Today is my little sister’s 21st birthday. I cannot believe that she is already 21. I look back and still see her as a poofy headed 6 year old in a frilly pink dress. I protected you on the bus then. As you got older you looked to me for advice. You came to me first and shared your life with me. When you first started liking boys, I warned you. When you hurt yourself, I held you. You have no idea what that means to a sister, to know that she is revered as I am by you. I always ask God for wisdom and the courage to tell you the truth when you ask for advice. I could never express to you how much your confidence means to me. No matter what we have ever been through together, we have always ended up stronger for it. I am so thankful that God chose me to be your big sister.
Thirteen things I know about my sister:
- She is a fighter. She never gives up without a fight.
- Her goal in life is to succeed at all costs. That’s a survivor’s mentality.
- She is finishing up her Associates with plans already in the works for her Bachelors.
- She only drinks clear sodas if any soda at all.
- She saw me have a nervous breakdown and still wasn’t scared of me.
- When she was 2 she tried to strangle me to death with a telephone cord.
- The more she drives, the better she gets, and the better I feel about it HAHA.
- I have never really heard her yell. She can get pretty loud, though.
- She is the most fun person to scare. I made it my hobby when we were growing up.
- She loves to chow down on some good home cooking.
- She is great with small children. They take to her like a duck to water.
- Once upon a time she didn’t like my husband…but now she does.
- She was once a great track star.
- She is still a fantabulous singer. We used to sing together all the time.
- She will always be 6 years old and in need of protection in my mind…
Here’s to you little sis *clink* CHEERS. Don’t get too tipsy tonight. See you Saturday

Awwww…Happy Birthday to her
My youngest sister (and baby of the family) turned 24 recently and we all still think of her as being this little 5 year old kid that we always protected. In our eyes, she’ll always be “Little Jenn”.
