Family matters

Thought I'd share some family pics with y'all. Here's me with my sister, my mom and my dad:



Here's me with my lil' sis, Beth:



And here's Beth with her boyfriend Brian:



Beth and Brian both work for Lockheed Martin as accountants. My sister is one of the number-crunchers for their missile firing program -- she gets to count nickels for the Patriot Missile. How cool is that? I'm glad that one of us is good at math... I'm a dismal failure at such things. She's also the polar opposite of me in many ways -- she's very sweet, responsible, deferential and angelic... the perfect daughter. Notice in the family pic: who's wearing white, and who's wearing black? Just sayin'. Even though we're not much alike, we're very close and love to spend time together. She's just precious. Those curls? Natural. [sigh]

What do I think of Brian? I like him, so far. He seems to genuinely care about my sister, which is more than I can say for the schmuck I chased away last year... okay, I'm a little protective of my sister. Brian's very quiet and very spiritual, from what I can gather. I think they make a very sweet couple. This trip was the first time I've met him face to face, although Beth and I have talked about him quite a bit on the telephone.

The trip to Texas/Oklahoma was rather whirlwind in nature, but it was fun. I wish I hadn't had so much schoolwork to think about and get done, so I could've relaxed a little more. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to relax until sometime in 2007 (when my master's degree program will be finished).
