Cory and I loved to fight when we were younger of course......and I am sure that drove my parents quite mad, however, now that we are older, we are best buds! :) I really do love my brother to death...he is a great father and a great husband, and I love watching him with his family. :) We have shared some crazy moments and crazy stories...and when I look back on our memories I can only smile. So I feel very blessed to have grown up with a sibling...and even more blessed that it was him. :)
As you grow up though (even if you thought your household was perfect), I think you still wonder what it would have been like to have had a sibling of the same gender. I am sure Cory wonders what it would have been like to have had a brother to get dirty and silly with. I wonder what it would have been like to have had a sister too. :) Being the selfish kids that I bet we were, I am sure that more than once we both asked our parents to have one more kid to fill that "want". :)
All of that being said...I got SUPER lucky b.c I did get my "sisters" when my brother got married to his wife Jennifer, and when I got married to Chris, and acquired his sister Katie as my "sis" too. :) Even though it was later in life that all happened..I am grateful that I have gotten the chance to have "sisters" to hang out with and do girly things. :) So this is a shout out to Jennifer and Katie for being such awesome sisters...and friends! Thank you both...you have sweetened my life immensely!! :) I love you both lots! :)
My sis Katie... :)
My sis Jennifer..... :)
I do have one other "sister" too... :) I don't want to leave out any love for my best friend of over 20 years...Jennifer. :) She and I grew up together since the 7th grade..and I think she was always like another member of our family, and I loved that! :) We have been together through thick and thin..and all of the adventures that life has brought us from Junior High to present day. What a huge blessing to have a best friend to walk through all of life's precious moments with!! So this is a shout to you too Jenn!!! I love you tons! :)
