My big sis.

My darling big sister is in Australia just now.

Last time I saw her was 20th September 2011 when she was saying good-bye to me as I headed off to California.

There were some tears.

She is the best sister a girl could ask for.

I am missing her lots just now.

Thankfully we get to Skype it up.

Today she climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, while I had a Disney duvet day.

Both I think are equally awesome, well maybe her day topped mine a little bit.

But Tarzan, Aladdin and Hercules were pretty good company for this girl too.

Anyway. Sister, I wish that I could watch Pocahontas with you and sing along to it and laugh uncontrollably at how hilarious we are!

But we could watch any movie and I would be happy.

There is nothing quite like time with you.

I miss you more than you know and can't wait til the day that I see you again.

It is going to be one special day.

I love you, and I am so thankful for our friendship.

This photo was taken a year ago at our baby brother's passing out parade.

We had been sitting outside for about an hour, it was so so cold.

It cracks me up everytime I look at it.

I treasure it.

Linking with Emily today. You should too! Go grab someone you love and take a precious photo with them.



Memories.

My brother went back to sea (not even) 2 weeks ago.

I miss him.

We had a lot of fun while he was home, as I have said many times before. 

I spoke to him a couple of days ago and it was soo good to talk to him, and laugh with him.

He is such a blessing. 

I am going to share some photos that I took the day before he left. 

He was not cooperating, as usual.

I look super, duper tired (cause I was!)

But they are fun, and they are still memories. 

...and these are the best that I got! 

One day I am going to get a lovely photo of the two of us! 

Even with all his weird, pretend-to-be-sleeping faces, I sure love him. 

Next week I am going to post photos with my sister, because I love her just as much! 

(She is in Australia this year which makes it pretty difficult to get any new photos with her!)

Linking up with Emily today. 

Weird faces.

At the start of the week I shared that I spent a couple of days with my sweet friend.  

We wrapped up and went out for a lovely walk one afternoon and I took my camera.

I wanted to get some photos of the two of us together because I don't know if we have any. 

Actually I can think of one photo that we have. 

But one photo for 10 years of friendship is bad. 

These photos are the best that I got. 

This girl does NOT like to smile for photos. 

She is nearly always making a face. 

She cracks me up! 

They make me smile. 

And the 2nd photo was not planned. 

We just made the exact same, weird face because we are awesome like that! 

I'm linking up with Emily today. 

Go and check out what she has to say about getting in front of the camera and capturing memories! 

Little brother.

If you have read my previous post you will know that my baby brother is home.

When I say baby, I mean 18 year old.

Not sure when he grew up!

Sorry Fin, but you will always be called baby brother, get used to it.

I wanted to get some photos of us together while he is home.

I will now show you the photos I got.

Try not to laugh.

Now let me explain how difficult it is to take photos with this kid.

All posed and ready for the perfect photo and just before I take it he says something to make me laugh.

Great.

Hello 4 chins and winking action.

When I first saw this I thought it was horrible.

I think it is slowly becoming one of my favourite photos.

I have a feeling that I will look at this when he is miles away from me and really cherish it.

And probably laugh a little bit!

I tried to get another photo...and this is what I got.

Nice face Fin!

It makes me laugh too.

I'm linking up with the lovely Emily today.

You should too.

Have a wee read at why it is so important to take photos with your loved ones.

It doesn't really matter what they look like, they will be treasured.



Sisters.

My sister in on holiday this week.

She is spending a week in Barcelona.

I am sitting inside watching the rain from my window.

Yes, I am a little bit jealous.

But I will get over it.

Until I she comes back and will have a beautiful tan.

I am a little (6ft tall) pale thing, and she has olive skin and tans so easily.

Annnnywho..today I am going to share some fun pictures of my with my sister/best friend.

These were taken a few months ago but I never got round to posting them.

So here you go.

Everyone always tells us how alike we look.

I have to agree.

My sister was approached by a man that she didn't know last week.

She said he was staring at her for a while before he came over to her.

Yeah, she was freaked out!

He said to her "are you Harriet's sister?"

It was a dear friend of mine that I used to work with, who she had never met before.

It made me smile.

So funny.

I don't mind looking like my big sister.

She is pretty wonderful.

When she gets home I am going to grab my camera and get some new photos with my lovely sister - and her tan!

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God

Philippians 1:3

I am linking up with  Emily today - actually today it is Amy!

Go and grab someone you love and get your picture taken with them.

You can never have enough photos with your loves.

And while you are at it, say a little (or BIG) prayer for the lovely Emily.

Praying that this sickness will pass soon.

Boo.

 

I have been thinking about my "boo", Karen, all week.

(there is a really funny story behind "boo", I will share one day!)

Do you ever just really want to be with someone, and you can't?

This is how I feel right now.

I wish I could just bake something yummy and take it round to my friend.

I wish we could watch movies.

Make funny faces.

Laugh uncontrollably, until it hurts.

But I am in Scotland, and she is in California.

Thankfully, I have lots of photos of us together that I can look through.

note: the majority of these photos were taken our Church Beach Camp, hence the matching outfits!

Today I am wishing that I was with my dear friend.

If I was, I would take a photo right now!

but a true friend sticks by you like family."
