faith's birthday

today, my little sister is another year older. it's incredible to see the changes to look back over the years and remember holding her when she was a tiny baby - i was afraid to hold her, afraid she'd break or something. i hadn't been around babies before and i certainly didnt like it from her example...she cried and cried the first 6 weeks! she had three regular activities - eat, sleep, cry...well, more like scream. she was doing one of those three at any given time, honest!

i am thankful for her, but she has taught me lots. one of the major lessons being not to have kids until you're emotionally and financially stable, lol. i learned really quick that babies seem to just sap stability right out from under those who are stable, and can only imagine what it does to others. i think it was within the first several months of her young life i decided to wait at least five years after marriage to even think about having a kid! haha poor mother dear, if t and i think alike she's got another several years without grandchildren!

she has been such a blessing to watch grow from a baby, to a toddler, now to a young lady. she's great at everything she does, especially karate! she looks like t (everyone says she looks exactly like her), but acts so much like me - the little rebel! lol she very kind-hearted yet doesn't shy from disagreements or confontations.

i couldn't ask for a better sister! i love you, girlfriend!
