My sister came to visit!

It was a surprise… She’d mentioned coming at some point, but I figured she meant in a few months, once she’d gone home and gotten settled in Pennsylvania and got tired of being out there.

Instead, she came this weekend. She’d planned to come earlier in the week, but crazy car troubles (including a tow truck dropping her car from the truck bed into traffic and almost into a brick wall!) delayed her. I was glad she made it at all with all the drama…

She met us at Dave’s parents’ house on Thursday, just in time for our weekly dinner with the family (usually just us, Dave’s parents, Dave’s brother and his fiancee) and left early this morning. We got to spend time lounging about together on Friday while David worked. (I guess there’s one plus to being out of a job! I took some time off of the job search and trying to figure out unemployment to hang out with Melissa. If I’d had a job, I wouldn’t have had Friday to spend with her.)

When Dave got home, we made dinner, played some Cities and Knights (I won!!), then watched some Monty Python (yes, Melissa, I think it’s a little funny) and a little Scrubs. We had some good chances to chat – it was nice for me to get to catch up with her… I’ve been getting most of my info second-hand through Mom. It’s not that Mom does a bad job of relaying things, it’s just that I like hearing how my sister’s doing from my sister herself.

Anyway, it was a wonderful couple of days, and already I’m looking forward to the next time she comes around. She’s promised to stay for more than a day and a night next time. =)
