I'm an AUNT!!



my little sister had her baby yesterday!! Its a GIRL! her name is Nynaeve Everyn McIntosh (odd, but its definitely growing on me). they live in Seattle, and I can't make it up there until memorial weekend, which is a bummer, but my mom sent a couple pictures with her phone and I can tell she is adorable! this is a big one for our family - Nynaeve is the first grandchild in our immediate family, and the first great-grandchild on my mom's side of the family! anyway, its exciting! I'm so happy about and for my little sister right now. she seems genuinely happy and is doing really well. I miss her a lot, its hard having her so far away. when I first moved back to Utah 2 years ago, we lived together for a while and became pretty close. watching her make huge life decisions during that time was really hard on me and I learned some tough lessons. and now here she is all grown up! sometimes I feel like she is even more grown up than I am! haha! being married and having a kid seems to do that to people... anyway, I'm excited to start spoiling my new niece! I already have a list in my head of what I am going to buy her!!

almost famous

one of my friends that I used to work with out in DC now writes for the Washington Times. and because he is awesome, and knows how awesome I am, he quoted me in an article he wrote yesterday! so, if you want to know a little about how I feel about Bush and the war, check it out here:
