Lessons about "Being in Love" learned from sisters:
1: When together, always take the long way anywhere
2: Never attempt to start a conversation, or continue one with one person while the happy couple are busy gazing into the other's eyes. Useless . . . I've tried. "Um, is anyone there?" :-)
3. Being in love makes the speed limit seem much more reasonable. In fact, several miles below the speed limit seems better.
4. Someone needs to invent a car that allows each one to exit the car without having the heart wrenching task of letting go of the other's hand to do so.
5. Love makes your senses come alive. "Take time to smell the roses" becomes the phrase to live by.
6. Being in love makes sappy jokes hilariously funny.
7. Being in love transforms monotonous household chores into bliss when done with your beloved.
8. Being in love means indescribable happiness
9. Grins that split the face in two pop out constantly.
10. Being in love nutures your sense of humor
11. Being in love causes you to levitate at least two inches off the floor wherever you go or do. Floating here and there . . . joy gives lightness to your feet
12. A girl no longer cheers for Father in arm wrestling, rope climbing, hand standing, etc. Her beloved now has her heart and support.
13. Being in love means relearning how to do ordinary tasks with one hand. Whether driving, cleaning, doing little girl's hair, or turning book pages, it's a happy adjustment.

I think you both have learned alot from your brother and sister. Your observations are quite correct.
love you both,

This post is definitely made in fun . . . knowing full well we'll practice all of these and more when our turn comes, Lord willing. :-)
Love you too Jenny and Kendra!

Hi Parish family, you might not remember me, but I met some of you in St. Louis last fall at the VF Uniting Church and Home conference.
After watching my oldest sister fall in love and get married around a 1 1/2 years ago, I must say your observations are right on! :-)
In addition to point 4, you might add that someone needs to invent a car that drives itself so you can use both your hands to hold hands with your significant other instead of having to drive with one hand. ;-) Oh, and stick shift vehicles don't work very well with hand holding either.
Great post!
Take care,
Benjamin E.
