Vegas

I went to Vegas with my sisters a couple of weeks ago and I was stuck by two things. 1) How much we have all changed in the last few years. I was confused when we all decided to go to Vegas because it is not really like Kim or Kati to want to drink or party or gamble. But I had resolved that a week by the pool was exaclty what we all needed. We slept and laid by the pool all week, ate some fabulous meals and made some memories I will keep with me forever. I noticed how my priorities and desires and even what I value has changed so much in the last few years. I like the changes in me. : ) 2) How amazing my sisters are. I love spending time with my sisters. Something that really struck me on our trip was how incredibly different we are. We have different dreams, thoughts, personalities and even accents. I love that my parents raised us to really just be who we are and I absolutely adore who my sisters are. Kim is kind, generous, caring and so nurturing. She saved and planned just to bless Kati and I for our accomplishment of gradtuating college. I love you for that Kim. And I love the person you are: a faithful woman who loves God , her husband and her family. And I love my little sister. I always say I raised her myself but she is so unique. She loves adventure, love and always looks for the beauty in life. She is hardworking and brilliant. (really. almost to the point of annoying :) But what I love most about my sisters is that we will always be there for each other. We can always appreciate each other for who they are. I love that my dad taught us that friends will come and go but your sisters will always be there. He was right. They are truly a blessing in my life.

Update

So I finished my B/A. I made it through my commencement ceremony. I spent the most wonderful week with my sisters in Vegas. And finally, I have started a new job. I was blessed with a paralegal position at a law firm downtown. I have a 10 minute bus commute to the office which is amazing (especially since they gave me a bus pass) and a beautiful view at my office (well more like cubicle but I like it). I have been working alot of hours but so happy to be doing what I love again and not having to get up at 4 am. Things are definitely looking up. No complaints. : )
