Showing off my sister today was so much fun. My mother, Krista, and I went to lunch at Fuentes. Great food! Then we went to the bank to start up a savings account for her here in the states. They went inside around 2:17 and I fell asleep in the backseat of the car. When I woke up it was 3:11 and about 5 minutes later, they showed up. One hour in a hot car in the middle of the afternoon, what was I thinking? We went to Goodwill after that, no luck finding anything for me. I took my sister first to her friend Marcie's house and got to visit that family. I haven't seen her in 3 years and now she has two little boys (the younger of the two kept molesting me, spanking my butt as much as possible) She's only 21! After Marcie's I was really depressed, but nothing could prepare me for what was next. I then took Krista to her best friend Kristy's house. I haven't seen her in 3 years either. Turns out she has a little boy, a little girl, and is having a c-section tomorrow morning for her second boy. Her sister (16) is 4 months pregnant and smoking cigarrettes on the porch. Her brother is in jail, and her younger sister (14) is doing ok so far. They all live with their grandma in a small 3 bedroom house. That just really depressed me... and my sister. These guys used to be her best friends and if she would've stayed here, she would've turned out just like them. It was just horrible to witness, I really feel sorry for the new baby(s) on the way. A few hours later, I took her to the Lighthouse. We played Yahtzi and I kicked her butt. I'm very skilled at that game, Josh, some of us have it and some of us don't. She got to meet almost everyone, and had a really cool conversation with Lauren. She even got to talk a little Japanese to Justin and Nathan. We then did what all of us have done when we get bored at the LH... we went to Hastings. Much fun, she bought a ton of new cd's, including Flogging Molly a new interest of mine. On the way home she and I talked about her exboyfriend and how that long distance relationship failed. She commented on how Josh and I look like we're doing great (that's because we are) Her's didn't work because he didn't really have the committment. I feel blessed that I'm not in that position. It was hard for her. I've never really connected with my sister as much as I have in these few days. The last few years she was here was kind of hectic because of the baby and all. This has been great... too bad she leaves Thursday.
