Growing up, little sister and I always shared a room. We were very close and there wasn't many times that we weren't happy about sharing a room together. We loved it! There were so many nights when we would stay up talking and dad would come in and tell us to be quiet. Our conversations were often based around our future and our favorite topic - our dream homes! We would discuss everything from the color of our house to the jewelery boxes that would sit on our dressers when we were "old".
As we got older, our topics changed from dreams homes and jewelery boxes to boys. There were countless times where she would "act like the boy" and rehearse with me what I was going to say the next day at school to the boy I liked. Other times she would give me the "worst case scenario" of a situation to help me practice my reactions.
I can't count the times we changed our room around for a "new look" and how many ideas we had for decor. I think it was more fun to plan design than to actually do it. We just loved sharing a room!
I guess we loved it so much that we had to live together in college as well! We had our own apartment for awhile and had so much fun decorating that as well! Cooking together, having people over for dinner and get-togethers, our movie nights - those were the days!
There were also those other times...the times where one of our hearts would break. As soon as she heard my heart was breaking, or I heard hers was, there we were...right there. Supporting, comforting, and our heart breaking as well. We were connected...always feeling for the other. When she hurts, I hurt. When she's happy, I'm happy. I love her!
She's my little sister and I am so lucky to have her in my life! Now...getting married caused us to live apart; however, she's just down the street! I don't know what I'd do with out her!
Love you little sister! Happy Birthday!
