my {sister}...

she is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.

she is your witness,

who sees you at your worst and best,

and loves you anyway.

(with mom, elko, nevada september 2008)

she is your partner in crime,

your midnight companion,

someone who knows when you are smiling,

even in the dark.

(redding, california, july 2010)

She is your teacher,

your defense attorney,

your personal press agent,

and even your shrink.

(her and my monkey, june 2009)

Some days,

she's the reason you wish you were an only child.

(elko, nevada september 2008)

sisters are probably the most competitive relationship within the family,

but once sisters are grown,

it becomes the strongest relationship.

(elko museum, september 2008)

a sister is a little bit of childhood

that can never be lost.

(redding, california, july 2010)

after a few of these....

(our 4th of july glasses)

we rock this routine like nobody's business.

To have a loving relationship with a sister

is not simply to have a buddy or a confident;

it is to have a soul mate for life.

for without my sister,

i don't make sense.

happy 25th birthday

baby sister!
