the power of prayer

 

I posted a while back that my big sister was moving to Oklahoma from Iowa, and in my mind that meant...one sister down (literally, moving down south)...one sister to go.

Well, I believe in the power of prayer.

I am THRILLED to say that BOTH of my sisters will soon be living in Oklahoma!!  How amazing and exciting is that?? My baby sister's husband got a job in OKC, so that means a move from Arkansas. This also means both of my sisters and their families will be 3 hours (or less!) by car from my front door.

Could I be any more excited? I love hanging out with my sisters. They are so much fun, and now that I have nieces and nephews, that means more little lives that I want to experience and be a part of. I am thinking of them growing up. I am thinking of them growing up with my kids being their friends.

When I grew up, we spent so much time with my cousins, they were almost like sisters. I have a memory of playing (and getting in trouble) with my 3 cousins for every year that I can remember, and our friendships still thrive today.  My cousins are among my dearest friends, and I so want my kids to have friends that are also family members like I have.  I had long since accepted that this would likely not happen for our family because we were so far away from eachother geographically...but now it seems like it may be a reality after all.

I am so looking forward to all the fun family time we will have in the years to come. Love love you, sisters :)

Watch out sist-il*, I've been praying for you to move closer too... :)
