....for family time. I must say that I am big on spending time with my family anyway I can get it. I have been blessed the past two weekends to get lots of sister time in. Two weekends ago now, I got to run a 5k Race with my SIL, Sarah, it was her first race since her seizure. After the race, we had brunch together and did some retail therapy. When I say retail therapy for most people it would mean going out and purchasing whatever they want not depending on cost however, for me retail therapy is about finding some good deals and we were able to do that. We got nice compression capri's for cheap and free running sleeves.
This past week and weekend I got some extra older sister(HeyHey) time in. I was having a new washer and dryer delivered last Tuesday so I worked from home (one nice perk about my job) and I was able to meet her and my dad for an early run (earlier than normal run time with my travels to work). And then again on Friday, we (my dad, my sister and sil) meet to do a stretch our run before our race. Saturday, was our Monster Dash so my sister, sil and I arrived at the same time and all had a very nice race. Then we went back to my sister's place and got cleaned up and went to have lunch and watch Footloose and did some more window and sale shopping. Our husbands/boyfriend are all hunters so we were "hunter's widow" for the next month or so. I don't have any problems with that since I love get my sisters time.
Also this past weekend, my husband and I traveled with my parents to see my little sister(Scuba); bil and beautiful, silly niece (love that little girl). We traveled to a middle location to have a late lunch and celebrate my mom's birthday again. We got to sit and chat and enjoy the time with my sister, bil and niece. We even is a walk around town and my husband and I walked with my niece between us and would swing her every so often, she even got into counting for us and let us know when she wanted to swing.
Since it was my mom's birthday on Friday, my brother thought it would be a good idea to take some dinner and dessert out to my parent’s house to celebrate my mom. So my brother and sil ordered and picked up the Chinese for dinner and mister and I picked up the ice cream cake.
Looking forward to the upcoming weekend, when my little sister, niece will be down for the weekend so even more family time....YAY!!!! Hopefully we can get a campfire in and we will have another 5k race this weekend tooo.
A sister is a gift from God, sent from above to make life worthwhile here below.
I <3 my sister more than all the swedish fish in the world and to the moon and back. They have been with me through the good, the bad and the ugly. I hope they know that I am there for them just the same they have been for me.
QOTD: Do you take family time anyway you get it?
