New Family

It's amazing! I met my sister that I have never met before yesterday! We grew up our entire lives, both only children, not having a sibling. It will be different now! She is absolutely amazing! And her family, well, if she's amazing that tells you what her family is like. I have nephews and cousins I didn't know existed...how sad. In talking with her we have found so many similarities between us - it's awesome! I mean like weird similarities like the way we sit in chairs that we both always got yelled at for, ha! we both have pages and pages of poetry, we both love music and singing from our hearts, sailing and sadly we both had unusual upbringings because of our dad. BUT it is all good now, we each have a new sister :) a relationship that will hopefully never die, never waver but always stand strong. She is sweet, funny, strong (like me-ha!), beautiful, witty, just amazing! She has a super sweet husband who seems very down to earth and just adores her! Her boys, ah her boys, just adorable - it makes me miss my Zachary even more :( can't wait to see him! Her mother is even a sweet, sweet lady! She baked me a bundt cake :) Yummy! My sister cooked me calamari today - wow! Can I live here? Like in her attic or something?

My sister's house sits right on the ocean with a mountain in the background. Soooo beautiful and breathtaking...to wake up to this everyday would be like taking anti anxiety medication naturally :) The balcony is on the 3rd floor and your eyes can see so far!

It's still weird for both of us, just to say "this is my 'sister'". But we both agreed we will get used to it. It's strange how half our lives we will be only children and the other half not. My brains is struggling with this but I love it too! From yesterday I have new family - how weird? But cool!

I look at the stars outside right now and realize all my family and friends back home will be looking at the same stars in 8 hours - it's funny how life works.
