I think God knew what he was doing when He gave me a twin sister. The reason I'm writing this, is because my sister just moved out and into her own house with a really good friend of ours.

My sister is my best friend. Growing up with my sister was awesome. We shared the same room up until my brother moved off to Auburn last fall. When we shared a room, we would always get in trouble at night because we were either talking or laughing too loud. We tell each other everything. I go to her with all of my problems. She's someone I go to for wise advice on anything and everything. We may be the same age, but I look up to her. She's someone I couldn't imagine my life without. We love to go shopping together, go on fun, little road trips together, and listen to music and sing at the top of our lungs. (Even though we can't sing that well.)

We've been through so much together, like our parents' divorce, the loss of family members, school, the loss of friends and so much more. I couldn't imagine not having my sister by my side through life's trials and tribulations.

If you have a sister, don't take her for granted. She's someone you can always count on, especially if you're having a bad day.

Throughout my school career, I usually was always by my sisters side until college started. I know my freshmen year of college, I started at AUM by myself and I went to small groups at my church by myself. I was so scared doing all of it alone. I'm not really the social butterfly type. I usually keep to myself most of the time and it's especially hard to make friends. I learned that not having my sister by my side I was more outgoing and I've met some of the greatest people through my small groups. Even though she didn't start off my freshmen year of college with me, I knew I could always count on her for advice and encouragement. I know she only moved 30 minutes away, but it's still weird to know that she's not at home anymore.

So to all those with sisters out there: cherish those moments with her. Make memories together and never forget to tell her how much she means to you.
