Sisters...

Today, Aug 5, is my sister's Birthday. Anna has been my best friend and companion since the day I was born...(up until I married my dear husband, now she is #2... but she is still #1 speed dial on my cell phone.)

I love my sister! I know I don't tell her enough. She is amazing.

We are so different in so many ways it's a miracle we are so close. But I guess 20 years of sharing a room with each other helps.

I'm looking forward to school starting again so we can resume our morning phone calls. Alex is a University Instructor and is home during the summer, but during the school year Anna and I talk on the phone almost every morning.



She is the cutest pregnant girl I've ever seen. She
is due in the next couple weeks and is still so beautiful.

I wish I could put into words what she means to me... I am crying just thinking about what a wonderful sister she has been, (and some of you might say... "Melissa you always cry", which is true,; I have always been more emotional than Anna,) but when she left for her mission I knew that just because she didn't cry like I did, she would still miss me as much as I would miss her.

It was hard having her gone, but I'm glad she was willing to come home a month early for my wedding! That meant a lot to me!

She has a tough road ahead this coming year... Dejah will still be in school only part time and she will have Mycha 3 yrs old, and Logan 14 months, and a new baby at home. But Anna is an amazing mother and I know she can handle it. And Alex is so wonderful, and always a big help to her! I'm so glad they found each other!

Anna, I don't have a way with word on blogs like you do... but I hope you know how much I love you. I hope you have a nice birthday today! Remember, you can call me for anything... I'll always be there for you, just as you have been my entire life! Thanks for being my sister!
