Sisters

No matter where life takes us, they will always be there.

Sisters

My sisters are my best friends. Yes, we do have other friends, we don't spend every waking moment together, our personalities are not identical, and we drive each other a little crazy at times, but I wouldn't change the relationship that I have with them for anything.

Growing up, I was closest to my younger sister, since we were only two years apart. Our older sister if four years older than me and six years older than my younger sister, so we didn't become as close as we are until more recently. When we were little, I always wanted to be just like my older sister. In my eyes, she was the most fashionable, the coolest, and the prettiest person I knew. And I would have given anything for the opportunity to hang out with her. My younger sister and I always played together, we always wore matching clothing, we shared a bedroom, and I'd admit, I bossed her around a lot.

Both of my sisters are very dear to my heart, and I love each of them for their many beautiful and unique qualities. Somewhere in between borrowing their clothes and having a confidant, having sisters, and the privilege of sharing life with both of them has brought me far more blessings than I deserve. My sisters are a blessing from God, and I couldn't be more proud and thankful for their lives and the impact that they both have had on me. They both teach me to be a better version of myself, and they do so through their example. They encourage me in my endeavors and seek my encouragement. They bring joy and laughter into my life. They put up with me even when they find me annoying. They inspire me to grow in my relationship with God. They live life and share their lives with me. And they love me.

Now, my older sister is married, I'm in college, and my youngest sister is more than half way done with her high school career. It crazy how we went from being little girls dressing up as if we were characters from Little House on the Prarie, to young adults making plans for our futures and going on adventures.

My sister will forever be my go-to people, and I know that My sisters are my best friends.

Kendra and Anna, thank you for all that you do, thank you for being godly women, and thank you for experience and memories to last me a lifetime.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
