Some of you may or may not know that I have a sister.
We're 11 months apart...weird...I know.
She's a blue eyed brunette who somehow ended up in the state of Ohio.
Yes-I'm talking about this girl...again:
We may not be sisters by blood but if there was ever a person who was identical to me in 9,999 ways, it's her. Someone who can literally finish my sentences and complete my thoughts. Yes...it's as weird as it sounds.
Her and her husby's fam could really use some love and support this mornin'...

I'm supposed to be picking her and her husband, Billy, up from the airport this morning for a fun-filled 4th of July weekend at the river. A weekend that I've looked forward to since the last time I saw them. A trip to the South that was LONG overdue for them. A SURPRISE she had been planning for me for weeks on end...but, well, I'm sad to say I am not.
And my heart just hurts knowing that I won't be showing up at baggage claim with a mustache on as we await for their arrival.
It's completely out of any of our control...
Billy's grandpa isn't doing so well so before you read another word, please say a little prayer for him and his family. Their flights were booked. Their bags were packed. But they just aren't sure how much longer Grandpa Krysh is going to be with them so as any level-headed person would do, they decided to stay home and spend quality time with the fam and I could not agree more. I mean, there's no way in Jimminy Cricket that two goons from Texas are more important than their family right now and I respect that.
Katie Lou-I know you're sad...and maybe a little pissed that you aren't getting to experience Texas humidity & frizzy hair, but darn it I know you have those airline vouchers and you WILL get your Midwestern butt here as soon as you can. Your Corona Light's will remain in the fridge until you get to Texas but in the meantime, just know that I completely, 100% respect your decision to stay in the O-H. Kristen, Shalyn, the rest of the gang and I promise to have the most miserable time ever without y'all. ;) Love ya doll. Thinking and praying for you and Billy during this difficult time. xoxo

As for the rest of you ladies (and gentlemen?) , I hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July! We're off to the Frio River to soak up some sun, partake in a few too many adult bevvies and be downright American. Eff ya!
