Visit from Sweden

It is always fun to have people come and visit, but it is even more fun when they are from out of the country and have never been to Vegas. This weekend/week have have had the chance to spend some time with Hanna (and old foreign exchange student who became part of the family forever) and her husband, Jan, and their little one Julia. It has been tons of fun. We haven't seen them since we were over in Sweden, 5 years ago, for their wedding! Time sure flies.

The big group at BARRY MANILOW!!!

From left to right it is... my sister in law Lisa, my brother Robert, ME, Hanna, Jan, Laura, my Dad and Dan
Their precious little girl Julia who will be 1 in June. She was so cute and fun to have around the house. It is great to see Hanna as a mom too!

As we sat and talked we realized that Hanna was here for the year in 1992 and that means that we have known each other for like 16 years which is over half of my life. That is crazy to think. We had a "rough" year while she was here to say the least. We fought like sisters - or worse, but I love her to death and am glad that we have all remained close and are able to share our lives together and that our families are close as well. She is truly the BIG SISTER that I never had! We had fun this week and will miss them until we are able to see them again.... maybe at her sisters wedding...HINT, HINT LINA AND GARY!!!
