Big Sister Pride

In this post, I am going to brag about my little sister.

I have the most AMAZING sister anyone could ask for. She is smart, talented, loving, kind hearted, enthusiastic, entertaining, flamboyant, and so much more. 

One of the things that triggered my desire to write this post was going to see Alexa in her play "The Wizard of Oz" last Friday night. She was the Wicked Witch of the West (by choice, she asked to play that role). She was the most AMAZING Wicked Witch I have ever seen. She was funny, her acting was superb, and you could just tell that she loved playing that role. I was so proud of her. I AM so proud of her. I just wanted to watch the play over and over. She truly is the most AMAZING person on the planet. You could tell she had watched the movie 90 gazillion times so that she could play the part just right. 

Another reason I wanted to write this post is because Alexa isn't here this week. She is at summer camp for a week and I miss her like crazy. She has only been gone for 2 days, but her missing presense is felt by everyone in the house. I miss her so much and I would really like this week to go by quickly so she can be back here with me!!! 

My sister and I are polar opposites in almost every way possible. In the way we act, in the way we dress, in the way we talk and some of that is because we are 7 years apart and some of it is just because of who we are. We could not be more different. We can go into the same closet (we share a room) and I will come out in something simple, nice, and matching, but Alexa will come out in a sparkly, unmatching (a good majority of the time), and extreme outfit that no one would think went together, but that everyone can see that she can pull it off with grace and beauty!!! 

However, three things that we will always have as similarities are 1) Our love for Christ, 2) Our love for our family, and 3) Our love for each other. I think those things are more important than all of our differences combined.

I love my sister with all my heart. Don't get me wrong, we fight, argue, everything that normal sisters do; however, she will always be my sister and I will always love her with everything I have. I will always be proud to call her my sister!!!!

I love the way she snores so loud I can't here myself think, the way she can't sleep without a kiss goodnight or her blanket, the way she cries no matter what emotion she is feeling (happy, sad, excited, etc.), the way her face lights up when our mom walks through the door, her sense of style, her love of Christ, her frustration when she can't walk in our room because of all of my stuff, the way she comforts me when she doesn't even know what is wrong, and so much more.

I will always have special bond with Alexa because she is my one and only sister. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!!!!
