Sisters

I am so greatful that my daughters are such good friends. They really look out for each other and have a good time together.
A couple of months ago my sister moved a mile and a half away from me. I am also glad that me and my sister are such good friends and we too look out for each other. She always has my back. I am also very fortunate to have my sister-law( I hate to use this title, she is my sister) live about 30 min away. We too are great friends, she is someone I feel I could call on no matter what and she is always willing to help no matter how random it maybe. This is Andrea my sister-in-law(titles, ugh). She is a huge example to me of how to support a husband. She is married to Eli's oldest brother, he is serving for the United States Army. Sometimes when Eli is traveling for a week I get down and frustrated and then I think of her, her hubby is gone for years at a time. Andrea and I have a great relationship that never seems to skip a beat even if we don't see each other for more than a couple of weeks a year( if were lucky)I am very excited to be getting two new sisters, both my brother and brother-in-law are getting married very soon:

This is Eli's brother Luke and his fiance Whitney. They are getting married January 2, 2010

This is my brother Trey and his fiance Hope. They are getting married October 29, 2009.


There are very few things in life that are has neat as sisters. As woman in the church we are surrounded by sisters some of whom don't have any sisters or sisters-in laws all they have are the sisters whom they sit by every week. These sisters can be as close and important to us as any other sister we may have. Sometimes we are the only sister they may have. Maybe think about this next time you walk into church and see a sister who maybe needs a simple sister to sister moment.

What a difference a year makes.

This was after the 4th of July parade. Exactly one year after one of our very first family pictures. This was last year:I can not believe what a difference a year makes, it goes by so fast.

I know I know

I have completely given up on my blog. Life got a little crazy and it was always on the bottom of the TO DO list. This is more ironic because I am an amazing blog stalker, and it frustrates me to no end when I go to read a blog and it hasn't been updated. So I vow to catch up on my blog, if not for you for me.
