and to my favorite sister. in honor of the twenty-five years that you now are...and in honor of how much i miss you...and in honor of the art of procrastinating all the stuff i should be doing but don't want to be...i give you...
25 things that we could be doing right now if you were here (not trying to imply that being here is better than being there...but there is diet mt. dew here (yum). and taco seasoning (eww). and target. so i think it pretty much goes without saying)
1. drinking a cold _______ on the back deck. (the dew or a daiquiri...it's your birthday...you get to choose!)
2. sharing what God is teaching us.
3. watching sytycd on dvr. and then trying out the choreography. and then commenting in the chatroom (dancin'kelito. holla.)
4. laughing about favorite memories.
5. working out with jillian. ok, so YOU working out with jillian. i would be cheering you on.
6. ganging up on charlie. by way of multiple verbal body slams.
7. hanging out with our friends. monica, chandler, joey, phoebe, ross, and rachel.
8. taking a walk.
9. sharing a smoothie and bread samples at the juice shop/great harvest.
10. breaking it down to whatever craziness is in your itunes library.
11. shopping. "ooh, women be shoppin'!"
12. singing everyone's favorite..."the sheep song".
13. dying our hair. ok, so dying YOUR hair. we'll read the instructions and make sure hair loss is not a potential side effect.
14. eating sour patch kids till our tongues burn (or at least till charlie's does).
15. going somewhere. anywhere. and getting lost on the way.
16. comparing books we've been reading.
17. playing with maddie and her "waterandsandtable".
18. watching taylor do new things every day.
19. cooking one of your many specialties. maybe not the homemade oatmeal cookies lest they end up in lily's treat jar again.
20. watching "grease". and eating popcorn and skittles.
21. talking on the phone. seriously. even if you were in the same room with me.
22. getting a pedicure.
23. eating boulevard bagels for at least 2 out of 3 meals a day. (i know, technically you couldn't do that here...but a girl can dream, right?)
24. lying in the sun. on the beach. all day. (while i'm dreaming...)
25. and generally just enjoying each other's company. in the same room. so close i could put my feet on you. ha!
love you, little sister and best friend. hope your day is so happy.

I agree, best, sweetest sisters ever. So fun that maybe one day Maddie and Taylor will be just like ya'll! Kel, great post, wish you would do it more!
