I don't think I've been this excited since I was proposed to by my fiance.

My baby brother just told me that he put a beautiful engagement ring on layaway for his girlfriend. Some would say that I am to young to think about marriage; my baby brother is 18 and so is his girlfriend, but they have been together for 3 years through thick and thin, and they really love each other. I am not sure I've seen people so in love unconditionally so young for so long. I'm really proud of them.

My brother says he won't marry his girlfriend until she gets out of college (she is in nursing school too), which I agree is a great plan. I don't think it would be as fun to spend your first year married with the stresses of nursing school. I am so excited for them, and I love his girlfriend like she is my own sister. We have such an amazing bond, and I don't think he could have picked a better person to begin a life and family with.
