I mentioned before that my brother Adam and his girlfriend Emily were having a baby. I knit the DinoSweater for Nolan, who is due in June.

Well they decided last week to get married today! So I’m jetting off to Michigan to be there. And by jetting I mean renting a car and driving.

While I’m on the topic of relationships, PT is moving to New York City at the end of the month for work, which spells disaster for our relationship.

If someone told me a year ago that I would be sitting here writing a blog about how PT and I broke up and my brother is getting married/having a child, I would have lost my shit. I really hope that I can look back at this a year from now much happier than I am at this moment.

I keep thinking about the story that Ethan Hawk tells in Before Sunset or Before Sunrise, one of them, about the happy people who win the lottery or are paralyzed. After that initial shock they go back to being happy people; either happy in a wheel chair or happy with millions of dollars. And angry people who win the lottery or are paralyzed go back to being angry once they get over the change, too.

I know I’m a happy person. I’m a happy person who has just been getting kicked in the face a lot lately.

I’m rolling with it pretty well, I think, since that is the only option. I’m going to put on a pretty dress and watch my brother get married and drive back to Chicago and teach some knitting Sunday morning. And then that would have happened.

I can’t wait for baseball season to start.
