Highlights

Despite all the stress we've been under this past week, there have been some great highlights. Here are just a few:

-Waking up at 4:00 in the morning to go to the bathroom and finding my brother awake with a pot of coffee on. Sharing almost 3 hours of conversation and coffee as the sun came up.

-Staying up late with my brother laughing at each other as we sit in front of the computer looking at 3D animations with goofy looking 3D glasses on.

-"Sneaking" out at 1:00 in the morning to go get coffee with my brother, laughing at ourselves as we feel like little kids who are sneaking behind our parents backs. We need help!

-Driving my brothers Chrysler 300 with the windows down and Journey streaming from the radio!

-Being able to have real friends who except me where I am right now and still want to be around me (even if it mean bringing my kids to meet for coffee when I was supposed to be enjoying a girls night out...by myself).

-Knowing that my husband has been opening up more.

-Running into old friend from our old church and catching up. Also finding out that they live close to where we are now.

-Going fishing with my brother and sister.

-Being the only one who caught a fish the entire day of fishing. Wooo-hooo me!!

I'm glad you're getting some fun quality time with your brother. You'll probably look back to this time with good memories and see it to be a sweet experience. Things will look up,you'll see:0)
