Very exciting news!  This weekend, my brother proposed to his girlfriend Ivy, and she accepted!  I think Ivy is such a great girl and I’m very excited for both my brother and our family.  I’m just so happy for Jack.  I can’t help but feel a sense of pride to see my little brother growing up and taking the next step in his life.

Growing up, I always had a very strong support system.  Without exception, I always felt that I had the full attention and support of my grandparents, parents, and my brother.  As we grow older, I think it’s inevitable that we need to shift priorities a bit.  As I start a family with Mara, and now Jack with Ivy, we may have to spend more time and energy focusing on our own homes.  But I think that we’ll always do a good job keeping up with each other and helping when and where we can.

Congratulations to my little brother and his new fiancee!

I haven’t blogged in several months now and have primarily used Twitter as the medium to express my thoughts.  I, like many who use Twitter, love the service because the 140 character limit allows me to quickly write a thought without feeling obligated to write several paragraphs of thoughts.

I do think that blogging on michaelandmara.com is important because it’s interesting to go back to look at our lives.  But with all the craziness that has happened in the last few months (graduating, moving, starting my new job, and finding a home), I’ve had very little time to do so.  I need to carve out some time consistently to write my thoughts down.
