The Reason I'm Smiling

Okay here it is:

(I thought she kinda looked like a movie star in this picture :-P)

My lovely sister, Julie, is coming home for the weekend!! (or part of it). She is having some roommate issues, but I'm glad she's coming home! That's 2 weekends in a row that I've gotten to see her. It's been hard having her far away this year. She is my best friend and confidante. Luke is a man of few words, so it gets a little lonely sometimes. So you can imagine how happy I am to see Julie 2 weekends in a row. Wait, make that 3 because she is coming home for Easter weekend too!!

Even though it was a spur of the moment trip home, Mom planned a fun evening for us together. We are going over to her house for Chili (Yum!) and to watch an Anita Renfroe video that my mom borrowed from a friend (while Luke is playing basketball with his friends). I'm sure we will be in stitches...she is hilarious! And I also rented Twilight tonight, so I think we might also watch that. Mom and Julie haven't seen it yet! Let me tell you, it's definitely hard for me to wait until tonight to watch it. I want to pop it into my DVD player right now! But I'll be patient :-) A lot of people who have read the book hated the movie. I read the book AND loved the movie. They are different, but both good. The book was better of course, but the movie was still good.

Anyway, I'm just really excited for some girl time with Mom and Julie again. And I'm excited for the weekend, and for the fact that I have a 4-day week next week. I'm just in a pretty good mood altogether, I guess!

Have a great Friday :-)
