Be Gentle ......... It's My First Time

Well, this is my first time to .......... blog. I want to introduce my older sister. Her name is Leann. You know the saying "age before beauty"? Well, she'd be the age part. She is 36 and, well ... I'm just 34 (at least for 6 more days!). She is not just my sister, but also my best friend. We get along so well that people will sometimes ask us if we ever fight. To be honest, I think we have had more conflict in the past year than we probably ever have (except maybe when, out of obligation, she had to choose me as her maid of honor). You know what, though? At the end of the day she is still my sister. Family is great isn't it?!
My sister has taught me so much. She gives great parenting advice. Like the time she & Jay (my MAGNIFICENT brother-in-law) told me to beat the kids every day whether they deserve it or not. Now, for any social worker out there -because that previous remark is a joke -, one look at our kids and you will know they've never been beaten or hit or put in time out for that matter. She also gives great nutritional advice, like, "do you want vanilla or chocolate?" She is always looking out for every ones best interest. Which leads me to say that she needs that t-shirt that reads "Help! Stop me before I volunteer again." She is ........... involved to say the least. She teaches bible school, takes neighborhood kids to school, attends her girls sporting events, cooks dinner for those in need, works in the education department at a local hospital, and always comes to my rescue. She has a contagious personality. Someone once called her "boisterous" - I prefer "bubbly". She gives great hugs and makes delicious tortilla soup. She is super special and I am so happy that God gave her to me.
