Meine Schwester

I talked to my sister last night. It had been a while.

We both know and understand that married life keeps you pretty busy but I still miss talking to her and seeing her more than once every couple of months. Liana and I haven't always been close. In our Jr. High/High School days I pretty much thought she was ruining my social life. Truth is- she kept me from doing a LOT of stupid things. I still made mistakes but she was a good example to me...even when I didnt want to admit it.

My sister moved away for colllege and I would go visit her.

I remember exactly what each one of her apartments looked like in College(she moved a lot!!) I remember visiting her one time in Cheyenne and we ate way too much cookie dough and pickles that we made ourselves sick. One time I went to visit her when she lived in Riverton and I remember painting our toenails and doing face masques.

In 2005 my sister and I became roomates.

This time I had never been to her apartment. I had never even been to Nevada, but I knew it

was time for a change. Time for a new path, a new start. And I knew that if she was there then

everything would be ok. She could help me through my trials. And she did. In 2005 our relationship changed. For the best. She became my best friend.

There is nothing I could or want to keep from her. She helped me find my way and we had FUN doing it. I remember for my birthday once she came in early in the morning and woke me up with a cupcake and a singing candle!! We moved alot and had a lot of roomates who ended up hating us(dont really know why!)but it never broke our bond.

My sister has faced many trials in her life.

She has faced cold hearted people and has had friends betray her...and yet, through all of these things she still stands strong. We are told that we will have trials in this life, and they are not to punish us, but rather to see how we will handle them. If we handle them well, they will make us stronger and we will be better for them. She is strong. She handles them well.

I miss living close to my dear sister

so much but I know that she is where she is suppose to be for the moment. I am greatful to her for the example she has been to me over the years. I am who I am today because of her.
