memories
Yesterday as I sat in relief society the tune of the opening hymn started, bringing with it the words to my mind "There is beauty all around, when there's love at home" with this came the urge to giggle and laugh. Odd reaction? Not if you grew up with my sister. Every time we'd start to fight or raise our voices she would chime in with a lovely rendition of this song, she actually still does. It made me think how thankful I am for all he memories I have locked in my cluttered mind, especially ones like this that make me giggle (even if the time is not appropriate). The best part is that not only did it bring my sister to my mind but my brother also which was followed by memories & thoughts of all other family members and friends who spent lots of time at my parents house while we grew up (and still are growing up). My sister rocks, if you didn't know that, she does. Just want to tell her thanks for the memory(s) and remind all of you to let the memories flood your mind, even if you think it's a bad time, you might not remember them next time.

You do have an awesome sister. And I definatly have tons of great memories from times spent at your house. Good times!
Just so you know you almost made me cry!!! Thank you for the memory. I had to smile. I think I have a pretty awesome sister too.
Yep, I have had those moments too, where you are pretty sure everyone else must think you are crazy for giggling at inappropriate times! This post made me remember when I was little and your mom was a "cool" teenager. She used to amaze Jenni and I by doing headstands in the MIDDLE of the floor, not against the wall! She also used to let us sleep in her t-shirts, we loved the turkey one!
