Does anyone else love the Christmas classic, White Christmas? I do! It is one of my favorites. And when I sat down to blog about my sister, Josie's recent visit the lyrics from the famous duet came to mind. My sister is the best. I can honestly say I've loved her before she was born. When my mom got pregnant I was seriously hoping for a sister. I influenced the choosing of her name, wanting a "J" like mine. And from the beginning I was SO excited to finally have another girl!
On Sunday she came and stayed with us while she was on break and it was great fun. I love getting to spend time with her. Although it takes a little more effort now that I have two girls of my own. Sunday night my husband was a dear and kept the kids so we could go out to eat Mexican. It was so nice to just visit and eat our favorite white cheese dip. Then we headed to Walmart so I could pick up a few things I needed. I had been wanting to paint our upstairs bathroom for about six months. After Josie weighed in I finally choose a color. And we ended up painting the bathroom after nine o'clock. She was a great help (thus the devoted part). After 11 we ended up at Sonic to go get a soda. The next day we also rearranged my living room which I have REALLY been wanting to do but needed some input. It is a challenging layout. And then she went back to Sonic to get us Cherry Limeaides. (I have converted her to the greatness of Sonic drinks & ice!) She joked with my mom that she could only stay one night or I might have her painting the outside of the house.
I had so much fun and am so glad she got to visit. I am so thankful I have such an amazing sister. And I pray for my girls that they will have the same blessing. By the way, I once again forgot to take a before & after of the bathroom. But, it is only part way through the renovation. Jeremy still has to tile the floor. But the paint is a big improvement!!
