Sisters

I just had a wonderful day with my best friends...my sisters.

The day started out pretty rough...Whiskey figured out how to open her crate from the inside.  I got some really bad news.  My spirits were low, but I had my day with my sisters to look forward to.  This day had been a long time coming.  Between work schedules, illnesses, prior obligations, and job interviews, it felt like my sisters and I would never have a chance to be together.  Finally, the day was here.

After we got some previous obligations and appointments out of the way, my wonderful husband took us to South Park Mall in Charlotte.  We walked, talked, and shopped, just enjoying each other's company.  We went out to dinner afterwards at Maggiano's.  It was delicious.  My wonderful husband then came and picked us up to take us home.

Once we were home, we all sat and talked for a good three hours.  I got caught up on all kinds of news and just enjoyed being in the company of the people I love.  As we were chatting and reminiscing about the "good old days," we mentioned playing an old game called Clyde's Adventure.  Eventually, it got pretty late and my sisters had to go home.  After they left, my husband got to work downloading a copy of the game and getting it to run in DOSBox, an emulator.  It was a very pleasant surprise, and it brought back so many wonderful memories.  I am so spoiled and loved.

Overall, it was a good day.  It was wonderful to see my sisters and reconnect.  And now, here I sit with my wonderful husband on the couch, watching an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.  The rough beginning of the day is still troubling, but the end of the day is giving me strength to try again tomorrow.

Thank God for sisters and husbands.
