Happy Birthday, Tiawanna!

My dear sister celebrated her "thirty-nine and holding tight" birthday last week on the 21st. We celebrated with her at the House of Pizza and Mom made Tiawanna's favorite birthday cake - a caramel cake that was so good!!! Thanks, Mom! She is not only my sister but my dearest girlfriend. She has been there for me through all my ups and downs in my "39+" years of life. In every step and milestone of entire existence she has been by my side and I can never repay her for all she's done for me. She is amazing and I love her so much. Hope this will be your best year yet, Tiawanna, I love you!
Some of our favorite memories of us together include our trips we've taken together to Cancun and then the trip to Costa Rica. It's great we can laugh about me not knowing where our travel documents were and not knowing if we could exit the country when we were in Costa Rica -- sorry I've been the scatter-brain one! Ha! We've had some really fun times and I'm so thankful for you, even when you "mother" me. Ha! Ha! I remember, too, being so proud to tell people you were my sister when we worked the Parade of Homes at Lake Carolina that year - you always looked so beautiful at work! I am thankful for all the lessons you taught me and for the patience you've always had with me when I'd forget something or make big mistakes...your heart is always in the right place. You inherited our parents' greatest traits - you are such a giving person. Have a fantastic year and may all your wishes come true!

Isn't it wonderful to have a sister? I love mine dearly too. It's hard to believe your sis is 39 because she looks so much younger than that!

My girls need to see this last photo so I can point out to them that I was not the only one wearing the "mom" jean jumper!
