Today is my little sisters birthday! I wanted to write in honor of how much I am grateful for her! God has blessed me so much with this girl, it's just amazing! It is incredible how much I look up to her, even though she is younger in age then I am. On the day she was born my mom tells the story of me walking in and seing her and saying, "Who got her out?" implying that she needed to go back where she came from. :) BUT, after all of our life experiences leading up to today, I can say, "Who got her out?" implying that I never knew I could have so much fun with one single person. My favorite thing about McKenzie, is the way that we laugh at the EXACT same things. (Not to mention our laughs sound identical.) Take for example a room of people, turn on the tv, we would laugh at something ridiculous, that no one else in the room would find funny, but we do! I also LOVE the memories we have on Sunday afternoons in the kitchen cleaning up after lunch! It makes me smile just thinking about all the fun we had, and trouble we usually got in for being WAY to loud! And, even though most of our highschool relationship, we fought over who had on who's shirt with out asking, at the end of the day, we would do make-overs, and goofy pictures, sit and talk on the bed for hours, and laugh at things our parents did (usually mom, sorry mom) that only we could understand! I am so glad that God allowed me to have a friend that will last a life-time! Happy 20th Birthday Kenzie!
You are truly blessed to have love and be given love from a beautiful family. I recall Reba always telling me what was going on in yours and your sisters life(while she was still connected)and sensing the love that she shared with you and your family. That love will never leave your life-it is helping to make you who you are becoming just as the love of God is also having such a strong impact on and in you life and world in which you are participating daily. Continue to share that love with your beautiful contageous smile. I love you.
