Our First Visitors

This has been an exciting week for me. My sister decided to take a break from college and told me last week that she would come stay overnight with me on Tuesday night. I was very excited to see her (and do her laundry of course), and then just a little before she got here, my other sister called and told me that she was on her way too. So one planned and one sporadic visit ended up being a very fun Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. We didn't do anything special - just chilled, watched TV and went to Chinese buffet as per the request of my sister with the tape worm. Then, Wednesday (yesterday) a few of our friends from our old church in I-town came and spent the afternoon here. Besides family, they were some of the first visitors we have had at the new house. I was so thankful that they could come, even though the house is still embarrassingly messy. It was fun to get to see them again, but it was also reassuring that even though I haven't seen either of them since like July, we got together and talked and it felt like we hadn't ever been apart. I guess if I am going to be in M-town, I feel better knowing that I still have my friends from before, even if I don't see them much. I guess didn't lose anything in the move - I just gained the new friends I have made here in M-town and I am now more thankful for the time I get to spend with those friends I maybe don't get to see as often as I'd like.
