sister sister

Around here Brent has been working some night shifts and to keep me from being completely alone for the hours he is gone, my baby sister has been sleeping over and hanging out. 

If you would've told me six years ago that my sister and I would hang out regularly and be best friends, I would have looked at you like you were an alien with six heads. She and I are four years apart, so growing up she was definitely a baby to me. She followed me and my friends everywhere, wanted to do everything I did and it was beyond annoying. Once I made it to high school we drifted apart completely. I obviously always loved her and would be there for her when she needed it but I was at an age where I knew better than everyone around me, she was an annoyance I couldn't even handle and I was just a snobby teenager. Boy, am I glad that I grew out of that stage. 

As we have grown up and matured, we have become so undeniably close and I wouldn't change it for the world. My sister is my second half (aside from Brent of course) she listens to me when I need her and she definitely can make me laugh pretty darn hard. She has grown into such a beautiful woman, it makes me all misty eyed seeing how happy she is! She has matured in ways that at her age I never did and it makes me so proud that a bit of her personality is definitely me. Side note for mitch: I am NOT talking about her "princess" ways here ;)

Thank you Pip, for being here for me, for supporting me and for being the best little sister a girl could ask for! I love you to the moon and back xo.

Ps. This beautiful picture was taken a few years ago by my amazing cousin, she is a wicked photographer and you should definitely check out her work here! Thanks Crestina, you rock!
