To my people,

As time has passed and we grow up more each day, I have realized just how precious you guys are to me. A sister's relationship is different from every other relationship you'll have in life.

It is unconditional, comfortable, and truly genuine.

No matter what I do or say, I never have any doubt that you two will still be there at the end of the day, supporting me and rooting for me. You both always know what to say in any given situation, and will give me your honest opinions. There is no one else that I can go to for the amount of honesty that you guys can give me (in the best way possible, of course!).

It's nice having two people that know you even better than you know yourself sometimes. It would be hard not to, having been through it all together. Being each other's personal stylists for dances and proms, family vacations full of funny stories and jokes to look back on, shopping trips, jam out sessions on our drives to and from school, and always being each other's biggest supporters in all the sports and clubs we did.

Something I am most grateful for in life is knowing that the three of us have seen each other at our highest points, most awkward phases in the middle, and lowest points, yet never have judged one another. Instead, we just want the absolute best for each other. You are the first people I want to tell things to, and the people I share the most memories with. Put simply, life would really just stink without my built-in best friends.

Ky: To this day I still have yet to meet someone as cool and confident as you. Your fun-loving personality is contagious to whoever is around, and you always know how to turn any situation, even the most boring, into something fun. Thanks for putting up with my annoying habits of stealing clothes and always forgetting to unplug the straightener. I'm thankful we still have the friendship we do, even with you being in North Carolina while I'm living in Maryland. I've always looked up to you and that is something that will never change. Keep being the badass that you are, I'll forever be jealous of your carefree attitude on life!

Alli: No one can read me better than you. In my defense, I do have a pretty bad poker face, yet you never fail to know exactly what's going through my head. Just one look and both of us can burst out laughing. There is nothing I am more thankful for than the fact that I get to have a little sister to teach everything I have learned to. From boys, makeup, clothes, and advice in general, I appreciate our talks more than you know. Even though you are younger than me, I look up to you for your selfless and warm heart. I can't wait to see how great you are going to do in life!!!

I love you guys and can't wait to see you both so soon!

El
