Why must good things end?

For the past three weeks I have been really getting to know Tim's brother and family from Florida. Pretty much everyday has been something....whether its dinner at the in-laws, dinner out, a day trip, or a week away--we have spent so much time together since they got here. The past few days have been bitter sweet because as great as it has been to eat out, go bowling, eat ice cream, and have poop talks, it is all coming to end. Tonight was great and horrible all at the same time. Seventeen people crammed into my in-laws less than large home for an amazing spaghetti dinner. I am guessing in a way it was the perfect send off. My sister-in-law and nephew are flying out bright and early tomorrow morning....saying goodbye to my sister in law royally sucked (there is no other word to describe it). Tears were flowing every where....and the ride home was not any different. I feel like I was really able to grow close to them, especially my sister in law. When the whole fam was out here for the wedding I did not get the chance to really get to know them or even have conversation that did not revolve around wedding plans. But the past three weeks have been so awesome. It is great to be part of a family that is so close. And now....the countdown to Christmas.
The highlight of today had to be spending time with my "local" sister in law and our niece from Florida. We had a girly day of shopping and getting our nails done....complete with a tiara. That little five year is a hearty shopper and will one day have a closet and shoe collection that will put me to shame. It was an aweseome time.
