A Long Awaited Visit

My younger sister, Mindy, told me just last week that she and her entire family are planning on coming down here for Halloween since they found a killer deal on airline tickets for all of them. I am so excited to see her as it has been over a year now that I last saw her. I haven't seen my b-i-l and her 3 older kids since last July 4th. I saw Mindy and Mylie last August when my niece got baptized. Since then, nothing! We talk on the phone weekly, sometimes daily, but it's just not the same. She hasn't met Howie and I need to see Mylie again. I can hardly wait for Halloween to roll around. I promise we'll get back up to Idaho next year - this year was complicated with the arrival of Howie. A year's hiatus and we'll be back. Until then, Halloween this year will be highly anticipated.
