Happy Birthday Melanie!

My sister’s birthday was yesterday, so in honor of this momentous occasion, I’m listing a few quirks and reasons why I’m glad she’s my sister and not some one else’s:

  • She has more nicknames than anyone I know – Duncan, Webster, Powder, Little Bic, Atlas and anything else I can think of at the time
  • She watches Jane Austen movies with me while we drink hot tea and eat English cookies
  • She has to buy little boy’s socks because her feet are so small
  • When she uses big words, she thinks she has to define them for me - “as in” tell me what they mean
  • She makes the best tea in the world and it’s always in the refrigerator
  • She can talk and talk and talk; she can be very passionate about certain things
  • She sings all the time
  • She can always tell when I need a hug
  • She loves the Lord above all else
  • She gives the best back rubs
  • She may be small but she has big personality
  • She looks 22 without her glasses but with them she looks 25
  • She’s always researching things on the internet
  • She gives Godly advice and counsel
  • People ask us all the time which one’s older or if we’re twins
  • She treats me like her daughter and spoils me
  • She’s a prayer warrior
  • She speaks in accents with me
  • She does a perfect impression of FB, but she refuses to do it unless Matt and I bug her insistently and she’s in a goofy mood

There’s a lot more, but I’ll stop here.

Melanie, Happy Birthday! I am so blessed to have you as my sister.
