DOWN WITH THAT: 30 WHAT???

Today is my sister Joys birthday! She lives in California. Even though it really isn't that far away, it feels like a million miles away! I really wish you were here to celebrate with us! I know you always say you wish you were a twin, so for your birthday I will be your twin for a day! I kinda feel like we are a little like twins anyways. We are on the phone all day (and yes sometimes night too!), we finish each others sentences and songs, everyone says we look alike, we sound the same on the phone, we have the same laugh, we are the same age (right?), and we both have SPECIAL kids!

You are such an example to me in so many ways! I have always looked up to you!

You had curly hair that I learned how to do mine from.
You know how to deal with special needs and still be so patient!
You looked so beautiful in your wedding dress, I just had to borrow it!
You have such a strong testimony that I hope to have and be able to share like you do!
You are amazing in all your callings!
You have such a great sense of humor!
Thanks for being you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
