Happy Birthday!

If you want to imagine for a moment that this photo is not blurry [Mom - it doesn't look like you're paying attention in photography class!] then you would see what's probably my favorite photo of my sister and me. And guess what, it just so happens to be her birthday! This is the only second third time I've ever had to miss her birthday and each time it gets a little more difficult because I know as we get older, we'll probably be spending more and more birthdays apart.

I've always felt like I got the best bargain growing up because I had the privilege of having a brother and a sister. Not only did I have both, but I had the best brother and sister combo. My sister's kind, smart, domestic and beautiful. You know you've truly made her laugh because she'll quietly dab at the her eyes, wiping away those really really good laughter tears. And my gosh, she is one of the most honest women I know. I'm so proud of my big sister and best friend and I hope you are having one terrific day!! Miss you loads and can't wait to see ya soon!

Happy Valentine's Day, too ;)
