My sister is in town visiting from Seattle and I thought I should tell you how much I love my family. I am so blessed to have this group of people who understand me, support me, and love me unconditionally. I know so many people who do not have this sort of a good support system or relationship with their family. Plus they just know me really ( Read more... )

There are even presents purchased and wrapped underneath the tree (but no ribbon as the cat thinks it is the best food ever and it hurts her).
