Flashback Friday

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow. ~Author Unknown

Sister Two and Brother-in-Law One are celebrating

their fifteenth wedding anniversary today.

It doesn't hardly seem possible that they've been married for that long,

and yet I can't remember a time when they weren't side by side.

They fit together very well and make a good-looking couple.

Neither one has aged

..... much and they still look fantastic together.

I'm available for niece duty if you guys want to celebrate.

(Hint, hint, hint.) Oh, and happy anniversary.

SisterTwo said...: Thanks Trudy! Keith would tell you it feels more like fifty years, but actually it is 16 years. Yes, I did the math and you are missing a year somewhere. Must the over 40 thing. lol.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think we are going to be doing much. Krista is still sick and hopefully we will get over the flu this weekend.
Just a reminder, Dani's basketball tournament is January 31 in the afternoon.; January 16, 2009 at 9:04 AM

About Trudy

I am the oldest of the trio and I live on a small acreage not too far from my middle sister. I enjoy playing backyard farmer in the summer months when I'm not teaching. I am in a war with weeds and I hate to admit that the weeds are winning.

I've held a variety of jobs, but none so interesting as Sister Three's. I've driven an ice cream truck, sold Christmas tree ornaments, run four elementary media centers, made doughnuts and tacos, and now that I've grown up, I've settled on molding young minds.

I love to read, but I read mostly children's literature. It's fun to go to garage sales and find more children's books to add to my already substantial classroom collection.

I also like to garden. I love to plan trips that I'll never take because I can't stand to be away from home. The planning is the fun part.

I enjoy board games, computer simulations, jigsaw puzzles and logic problems.

I'm now hooked on Facebook, but it has been interesting running across old acquaintances.

I don't watch a lot of television, but I'm hooked on Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. Don't bother even trying to get a hold of me during these times .... unless it is blizzarding and you're calling off school!

I am learning how to quilt which has surprised everyone that knows me. I was probably the least likely person to do so. I love it though. It is the one activity in which I can completely turn off my head and not think about things.

I like to cook (especially green bean casseroles) during the summer months, but I don't seem to make the time during the school year.

I can be reached at Trio.of.sisters@gmail.com. You can also follow me (TrudytheGreat) on Twitter.

About Katie

I'm officially sister number 2 of the bunch.

I'm a 40 something mother of two girls and one boy- Krista, Dani and Trey. I've been married to my farmer husband Keith for 17 plus great years. I'm not sure where the time goes. Even though the girls are getting older, we aren't. Strange how that happens.

We live on a farm and ranch in Western Nebraska. It is a full time job for the family as well. We are always pitching in to help work cattle, weigh trucks or wash tanks. The girls really like scrubbing tanks, especially when it's cold outside. But agriculture is a good way of life.

I work full time in town a 2o mile drive from the ranch. Both girls love to play sports and and are active in our local 4-H program. Our family is a big supporter of our 4H program. That is probally our one (and only) hobby. The girls show lambs and calves for their livestock projects. That takes up much of our time and now a new little brother keeps us busy.

Things I like: cooking, gardening, watching food network, photography (even if I don't have a super cool camera like my little sister) and fiesta ware.

About Nicki

Being the youngest of the trio and co-leader of my own gang, I’m caught between two worlds: the baby I’ve always been and the emerging adult that’s trying to bust out.

Running after a gaggle of toddlers, (ok, there’s only two, but it feels like a herd when we’re loading into our Civic) I’m baffled by how I ended up here. Not the birds and bees part, just the part where I’m supposed to know how to mold two young minds, when I just figured out how to cut my own meat. Actually, I don’t even cut my own meat. I became a vegetarian instead. But I cut my own tofu.

I live in California with my awesome fish-farming husband Andrew and our two amazing and overly-photographed children Isabella (3) and Anderson (1).

Before becoming a stay-at-home mom I tried my hand at a few jobs: music therapist, writer, hot air balloon chaser, waitress, telemarketer, librarian, piano teacher, maid, telegram singer, and underwear salesperson. All handy skills for a mom.

Now, when I’m not daydreaming about running away to Paris, I like going to the beach with the fam or taking pictures. (My Nebraska roots sneak up on me though. I’m always snapping shots of tractors and chickens and green bean casseroles.)

I also like Eckhart Tolle and am secretly obsessed with Harry Potter.
