...life as a sister...

I know I've said it before and I'll say it again, but I feel SO lucky to have siblings, especially one's I am so close with. The last few months have been crazy with both my recent career change, the opening of El Hefe and just everyday life. I have to say, I have never been more thankful to have my brothers and sister by my side. Recently, my brother Alan broke his arm in a dirt biking accident. Immediately fear and worry came through my mind, and I was quickly comforted by my brother who was feeling similar emotions. Knowing I wasn't alone and had my brother by my side made the experience so much easier.


My siblings and I have been through a lot the last few years, more than most people go through in most of their lives, and to know that we aren't alone in our recent challenges give us, or at least me, a sense of comfort. Everyday I will count my blessings to have them.

...friday night with the fam...

Mikis and I are so lucky to have my brothers and sister live so nearby, which allows frequent visits and fun nights hanging out. Every time we are with my siblings, I think of how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. Now that they are teenagers it is a easier to relate to them more than ever, which makes us closer than ever. Honestly, spending time with them makes me more excited for when Mikis and I are parents ourselves, but for now we take every opportunity to hang with them. Last night was one of the those great nights where we were able to have dinner and spend the rest of the night with the fam.
