sorry...

I did not forget my sister's birthday. I just never did her birthday post. I am sorry!  But this is my older sister:

She is what every Mormon (or any woman) woman should aspire to be. No really. She does EVERYTHING.  She does all the domestic stuff, the handyman chores, the wifey/lovey duties, the mama things, she is funny, smart, creative, spiritual, she puts up with me, she knows how to have fun, she blogs, she runs, and she's totally pretty. I have decided that there is no point in me ever trying to become anything in life because her perfection will always just overshadow any good that I accomplish.  And then she would be totally humble about it, it's a no win for me.  But this is about her anyway, so who cares. 

Some of my favorite things about my sister are:

* her smile. (because I can tell if she is being real or not)

*the fact that she does not hug me. (we don't hug, it's weird)

* her hair. (long thick and dark, and grows so fast.)

* her freckles.

* her babies. (they love their mama...and me!)

* her honesty. (as brutal as it may be)

* our prego chats.

* her husband. (he changed her life, he is awesome)

* we both gang up on Hillary (bawhaha)

*her legs. (she has always had long, lean legs...grr)

* she is good at Nintendo.

* her commitment to the Savior and protecting her eternal family.

* her cooking.

* her advice

* she is bad at talking on the phone (runs in the family).

*our love for Target. (esp the $ section)

* she is cool.

There are a bagillion reasons that she drives me crazy and fifty bagillion reasons that I love her. My sisters and I were very very close when we were little, and considering our locations and life situations, I would say that we do pretty well now too. I have always had guy friends, I have never really had any real girlfriends... I didn't need to, I had my sisters!

And this is for Baby that is on it's way. I heard this song on someone else's blog. And I cannot stand Colbie Callait, but this song makes me think of Em and Baby and it was just too tender to not dedicate to her.
