let me tell you all about an extra special set of siblings i know..
When Paul and i first started dating i knew he came from a pretty big family, which was very scary for me, coming from a fairly small one. i knew he had over six step-siblings, over 40 cousins, 8+ aunts and uncles.. the list goes on and on. I knew his dad was 6'7 and he was incredibly close with his mom. But I also knew there was one person that Paul loves more than anyone else in the world, his sister Chrissy. Even with tons and tons of Wilsons and Ryles waiting for me to meet them, there was only one person I knew i'd really have to pass the test with, and she was the first one i met!
Of course within five minute of meeting Chrissy i understood why Paul cares about her so much. Because she is seriously goofy and funny, ridiculously smart (seriously.. who goes to college for math), can hang with anyone, and always brings the fun.
I know from personal experience how strong the bond between siblings can be, but Paul and Chriss take it to a whole new level. Paul would seriously do anything for Chrissy, anything. It's one of my favorite things about him, and about her. I think coming from such a huge family, going through a divorce as older children, and going off to school together made them exceptionally close. But seriously guys, i don't care if you've donated organs to your siblings, these Wilson kids have you beat.
WHICH is why we were so excited to have Chrissy come visit us on Memorial Day weekend. We celebrated the holiday by drinking, shopping (duh), dog-parking, pool-partying and just hanging out. It was the perfect weekend and I know how happy it made Paul to have his crazy kid sis here for a little while, and we absolutely cannot wait to see her again.

#golfshirt
A little background for all of you- a few years ago when Twitter and Instagram became pretty popular, my brothers and i tried to teach my dad what hash tagging is. After rounds and round of failed explanation he finally got it an proclaimed "HASHTAG GOLFSHIRT!" leaving my brothers and I laughing our butts off.
This kookie dude is one of my favorite people in the world. He just gets me. We have the same weirdo sense of humor and goldfish memory, interest in things (except for Space, which for some reason he loves and I am terrified of) and same sense of reasoning. Unlike my mom who I am used to spending some time away from because of her work (even though i don't like that), I have not been apart from my dad for more than two months.. in my entire life! So this move was a big old shocker for me and him, and definitely a transition! Having my dad and his girlfriend visiting Paul and I was such a treat, and so much fun. It's weird when for all your life you live at your parents house, and then somewhere in life your parents come to visit you. Incredibly strange to host your parents, but fun to show them this new life that we are living.
We showed them all around our favorite haunts, including the dog park, our works, tempe, scottsdale and Chandler. We had a barbecue that our friends were able to come to, played corn hole and just had an amazing time! Having my dad and G here for just a few short days was so great and made my heart very very happy. I love you both so much!
