oh geez louise, i am so far behind. this post is coming a little late in the game, but i don't want my sister to think that i wasn't thinking of her on her special day. almost a month ago my sister turned 16 years old. in her honor ...
sierra
s pecial. i know it sounds generic, but 16 years ago this "surprise" "sister" {both s'es} showed up in my life. i didn't know that having a sister could be so wonderful.
i ndescribable. this post won't even begin to do my sister justice. she is funny. talented. full of life. confident. bold. outgoing. so many wonderful things ...
e nergetic. waaay more than i could ever hope to be.
r adiant. the girl glows all the time.
r are. you will never find another girl like this one.
a rtsy. don't let her fool you; she can draw, paint, charcoal, and many others, incredibly well. she's also modest when it comes to her art, however. it is beautiful.
and since it was her sweet 16, i'll list 16 other things about sierra that make her so fabulous.
01. unlike me, sierra is able to play pool; she has even placed in the top three in the last few sessions of league.
02. ... loves all things bright, bold, and beautiful.
03. ... has an incredible fashion sense.
04. ... is incredibly photogenic.
05. ... is a social butterfly.
06. ... always remains true to herself.
07. ... understands what it means to be a true friend.
08. ... can't wait to live in a big city.
09. ... could be a fashion designer with the artistic talents and her love of fashion, but isn't sure this is the path she wants to pursue anymore.
10. ... has given me a glimpse into what it must be like to be a parent; not that she needs a third parent by any means. living here with her the past few months, however, has shown me how it feels to be a parent when your child is out late {with permission}, & not being able to fall asleep until they are at home safely.
11. ... used to call herself "erra reach" when she was a little girl ... a nickname that stuck with her for quite some time.
12. ... is hilarious. she could be a comic.
13. ... has a great love for music.
14. ... knows how to be a girly-girl, but can kick it with the guys any day of the week.
15. ... has brought so much joy to the lives of our family and every person with whom she comes in contact.
16. ... is just an all-around, wonderful kid sister, who is growing up beautifully.
