Sister and Best Friend {personal}

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. She was born on all 'nines' and 'ones' [9/19/91], and yesterday she turned twenty on all nines and ones [9/19/11]. There are so many funny memories that we have to look back on.

Valerie and I grew up as best friends. We shared a bed until I was 12 (and believe me, at that point I was SOOoo done sharing a bed with her.). I was the kicker and Valerie was the blanket thief. In other words - Valerie and I go waaayy back.

People used to think that we were twins because we matched.like.no.one's.business. Yes, Valerie and I would wear the same socks, mis-match our earrings, and we often got our hair cut the exact same way. You should've seen our closet! There were doubles in everything! =)

As a little sister – Valerie was my ideal person. I am still running to catch up to her in many many ways. Looking back on our really long friendship gives me warm fuzzy feelings right above my belly button. Happy Birthday Sis!!
