Most of you know that I am the only girl in my family. I've wanted a sister as long as I can remember. More than anything, I just wanted to do sisterly things, talk, shop, share clothes, & have someone always in my corner. (My brothers are always in my corner but the talking, shopping & clothes sharing is just different) When we were just starting out, career wise, Dale moved our little family to Pahrump, Nevada. I cried after spending a day there and thought that I would never be able to survive. (Google Earth and see what I am talking about)....desolation. Four years later, I cried when I left. To this day, some of my dearest friends & memories are from there. One of those friends is coming to visit this week, to do sisterly things, shop, talk & just hang out. It has been 10 years since we moved from Pahrump..how grateful I am to still have my friend Shanda in my life. She has been like a sister to me, someone I can always turn to (especially when I am annoyed), someone that listens & shares & relates to how I feel about nearly everything. And how grateful I am to, my other best friend, her husband Jeff, for allowing her time to play with me and even still, to my best, best friend Dale who will be taking the kids & the dog on a camping trip so that I can TRULY enjoy her visit. I love you guys.
