Catch Ups and Celebrations - Lindsay Anderson - Bog

"I still cannot believe that you are here, sis!" Tia, my second youngest sister, exclaimed, giving me yet another big hug (I did not mind this one bit. After all, I wanted to take all of the hugs that I can get while I am here.). "It is so great to see you!""It sure is!" Tasha exclaimed, joining in on the hug, "I seriously thought I was going to start crying when I saw you walking down the aisle towards the stage.""I did, too!" I replied, sincerely. "I was feeling such a huge wave of emotion that it wasn't even funny."After the program and school had ended, my family and I had gone to Baskin Robbins to get some ice cream, and bring it home to eat. As we ate our ice cream, and I opened my birthday presents from my family, we talked about the show, and how excited that all of were about me being here in Phoenix until Sunday."So have you thought about what you want to do for your birthday dinner tonight?" Tia asked."She has plans already." Dad smiled, sneaking a glance and wink at me. "Thomas is taking her out tonight."
