My Sister (The One & Only)!

Appropriate title, I think! :) I am sitting here thinking of what to blog. I have pictures to show, but Mark has already gone to bed and...................I have no idea how to post them on my own! Well, technically, I have a "small" idea, but not enough to actually publish them for anyone to see. So..............that will be saved for tomorrow - stay tuned! So............what in the world should I blog about?! I started thinking that I haven't even mentioned my sister in my blog all of this time! Truthfully, she probably likes it that way! But what are sisters for??!! That is right! I am gonna have to mention her at least once for my blog to be, well, "my blog!" My sister is five years younger than me and she is the "only" sister I have! Although we are very different in many ways, I think we are also very alike in others! I feel very lucky to have a sister! My brother said he always wished he had a brother. I think it is nice to have a sibling that is the same gender! It certainly was nice "picking" on her all of those years many moons ago! LOL!!!! I have lots of stories to tell where that is concerned! Here is a small excerpt for ya: whenever I wanted or needed something and didn't want to go and get it myself - I would tell my sister (and brother, too) to come and play a game with me. I would tell them that I wanted to see how fast they could go and get (whatever I wanted at the time) for me! I would "count" and see how fast they could go! I tell ya....................it worked every time and I must admit.................I still use this little "game" on my kids (any kids actually) as well! LOLOLOL!!!!!!! Anyway, what exactly is a sister is for! The first thing that comes to mind is this: no matter how many times you fight or argue - a sister is always there!!!!!! A sister remembers the things from your childhood (the good and the bad) and you can laugh about them now! :) You can talk to your sister about all the things your parents did right.........and wrong! LOL! When you have a sister, you simply know that one more person in your life loves you ----- for you! :)
I have to say two things in honor of my sister! :) First, it will be her birthday on Tuesday, the 13th, so.......................HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HEIDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And second, I hope she knows how truly proud I am of her!!!!!!!! She just got her masters degree this past year! HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!!! And she is a fantastic teacher!!!!!! She doesn't get enought credit for all the good things she does!!!!!
Have a great b-day, Heidi!!!!! Love ya lots!!!!!!! :)
