That's the name of my favorite human being. Sure... we shared a womb. sure... we had a secret language as bambinos. Sure... we wore clone clothing until we (ok I) was old enough to tear the matchy clothing from my body. [sidenote: i distinctly remember a family outing as a child in Columbia, SC where i was put into a conductor's over-all get up and was so incensed about it that i did whatever it would take to get out of it. from my carseat. i lost. it stayed on. But i remember it...mom, dad.... can i get an amen?] SURE, we have all that, but theres so much more!
So, you already know she's my favorite but here are some things you may not know:- we live by the saying, "uteros before bros"
- she boldly moved to Chicago alone to pursue a dream (sure, it was months after i moved to Nash to be near her.... details)
- she is a wildly talented hair stylist and i am the luckiest girl ever to have a hair-doin sister
- she would do absolutely anything for the ones she loves. anything.
- if you're sad- she cries. happy? laughs. she's so empathetic. makes life richer, i assure you.
- she can quote every word of White Christmas (with me).
- she buys such thoughtful gifts that you almost treasure the thought most! Just ask me about the brown ruffle jacket.
- she finishes a lot of statements like this, "it makes chad happy" and it isn't obnoxious. its is so lovely... she sure loves that man. with good reason.
- Her degree is in Business and she's very savvy.
- Her laugh... you just have to laugh right back when you hear it. i dare you not to.
- she is so infinitely cooler than me that there isn't room to list all the ways.
Bottom line: tonight i am sitting here at a Bongo Java, moments away from my monthly babysitting gig at City Church, and I am wishing my sister was with me. She makes everything fun. She's coming here in just days! She and Chad are braving Interstate 40 for our Christmas Party and i am SO excited. We share everything, so I thought you should know.
adieu.

proof of some "good stuff" happening in your lives... you both are the sunshine in our lives. sorry, didn't know the scarring which occurred due to the cover-alls. next time we raise you we'll nix the togs which upset.
