Happy Belated Birthday

Since I was in the bed all day yesterday I was not able to write about my wonderful sister's birthday!
Yesterday was my sister's 27th birthday!

When we were little Kelly and I always had our good moments and our bad moments. I remember I always wanted to spend time with her when she had friends over. Her friends never seemed to mind, but boy did Kelly mind. I remember I would get on her nerves by following them around everywhere.

As we grew older, she started letting me hang out with her friends. Not only is Stacey Kelly's friend but she also treated me like a friend. I remember one time we went camping and Stacey talked to me more than Kelly! Looking back I realize that it didn't bother Kelly that I was hanging out with her friends.

The summer before my 10th grade year, I remember spending all my time with Kelly and her friends. She would let me tag along with her to go anyway. This was when I first realized that she was my best friend. We enjoyed hanging out together and we told each other many things!

When Kelly started dating Andy, I remember there were many times I became the third wheel and went on a date with them because I didn't want to spend the evening with my parents. I thank you Kelly for allowing me to tag along with ya'll.

Now that we are both married we are stronger than ever! There aren't many days that go by that we either don't call each other or email each other. She is truly my best friend and I love her to death! I have enjoyed watching her become a wonderful mother and she is a great role model for me.

I always get told that we have an "odd" family because we are so close and love to spend time together but I wouldn't trade those moments for anything!


Happy Birthday Kelly! Thank you for being a great friend to me! I love you!

Happy Birthday Kelly! I don't think your family is at all "odd", I think you are blessed. I would love to be a part of a family that is as close as you guys. Hopefully Brynn and Addie will one day be as close as the 2 of you!
