SISTER

Tonight, my older sister comes into town. I am so very excited!!! WE just saw each other at Thanksgiving time, but this will be a different time because, we will be saying our goodbyes(or as my husband prefers, SEE YOU LATER). She and her family are leaving in about 6 weeks to serve over in Southeast Asia with her family for about 4 years.
We are both very much looking forward to this time together, it will be fast I am sure, but it will also be very hard at the same time.
Our family friend Stacy(who got married in April) is also coming up for a day or so. WE will have lots of fun, there is for sure gong to be tons of LAUGHING and maybe even some crying.

I now this will be a great time, you know one of those bittersweet times. I will tell you about it once we get done. I will try and remember to take some pictures!! :) If you have had to say good bye to family members for any length of time you know this will be rough. If you think of it, pray for my sister and I as we have fun, but then know the departure will be coming way to soon.

Have a great day. If you have family near and you don't take advantage of talking to them or seeing them very much, take it from a girl who has none of her family around, spend as much time as you can with them, never take a moment for granted and enjoy each moment you have together!! Let the fights and arguments get put aside and be happy you have your family near you!!

Catch you later!!
