I have debated over the last few days whether or not to blog about Kelli and Kass's trip. For two reasons, 1. they have both already talked about it on their blogs, so it seems redundant. 2. I can't help it from having a sad tone, as I am feeling sad now that they're gone. Once or twice, or sometimes three times a year I go through a phase where I really struggle with being so far from my family, especially my sisters. Now is one of those times. I am never more myself than when I'm with them. I never laugh as much as when I'm with them. Being with family really fills my spirit.
So it's hard sometimes when they come up here to visit, fill my life with comfort and laughter, and then fly home. It's a bit of a let down for a few days.
But it WAS so great to have them here. We had a lot of fun. If nothing else, I know they love losing at Settlers to me. And Phase 10 for that matter....

I'm glad you had such a great time with your sisters! Seeing all the pictures (I checked out their blogs too) really made me miss Seattle. I've been thinking a lot about my mission lately. Sometimes my heart aches when I think about it. I miss you guys a lot! I really wish I could come sit on your couch and talk to you guys and maybe even sing a hymn that I'll just end up laughing through. Oh, and eat a yummy dinner too. I'm sorry it's hard for you to be away from your family. I guess you better just come visit and then I could see you too! :)
I know exactly what you mean. There is something about sisters that can't be replaced by anyone. I was glad to hear you all got together. When you come down I'm always afraid that with so many people wanting some of your time, it's hard to really bond with your sisters, and just be. I'm glad you had fun...and don't be sad. They miss you tons, too.
I so wish I was up there. I loved seeing Kyle again, but he works a lot and I don't. I am so bored. Seriously, I thought I'd love all this time to read and knit and whatnot, but I am hating it. Hate hate hating it. I want to steal other people's children just to have something to do. Fly me back!!!
You're probably glad I'm not up there right now, i've been throwing up for 2 days. i don't think i've kept one meal down. I don't recommend throwing up chicken noodle soup. I definately need to update my barf-o-meter.
Do brothers count? We want to come up and visit. I don't think we're going to do the forks thing. We're going to come up separately maybe, and just hang out in seattle and visit folks like yourselves.
yeah and sister in-laws? If it makes you feel any better, we miss you when you leave too. Like Kory said we plan on coming up sometime, I am sure we wont be as fun as Kelli and Kassie...
