Baby Sister, Little Sister, Sister

Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister, Erin!

19 years ago I was blessed with a baby sister – and even though I asked my parents for a toy that was more “fun” when she was only weeks old, I’m glad they decided to keep her around. I couldn’t be more proud of this gorgeous girl!

Through fights, tears, laughs, smiles, talks, secrets and more, she has grown from my  little shadow to an adult. I remember complaining that she was always tagging along, and now we have to coordinate our busy schedules to plan a 15 minute phone conversation.

I no longer feel like I have a right to call her my baby sister, but simply my sister. Next month she joins me in Columbus as a buckeye freshman – and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter of her life.

23 years…and more to come

Today I turn 23 – and I must say, I don’t think I could be more blessed! Even through stressful weeks – days like today that make me realize what a great group I have surrounding me.

WIthin 23 year I graduated from high school, graduated from The Ohio State University, participated in the Walt Disney World College Program, lived in Florida for nine month,  grew into a young adult, decided to return to school to pursue my MBA and more!

Even better, I feel like I am just starting to get-going in life! I can’t wait to see what the coming years bring.

 

this was sent to me in a birthday email from Ms. Ellen – thanks for the smile!

 

Thank you to everyone for the birthday love and wishes!
