Today is my sister's 30th birthday and by that I mean she's turning 27 (your fault sis - you encouraged it). It's crazy to rewind a few years and think of how much we used to fight and I mean fight (full out brawl). When Jess was in High School, woah was that a scary time in our house. When we were younger we actually shared a room (who would have thought), then our parents split us up but only a wall was separating us. A wall that was regularly hit to agitated the other side :). Even though we went through some serious years of full out war, if you didn't know you would have never guessed. Now we are closer than I would have ever thought and I love every minute of it.

Sister-
Thanks for being you. Thanks for letting me steal your clothes. Even though you hated every minute of it, it was only because I wanted to look just like you. Thanks for holding me when we lost Kayla. Sister thanks for those times I will never forget. Thanks for driving acrossed the state just to see me play in the State games. I will never forget when you surprised me for graduation and how swollen my heart was to see you there through it all. I will never lose the memory of teaching you to snowboard. I will never forget how proud I was to see you on stage (even if I tried to hide it). Sister thanks for calling me when you knew I needed to hear your voice. Sister thanks for being my person, the first call I made when I heard about Grandma. Thanks for crying with me, for laughing with me and being my rock. Sister I love you and there is no amount of words that describe my love and appreciation. Have an amazing birthday and enjoy your day with Goob and Bug.
