Today was my sister's 39th birthday. She lives about 75 miles from us. We don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like to, due to kids, work and the distance between us. I had tinkered with the idea of driving up to see her since today is her actual birthday. Our morning pretty much sucked around here so I thought "Why not?", packed some lunch for the drive, threw the kids in the van and hit the road. I am so happy that we did. It was one of the best times we have spent together in a long time. We totally surprised everyone. We drove up just as she got home and she saw us and said "Hey" and then looked again. She ran to the van and I couldn't get out fast enough. We hugged and cried together for awhile. It was so wonderful to be together again.
We had a great day, just hanging out. The kids all played together. Her babies are now 15 and 10 (time flies!) so my older niece really takes care of my kids when we gather. It's a nice break for me and my niece loves to be with my kids (I think so anyway!). After some awesome, quality time together, the kids and I headed home about 6. I would have stayed longer but it was dark and most of the drive home is mountainous so off we went.
Happy Birthday Sis!! I promise to make more trips like this. Thanks for a great day!!
