MY -NOT SO- LITTLE SISTER

This is one of my favorite people in the whole world!

This is my little sister, Rachel! Isn't she the most beautiful girl in the land?! Of course all of my 5 sisters are beautiful and amazing, but for today, Rachel is on my mind. She just had a birthday this week and she is not so little anymore... She is getting married in a few weeks! She's all womanly and in love. It's fun to see her so happy and lovey-dovey with Zak.

I was remembering when we were little girls...
Chrissy, Rachel and I shared a room. We had a daybed with a trundle bed underneath. I got the top to myself (being the oldest) and Chrissy and Rachel shared the bottom. Once Chrissy got a little bit older, she realized it wasn't fun sharing her bed anymore. So our parents made us take turns sleeping with Rachel every other night. Chrissy and I would get so mad when it was our turn to share. Poor little Rachel was left out and bed less. She ended up sleeping on a little pad on the floor. So sad.

Of course, she grew up, eventually got her own regular size bed and now we all want to spend our days and nights with her. :)

She is the best person and an amazing sister. We tell eachother secrets, swap advice and always laugh together. She understands me and she loves me anyway... I don't know what I'd do without her!

It's funny that you have a post about your sister because the other day we were talking to Brigham about something and he says,"I have a girlfriend in California!" I said,"oh ya, who" he said "Rachel" At first I thought who is Rachel and then I remembered. I think she is his first love.
It is fun having sisters even though mine is 9 years older then me . She has always been there for me.

I love Rachel too. It's so fun that she is getting married. I can't wait to meet Zak.

When we were little all three of us girls shared a king size bed. Rebecca and I got the ends and little Kelli was stuck in the middle. We had a rule that who ever got in bed last had to turn out the light. We would all lie there sure that is wasn't our turn....I can know very comfortably sleep with the lights on (I wasn't gonna be the one that got up to turn them off (smile)).
