Just wanted to wish my sister a Happy Birthday! She is turning 27 today, and yes the picture above is her.
Here are 27 reasons why I love my sister:
1. She always offers to help me with Griffin even though she doesn't live near me. Just the other day she told me, "I would watch Griffin for a month if I had to"
2. She is a good wife, mother, and housekeeper. Whenever we come to visit her house is always clean and welcoming. There are fresh sheets on my bed, and she even has a special mat for Griffin to sit on while he eats his breakfast and watches Fox and the Hound.
3. She calls me for advice.
4. She always has really yummy and easy recipes for dinner. Her latest and greatest discovery is Taco Chili and it is so yummy!
5. She remembers things from our past that I have no recollection of, but is still fun for me to hear.
6. Sometimes when I get cranky she will just say, "Are you cranky today?" and then she will let me go.
7. She calls me almost every morning just to see what is going on and she is always so chipper!
8. She reminds me of all the good things about life when I am feeling sad.
9. First she will tell me she is not into blogging, and then she will decide she likes it, and then she will change her mind again! It cracks me up.
10. She enjoys watching what I think are really silly movies, and she loves to call and tell me about them. Most of the time she is laughing so hard I can't even understand what she is saying. A couple of her favorites off the top of my head Dumb and Dumber, and Baby Momma.
11. When we go shopping for clothes together she can always find me really cute tops for cheap. And she will stop me from buying what she would deem old lady clothes.
12. I enjoy when she comes to visit and we go to our secret cookie place for some of the yummiest sugar cookies ever made! I only go when she is here, and sometimes with my mom. We save up our change and go through the drive thru, yes it is a drive thru bakery! I think one time we went every day for three days straight and then we were too embarrassed to keep going through and ordering two sugar cookies.
13. She loves to eat fruit and has passed this trait on her to her lovely daughter.
14. She will let you know if she doesn't want to do something but she will do it anyways if she knows you really want to.
15. She is always willing to help others.
16. She is a hard worker and will keep on a project until it is finished.
17. She is always in the know about certain crafting trends. i.e. she was into letters before I knew about them...she also was ahead of the beaded watch band trend and learned how to make them, and she knew about the Cricut way before I did.
18. Lately she's been into learning about parenting. She loves to share her tips with me.
19. She introduces me to new gadgets. Like DVR (still don't have one), the Cricut, cool waffle makers, and wrought iron decor just to name a few.
20. She is friendly and outgoing.
21. She trusts me enough to let me watch her baby. Not many people get to do this so I feel it is a great honor!
22. I know I could call her at any time of the day about anything and she would listen to what I had to say.
23. Sometimes we will just text each other about nothing, but really all that nothing is something quite special.
24. I would consider her to be quite humble. She is happy with everything she has and recognizes the blessing she has been given.
25. She has an ability to "bloom wherever she is planted". She is always finding interesting people and involved in her community. Ever since we were little she's just been out and about in the neighborhood getting to know everyone, finding babysitting jobs, or helping out where she could.
26. She really is a great hair stylist. She gives Griffin the best hair cuts and I hate to take him any where else because they just don't turn out as cute. She is good with all types of hair even though she doesn't think so. I've had lots of fun with her cutting and dying my hair. My favorite time was when she was in styling school and she gave me an A-line cut, which was not easy for her to do because she had only recently started, and she gave me some high lights. I think that was my best hair cut ever, I mean obviously if I still remember it must have been good!
27. Finally, there are many things to love about Heather. She is truly wonderful in so many ways. Everyone should have a sister and a friend like Heather in their lives! I am most grateful that we are sisters. I am sure we were great friends before we came to Earth, and I am sure we chose each other to be sisters.
Happy Birthday Heather, my sister and my best friend!
