As I was doing some packing today I found this picture from Wendy's (my sister's) wedding, 4 years ago this last July.Since she has moved to Oregon I don't get to see her and my nieces nearly enough and most of the time I pass through my days fondly thinking of them but not really thinking about how much I miss them.
Wendy and I are truly opposites, we are 11 years apart and have not always gotten along, but seeing this picture today caught me off guard. I really miss her being around. I have always had my mom and sister around me, we never lived more than a mile apart when they lived here and we all worked together. Going from a daily interaction to every few months is very hard on me. As with everything else I can't control I usually put it out of my mind, until it hits me in the face as this picture did today. We both look very cute and there are few pictures I have ever seen with just the two of us together.
As I said I usually don't think about how much I miss my family, but I want them to know, and especially my sister today, that I do miss them and think everyday about the next time I will be able to hug them and talk to them in person.

What a sweet post. You guys look great. I hope the packing and moving stuff is going well.
aww that was sweet... it made me tear up.
Yep, you and Wendy are like Fire and Ice, Night and Day, laid back and energy plus...clean freak and messy messy...but in a lot of ways you are much alike...
Wanting to make a difference in someone less fortunates life,
Leaders,
Good Parents with Great kids...
very intelligent
great with people
good hearts
good businesswomen
did I say VER VERY SMART?
Loyal to family and friends
Community minded, and give back to your communities...
good sense of humors...
...and so much more. So, as your Mom...I think you are more 'alike'
than 'different' where it really counts, and that is in your 'character'.
I miss you all down there much like you miss us up here...it is hard to see someone every single day of their lives practically...and then not see them for months at a time.
That's the ONLY THING I don't like about being in Oregon...too many of my kids and grandkids aren't here!
I'm counting the days now with you until Baby 'who?" is here...and I can see you all again!
Hugs and Love, Mom
Wow, Where is my sister and what have you done to her? Ha-ha. That was very sweet, I find myself doing the same thing, especially when I hear Rebas song "My Sister". I am usually teary eyed by the first line in the song or atleast when it says "tell the boys I love them" I miss all of my nephews too, even the one in the tummy. I will be in Visalia for two weeks though in November! Yipee! (maybe Emily too) Love You!
Wendy (the big sister
