I love her.

Sometimes there are those people who you call family, and they're just that, family, but not exactly the person you'd want to spend your Friday night with. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I'd spend any day with her.  I am constantly reminded how rare it is to have a family that you not only love, but also love to spend time with.

Here are a few reasons I am thankful for and admire my favorite sister...

1.) She brought her 9month pregnant self up to Tacoma to help me move and reorganize my whole house. (And might I just add she was a BEAST!)
2.) She just busted out a baby sans pain meds. (And looks hella good too!)
3.) She is one of the best moms I have ever known.
4.) She has more patience than I will ever dream of having.
5.) She loves her family with a selfless conviction.
6.) She can single-handedly - in the same 60 seconds - make me laugh hysterically and tick me off more than any person in the world.
7.) She is the only person I know who will cry with me just for crying and continue to chew her ice cream through the whole thing.
8.) She taught me that one of the greatest things in life is a good bowl of ice cream.
9.) This list could go on forever...

I've spent my life having the greatest role-model any little sister could ever ask for. Jules, you amaze me every day and I am so blessed to call you my sister, but even more to call you my best friend.

I love you!
