Za Za Zsu

I have za za zsu on the brain. If you don't know what that is, experience my new addiction (well, new is a lie. This obsession is more like an old friend) Anyways, watch season 5 of Sex and the City, then you will understand. Actually, Sex and the City defined my fall break, or at least, parts of it.

The break was wonderful, as expected. I got to see some people in my life I truly miss, and some people I do not miss quite as much, but still need to see every now and then. I also got to spend more time with my sister than should be allowed. I think its a good idea to say, since it has not yet been said on this blog, how much I love my sister and my siblings in general. God has blessed me with a beautiful set of siblings, and to say that I love to spend time with them is a drastic understatement. I never run out of things to say or grow tired of spending time with them. When I think about the things in my life that are hard, or occurrences and challenges that i do not really understand and cannot make sense of, I remember the things in my life that are important, and the things that have been given to me to help with the struggles that will come my way. I know I have someone to go to when I am down, or when life becomes too hard to deal with. So, the bottom line. When things get hard, I will ALWAYS have something to fall back on, something I can never fully express how grateful I am for. My sister and I took our traditional trip to Charlotte on saturday, and it was fun. We sit in the car together, drink starbucks, and shop without really ever buying anything necessary. You know those things you do just for the pure joy of it, and not for any monetary or tangible gain? For example, when you walk by a pile of fall leaves and simply cannot pass without jumping in and inhaling the sweet and fresh smell, or when driving on the open road, and you cannot help but roll down the leaves and let the wind whip your hair into your face...these are what our trips to Charlotte are. Simply time spent together, simply being together and being OURSELVES in the purest form. Laughing, joking, contemplating life's questions; these are thing things we do together. In case you cannot already tell, this was the highlight of my fall break. I love my sister.
