Sisters

My older sister is coming to town this weekend and the Rosenberger Girls will be united again! We RARELY get a weekend without kids, husbands, parents or boyfriends, so this is a treat. The last time we all got together was for my 30th birthday, almost 2 years ago.



The shenanigans will be kept to a minimum since one of us is expecting (NO! Not me). However, there will be much eating, laughing, shopping and perhaps a few tears...usually from me!



This monumental weekend stirs up a few emotions in me and what better place to put them down than in a blog. My life has had so many ups and downs in the past couple years and the one thing that has remained constant is that every time I turn around, one of my sisters is there waiting to give me the pep talk that I need.



Andrea lives close, and we are very close so it's much easier for me to lean on her. However, being the older sister, Missy has more insight and experience with things Andrea and I only dream about currently. I've been a bit down recently and I'm looking forward to this trip because I know I'll come out of it with a big boost and the wise words of the 2 most courageous women I know...My sisters!



Why courageous? The paths that they have both chosen in life show their strength and courage, make themselves stronger and make everyone around them stronger. Andrea, the Emergency Department nurse who takes more crap than she ever deserves and just keeps on going back for more. Missy, the mom of (almost) 3, who kisses skinned knees and makes sure that her children don't go without having or without experiencing anything. Andrea gets spit on and continues to do her job. Missy struggles with a child with food allergies, yet she uses her creativity and passion to find new and different ways to make the things that all kids love. When I grow up, I hope I can be just like them!



I love you both!
