Happy Birthday Girl!

Happy 31st birthday to the best sister ever! You Rock Jackie!!

Having a sister has always been a blessing to me! I am so glad my girls get to have a sister to do all the fun things that we have done together. Here are some fun memories for you girl:

*Saturday morning chores with New Kids on the Block "Oh, Oh, Oh,O-h, the right stuff"

*Hey Jackie, did you know trash men make a lot of money? (Jackie-But they only work one day a week! ) I LOVE THAT ONE!

*That crusty Ford Escort with the best turquoise paint job on the block!

*Wild Hearts Can't be Broken - We sure loved that movie with good old Sonora Webster. They sure don't make a good movie about diving horses anymore, do they?

*Fights that always ended with one person pinned and the other letting the drool fall. Why did we do that? I do have to say that you definitely got more of my spit on your face because of these long grasshopper legs.

*MASH(Mansion, apartment, shack, house)- We loved that game! Played it like it was truly real! I mean, how upset did we get every time our count landed us on shack?

*You with your light issue! Dad taking your light bulb wattage down because you refused to turn your lights off when you were finished. Your light just got dimmer and dimmer and finally you ended up in the dark to learn your lesson. You would bring your little clothes into my room in the morning and have to turn my light on when I was still sleeping to see if you would match or not! SAVE ENERGY!

* Putting together Ashley's Graduation slideshow when we had to time that music just so to flip those pictures. Things are so much easier now, aren't they? We practiced that thing 100 times or more. I will never forget the song- "I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors and that's why I love you!"

*Being pregnant together! That was crazy! But hey, misery does love company!! I will never forget us waddling around places together and poor Nic having 2 pregnant wives while Josh was off at war. What a crazy nine months that was. Too many memories to post here!

I can still see us now sitting at Tuttle Mall near the Coldstone sharing a bottle of water. We talked that whole mall sick as dogs with those killer headaches until finally, I decided drinking some water actually might give us some relief. Notice how it was my idea to get the water. We sat and drank that water like we had never had water before. It was like an epiphany or something. Like hey maybe we do need water to make these bodies function properly!!

WELL I hope you all enjoy these fun memories and maybe you think of some own from your families!! I could go on for days listing fun memories Jackie and I have shared but the best thing about her is that she is such a great giver, she has a beautifully kind heart, and she is so good at teaching me how to relax! She always knows how to calm me down when I get in my Crazy Mode! God sure blessed me with a great sister and he blessed Natalie with a great Mommy!

Happy Birthday!
