I can't wipe the smile from my face right now. I love my baby sister Beki! Okay, so maybe she's not really a baby (she's a sophomore in college), but I remember when she was a baby :-) Thinking of her makes me smile. She is one pretty cool girl - I often wish I was more like her. She is so fun and easy-going. She's got the yellow personality, whereas I'm all red with a little blue in the mix. Anyway, we were texting back and forth tonight, and I'm so excited for her to come home next week. We've got some fun plans... hitting Empty Bowls, going to the Boise State game, etc. I am thankful that Beki is my sister. I found this picture on Facebook, and it made me love her even more :-)
That made me realize I never blogged about going to visit Beki and Sunny in Rexburg a few weeks ago! I think I didn't blog because I was bummed that somehow my camera ate my pictures :-( I loved my visit with them. Not only did I take a much needed break from work, but I completely enjoyed eating Thai and cupcakes with Beki and my cousin Katie (who I've only seen a handful of times in my life!), going jean shopping with Beki in Idaho Falls, and chatting and watching Gilmore Girls with Sunny. I also oooohed and awwwwed over Sunny's amazing food storage. She's got this great storage room with shelves and shelves of food, much of which she grew in her garden and then canned herself! I was totally impressed. I'm hoping to spend a week with Sunny learning the ropes of canning.
