Counting Down

So I'm counting down the days until I depart, and I know that's all I can really blog about because that's all I can think about. Yesterday the family and I were able to spend most of the day together, which is pretty rare around here.
The Parents took the three of us up north to some of The Dad's favorite stores where I picked out my first handgun, don't worry I'm going to go to the classes, and picked up some supplies for next month. (Mini-fridge!) We also took a trip to the lake where us girls swam around and the Parents caught up on some breathing time.
It makes me realize how fortunate I am to have the family I do. I have three sisters, and although we may fight sometimes and leave the occassional bruise, we all love each other. The Parents may bug us about non-sense they know nothing about, or so we think, but we know they have probably done worse. It's good to know we've been raised right. Especially when I see my classmates going to jail, doing drugs and worse, it's refreshing to know we are not going to be a part of that.
At work tonight, (My sister works there now too), there was an individual who came in and thanked our manager for the great service they recieved from my sister's attitude. That was a shocker. It's good to know she's learning from the best. :)
Well that's my ramble for tonight. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the ones who love you, because they really are not as bad as they could be. :)
