My family came to visit Saturday. I was about to say yesterday, but given the times its not actually accurate, haha...
Anyways, we haven't really been all together for a while now, so it was really nice. I think my brother has got even taller and my sister has really been working out. Both of them seem really happy, and I didn't realize how much I missed them until I actually saw them. My cute siblings <3
I think I spent 8-9 hours just hanging out with them, shopping, talking, eating and etc. I think some people find it weird that I'm close to my siblings, but I guess our family situation just has made us even closer over the years. It's easier to talk to my siblings about stuff (unfortunately not my mom so much) then it is to bring things up with friends who aren't as close. Maybe some of it is age, two and three years apart, and my brother and I are particularly close since we've spent so much time together.
I find it really funny, when shopping for some reason I'm the one who has last word on clothes, if I veto something, no one will buy it. At the same time I really don't think I'm the picky one, I hate picking out clothes for myself, but for other people its fun :p Even something as simple as finding the right jean size for my sister is really fun for some reason.
But highlight of my weekend was probably jewelry making. We went to a craft store and bought tools and beads, then sat around fiddling for a while. My sister has great ideas :) I taught her how to use the tools, and how to do some basic stuff with wire before they left, and she's made a bunch of earrings. I managed to make one pair, which I have with me and a single earring that I have to make the mate for once I get home.
I kind of wish that she left the supplies with me, but I have a paper due tomorrow and exams this week. It would be really distracting, and I think my sisters having fun at home.
This makes me feel a bit better since our breaks don't line up. It was great to spend time with everyone, but my room feels large and really quiet without them, even though my stuff is all over the floor.
Just one more week, and I have a lot to look forward to.
