Jill's Coming!

My sister is making the ultimate sacrifice and riding to Denver with "the smelly people" as they've been so lovingly dubbed by my family. I will do everything within my power to get them all to shower at my house on the way home - that's the bad part apparently.

I had no idea how much emotion I had tied up in the fact that she still didn't have a way to get out here. It's not as though everything is "solved" now or that I'm feeling suddenly perfect, and yet at the same time knowing I can safely look forward to having her in town for a week has been comforting in a way I can't explain.

Also comforting - warm weather and a lovely night of sangria and porch sitting.
