Older Sister

Dear Christine, happy birthday, I love you! You have always been my example, I have always looked up to you and I'm so thankful to be your little sister(: when I grow up, I hope I can be just like you! Thank you for always being so patient with me, it means the world that you would listen to me and make me feel important. Thanks for just talking to me and being my friend (: Thank you for helping me make the most of life and see the whole picture, and letting me grow off of your testimony and experience. I'm so glad you found Harrison, he's an amazing man, and you're sons are the sweetest, you are doing a fantastic job raising them (: Christiney I love you and I hope you have a birthday as incredible as you are (:

my favorite memories with you include:

• going to the zoo in Las Vegas with you, Harrison, Kalee, and James. that ghetto zoo where we got attacked my birds, killed a pigeon and roared with the lions
• making chocolate chip cookies every Sunday (:
• watching you go to prom and homecoming and hoping that when I grow up that I could be half as gorgeous as you!!
• being in the delivery room with you when Fisher was born... (:
• hanging out the through both of the summers you and Jack came!
• you always asking to do my hair and I wouldn't let you... now i wish you could do it everyday!
• when you and Lindsay used to call me beaver and vampire and toothless
• loved having you be a P.E. tutor your senior year when I was in the 3rd grade
• when Harrison would come over while you were babysitting and put us to bed, and Army wrap us in our beds and then tell scripture stories (:

• I loved it when you and Lindsay would come visit from college and we would sit by the pool, yeah those were the days (:
