Today I received my very first official wedding invitation. I know a few people my age who are married and/or have a kid, and even more who are engaged. But this is my first official wedding invitation. The kids are Mormon, so it doesn't quite count (marrying young is, in pretty much every way, encouraged) - but all the same, it's just so ( Read more... )

My mom showed up for Festive Family Fun in the Keys, and now it's just a big, awkward, angry, depressing mess. I am really not in the holiday spirit, despite my best efforts to just remain positive. I'm not having much luck.
