Dear Sisters

Dear Sisters,

I'd like to tell you that I've gotten lots of things written up in an organized manner to tell you. But I
don't. I've written about three posts a week in my mind though. Does that count for anything?

Anyway, to my four dear sisters, all of whom seem to live so far away these days, I just wanted to say:

I miss you. I wish you still lived down the road and I had a key to your house and I could pop in anytime. I miss your stomping boots and being able to hear you singing in the basement through the air vents when I'm upstairs. I miss eating cracks and cheese and wicked goods, even though we've both decided that our bodies can't take those anymore. I miss coming over for tea and Scottish scones and talking about life and distressed furniture and husbands. I miss watching Animal Cops every Monday and Wednesday between my 9 & 11 am classes. That dorm room will always be your room in my mind. I miss being able to call you anytime, but I'm so glad for you that you're off having adventures!

Just a few things that have happened lately...
-I actually forgot the name of my blog for about two minutes because I haven't written in months
-Then I wondered why I named it something so long
-I still don't know what I'm going to rename it in two months when it's not our first year anymore
-I have a great job with awesome people, and I'm loving it!
-The first thing I did when I got my cubicle was to decorate it (Caro, I needed your advice!)
-The second thing I did when I got my cubicle was to fill it with snacks (Bobs, I tried to use your brain!)
-I know more about insurance now than I ever thought possible
-I perfected the Reese's cake (sorry Ali, yours didn't look nearly as good as it should have!)
-I tear up pretty much every time I read Emily Freeman's posts at Chatting at the Sky
-I painted a 4' x 4' painting for our dining room

-I turned our coffee table into an ottoman

Before:

After:

-I made little picture things to go in our room

-I "made" a pretty window

-I've been cooking up a storm (here is Corn Fettuccine, Homemade Pizza, and Cinnamon Rolls--

though definitely not in the same meal)

-We're about to begin summer community groups

-We went skiing last weekend

-I still want a dog but we still don't have one

I know life is crazy and always busy, and I know that it's hard to find the time to talk when you're in

different states and continents, but let's chat soon!  :)
