it's her birthday....

well technically, it is our birthday, But i want to do a big ol' shout out to the greatest girl i know.... So HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER! it has been the strangest, hardest, longest year of my life having you live clear across the world...But you've almost made it, and i admire you and look up to your strength, and positive attitude through all of life's struggles, especially those thrown at you while living in Brazil. Words will never be able to tell you how seriously amazing i think you are. everyday i'm amazed. Most of all, i am so grateful that you became a mother before i did, because you have set an incredible example for me...thanks for paving the way. I hope you know how much i love you!! i am counting down the days till you come home. But for today, i hope you have a great one. LOVE LOVE LOVE you.
