The school year is so busy with both of us working, having kids to run here and there, games to go to on the weekends, etc.
Now here it is, nearly the end of August, and Michelle is already back to work. Our kids are back to school next week.
*sigh*
I miss my sister! I can't wait 'til Gabe's birthday party, just so I can visit with her.
I love my busy life, but I hate that it takes such an effort to make time to be with the ones you love.
How do you all do it? Stay in touch and find a way to see your favorite family members more than on holidays? I'm curious...
(This photo is from our last scrapbooking weekend together two years ago. What fun we had!)
(The song playing brings back memories of cruising through Harrison in Michelle's big green car, windows rolled down, both of us singing at the top of our lungs to "Pour Some Sugar On Me"! Those were some good times.)

Does she live local? My sister and I meet up every other Thursday and either shop or get our toes done, whatever. Even if it is just for a few hours. I have a very flexible schedule and she doesn't have kids so we may have an easier time of it than most. If my husband goes out of town she'll also stay the night with me. Once we watched a whole season of Lost over 2 nights!
You are blessed to have a sister that you long to spend time with.
Time is such a precious thing - isnt it? We dont have enough of it to to spend with the ones we love!
Yes I live local so there is no excuse for this!! I remember that big green car and listening to that song. OMG!! So long story short, I just got back from a test and now I have to take Morgan to the orthodontist, so I gotta run. I have the day off and it will be busier than if I were at work! I will see you next weekend, and maybe I will come by myself and stay longer than 4:00.
My sister lives too far away to visit. I was thinking about getting a webcam to skype with her. Maybe you guys can do that. OR just make a date once a week for dinner.
I wish my sister was close... she's all the way over in Cali... I miss her. A whole bunch.
i miss your sister too!!!
go get her and hang out.
We have a set night weekly that we get together. Every Sunday night, we go to my mom's house and all my sibling are usually there. It is really awesome a great way to connect with those you love.
I do believe that I started reading your blog right around the time you and Michelle went on your big scrapbooking weekend....
And, oh, how I love me some Def Leppard. :-)
I don't have an answer for you in regards to making time for the ones you love (who don't already live in your home). It is hard. Even when they're in the same city.
Just have to cherish each and every moment that is spent together...that much more.
My sister is in Phoenix, 2000 miles away. We only see each other once a year, maybe. It's so hard. Still, I have a hard time keeping up with my local friends. When you figure out how to make it all work, you let us know!
I miss my sis, too.
She only lives 2 hours away... but still.
I love that picture of y'all!
And I'm gonna say what I always say whenever I hear that song...
"Ain't a thing wrong with that tune right there!"
'Cause there's not.
It is so hard to stay connected, but so worth it. I cannot help you with the how to do it...when you figure it out let me know.
You are blessed to be close with your sister. That's kind of like me and my best friend. I wish we lived in the same town so we could spend more time together. She is like my sister.
