odd.

I have to tell myself a few times that this week is over before I start to believe it. It's not that I have done much this week, it's just the rate at which the days started and ended.

My younger sister came back listless after her red eye flight from D.C. today. The trip was mostly paid for by her 'Teenage Republican' group. There was no sightseeing, except to go see the Capitol. The entire week was filled with plenty of meetings to the point where it couldn't even be classified as a trip, she might have been closed in a hotel in this state for that matter.

I saw my cousin tie the knot last week, I had to ignore how strange it was to remember that she's only a few months younger than I am. I wasn't able to see the ceremony because that requires a Mormon temple recommend, which upsets me to think of how many more I may for this reason. It explains why receptions are so big here, there are a few people who can't come to the actual wedding.

Her wedding day was pretty typical of her outlook on life, it has to be overdone and expensive. She jumped on the marriage band wagon shortly after her parents told her if she didn't want to pay for things herself she would have to get married. I wonder if they are really even in love at all, sadly even this would seem less important than the fact that she was wed in a mormon temple to our extended family.
What the hell is marriage anyway.
