Yes, I know, it has been almost 3 months since my last post. Well, for awhile I didn't have a computer, then for some reason I got really busy..hm...more on that with the next post. MEANWHILE....I have some important unfinished bizzzzzness. It is time for a post on...*drumroll please*.... My big sister CHARIS!!!! Ta-da! Charis was born 18 months before me, and I must admit, I'm sure it was the happiest day of her life when our mother brought me home! Our childhood basically went like this: Charis did it first, I screamed, whined, and begged until I got to do the exact same thing. After all, as nature would have it, everything the older sister does is incredibly cool and amazing! Who would want to be left out of that?!

One morning Mom was passing out our daily Flintstones vitamins and she also handed me Charis' to go give to her. Thing was, Charis got Dino and I only got Pebbles. If Charis was getting Dino, then surely it was bound to be better than my Pebbles, and that's just not fair. Only thing left to do? Taste them both and see which was better. Fortunately for Charis, I recalled that the resident Mother-force might not be very happy with me if I ate them both, so after the taste test, I reluctantly went and handed Dino over to Charis.

"EEeeeewwww! It's all WET!! Mommmmm!"

Uh-oh, it looked like the Mother-force was going to get involved anyway. When confronted with my deed and an explanation demanded of me, I tried to get them to see the positive here. I mean, it's not like I ate it or anything.

"Ummmm, well,.... I only tasted it!"

Sometimes Mother-forces do things that are strange and unexplainable. In this case, our Mother...laughed. Why? Well, I think only a Mother would know, but I will say it was much to my relief. No one can get in too much trouble when the sentencer is smirking and smiling, right?

When Charis married Phil, I knew that suddenly, it was a new best day of her life. ***sigh*** too bad. Ah well, life moves on and I have to say, Phil is an INCREDIBLE edition to our family. He and Charis go together like,.....like...Abbott & Costello, coffee and cream, Pam & Jim, Guitar Hero & Phil, (whoops, did I say that?) I mean just look at that crazy curly dark hair! How could you not love a guy with hair like that? (tee hee.) Anyway, He and Charis are AMAZING to be with and if you ever get the chance to hang with them, you totally should. Best of all, they are also a brother and sister in Christ and it is so great to be able to share that bond with them. I know God is going to do great things with those two! I miss them being so far away in CA, and I can't wait to see them again! I love you, Charis & Phil! See you in a few months!
