Sisterly Love

You're Awesome... No You're Awesome...No You're Awesome  (if you are April you will know what this means)  Happy Birthday April!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For today's highlight in Carin's February challenge I couldn't pass up the opportunity to focus on my sister April because it is her birthday today.  Today she turns ....... just kidding!!!  I'll let her tell you if she so chooses.  But let's just say she is OLDER  than me and I'm 38 turning 39 this May.  

What can I say about my sister April?  She's verrrrry mysterious....

Just kidding... here goes...

1.  She is a mother of two boys (one serving a mission in Madagascar and one a teenager).  So right there you know she is awesome because she is surviving raising two boys.  I'm still working on that - we'll see how it pans out 15 years into the future.

2.  She has survived many trials and difficulties and has maintained an awesome sense of humor.

3.  She has me as a sister with my lack of fashion sense, lack of humor, lack of coordination etc. etc. yet is still willing to acknowledge me as family.  Now that's love!!!

4.  April has a great sense of style and knows how to decorate.  She also knows all the staff at Eddie Bauer by name (without their name tags on).

5.  April has a gift for listening and comforting.  She always seems to know the right things to say and has helped me during many difficult times in my life.  

(disclaimer: I can't take credit for the above picture... obviously... I was doing karaoke and had NO IDEA  my sister had serviettes in her ears while I was singing.  Frankly I should have had serviettes in my own ears.  I would have spared myself the pain.)

6.  Although April claims to hate change she is more savy than I am with technological advances such as text messaging, blogging and computer programs.  She started blogging after me and if you look at her page and mine you'll know what I'm talking about.  I have no idea how to add things to my page and do links within a post.  Perhaps I should have her help me???

7.  April is gifted with supersonic mom radar and can tell at any moment if her kids are where they said they would be.  I pray for this gift when my boys are teenagers.  :P  (she also worships Coke machines)

8.  She is witty and always has quick remarks and comebacks.  Sometimes I just turn the t.v. off grab some chips and just listen to her and Brett talk back and forth.  It's like watching an episode of Seinfeld.  

9.  She's a hard worker and puts her all into everything she does whether at her employment, something she is creating, a home project, or self-improvement.

10.  She is beautiful inside and out.
