Sissy Time

This weekend I am very excited for. Although my husband is going hunting (I don't like when he's gone) my mom and sister will be coming over to spend the weekend with Remi and I. This means I get sissy time!  My little sister Jodell is my sunshine. She has always had a very special place in my heart.  

Back when she was young and I use to babysit her in the Summer. We developed a very strong bond. Funny fact: I use to sneak Sean over during the days and I would have Jodell Pinky Promise me that she wouldn't tell (horrible I know). She started callling me Pinky Promise and ever since it has stuck. I even got the word "Promise" tattoed on my ankle for her.

When I moved out, it was very hard. I loved living with my family, and being able to see them everyday. In fact now I see I took it for granted and really miss them, especially Jodell.

Right after we moved, Jodell sent this picture message to me. Whenever I am missing her, I read this message. SO P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S.

She is such a fun, loving, strong, beautiful person...and growing up so quickly

I cannot wait to spend the whole weekend with my little sissy. I love her so dearly. Pinky Promise Forever!

Thankful on a Thursday!

Finally it is Thursday...I feel like this week has been taking forever! I am SO ready for the weekend to come! Today is my sister's friends funeral, please keep this family, her friends, and especially her fiancée in your prayers today. I can't even imagine the pain they are feeling! This story has made me feel so blessed this week, and has shown me how important it is to NEVER take anything for granted! Here is my list of blessings this week!

46. Sean's Graduation! Tonight my sweetheart has his college graduation ceremony! I know I have said this many times before, but I am so SO proud of him!! I will post pics tomorrow!

47. My sweet sissy! Today my little sister Jodell got to stay home from school, and is spending the day with me! Life has been so busy, and I am very thankful that I have today to spend with her!

48. Love Letters! Whether it is through a text, a voice mail, the traditional "love letter" or in person, words that express your love and care for someone are so special to me. Sean sent me one of the sweetest texts the other day that completely made my day. 

49. 9 days until Christmas! Need I say more? I CAN'T wait to see my family!

50. God! I am so thankful for all of God's blessings. My health, my education, my job, my family, my friends...all so special and important to me. 

What are you thankful for on this week before Christmas?
