Take a good look at this picture. You see four people, right? Four incredibly bonded siblings who would sacrifice anything just to have moments like this again. Siblings who have so much shared history that it is hard to think of one memory that doesn't include one of us in it. But times have changed...in a good way. Every time we are together, we bring up memories, jokes, stories, and pictures from the past. Yet this reunion was different. There was a divinely sweet blend of both the cherished past and anticipated future mixed together. Take a look at the next picture.
That family is growing. Yep, it's true. With a new brother already in the mix and a sister just waiting to join us (next summer by the way), we are eagerly anticipating the new memories that will be made. While our reunions are no longer after a semester of classes, but at the end of 2 year contracts, we will cling to the joy of what we have together. A bond that is lasting.
