Man do I feel old.
Until recently, he has been my baby brother (my father remarried about 2 years ago and now I am the oldest of 5 the youngest one being 2 months old). It's just so strange to think about him as a grown up high school grad.
Today was his graduation party. My parents thought that he should have a party and be celebrated because its a big deal graduating from high school.
So of course I drag Anthony along under the pretense of free food.
Maggianos has this big banquet rooms so Mom rented one of those out and invited 50 of their close personal friends that my brother may only have met a handful of times. Ah show off parties.
Parents are allowed to gloat I suppose.
The party was complete with embarassing pics of Javed growing up. Unfortunately that meant there were a lot of embarassing pics of me growing up as well. So many people were astonished to find out that I was older...lol Hope it stays that way. I think eventually I'd love to be the younger sister of the 40 year old fart.
My dad made sure that Anthony met all his friends and paraded us around. Now i love showing off my ring just as much as the next girl, but it seems like the moment you get engaged thats all you do. I hope my new engagement didn't encroach on Javed's big day too much.
Even if it did, at the end of the day he leaves with close to $500 bucks, so Im sure he doesnt mind.
Dont worry sis. Idm if you steal the spotlight from me a little, I dont like the heat of stage lamps much ;).
ReplyDeleteIt was nice having you there.
Now, now... Javed knew MOST of the guests at the party! And his friends and their parents made up about a third of the guest list.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, and I am glad that you got the chance to show off my future son in law. I don't think the attention deflected much off of Javed, who was clearly the man of the hour.
Love you both!

I tried to "follow" this blog, and it made me create a new google account. I did all that, but then when I went to click "follow" I got the message that google couldn't process my request, and I have to try later.
ReplyDeleteThis is how my life is: there are always little details needing to be followed up on later. How do people keep up with all the details in the world??!!
