This past year for Christmas Theran gave Madsyn and I tickets to Dallas, Texas to visit my sister that lives there for a girls weekend. He set it all up with her and surprised us. We went this past weekend and had a BLAST!!! We ate way too much and shopped 'til we dropped and partied like rock stars. My sister Sonia is the most amazing hostess. She truly makes you feel like she has nothing better to do than to pamper and take care of you. Never mind that she is a full-time FBI agent (can I say that) busy keeping the world safe for all of us in ways we don't even see. She is raising two boys on her own while her husband is in Iraq, again keeping the world safe for us. Then she has he four doggies (babies), church job, and all the other things a mom, wife and woman of the world has to do. Every time I think I am busy, all I have to do is go visit or talk with her and I am amazed at how she juggles her demanding life. In between shopping, eating, movies, pedicures, baking and chatting, Madsyn and I did get to go to Six Flags. We had such a fun time! I haven't been on rides like that ever! I am always with the little ones on the kiddie rides, and they didn't have roller coasters like that when I was growing up. I just about lost it 20 times-seriously. One of the rides went up and dropped us from a height of 25 stories. I kept thinking... "when is this going to stop falling?" In all the pictures from the rides I am screaming with my eyes tight shut. I don't think I ever saw a thing, except for when we took off. But I had so much fun just being one on one with my best girlfriend. I feel so lucky to have such a fun friend for a daughter. I am truly blessed.
Here is a special thank you to my sweet sister Sonia for making it all possible. We love you so much and miss you already. We can't wait for Bear Lake this summer!!
