Quality Time with the family

This past weekend at my parents’ house was awesome. Both Karen and Cindy were there, and I really enjoyed their company. We all played Rummikub and Scattergories and also got some scrapbooking in. I am so glad I made the trip. I have been wanting to get in some quality time with my sisters for awhile now. They have grown up so much. One thing I regret is that I was absent during some of their growing up years while I was 8 hours away at college. I feel like I missed out on getting to know them during that time. And now they are mature adults.

When I was a teenager, they used to always want to tag along with with me when I had friends over. Being that they were 5 and 8 years young then I was, I greatly frowned on this and hated it when mom made me include them. Now I am sad that I was so careless. It was I that missed out. I think it is typical of older siblings though, at least to some degree. But now that we are all grown up, I am excited to see them and enjoy hanging out with them. I guess that is why this weekend was extra important to me.
