I wish to thank my sister who is going house shopping for me tomorrow. I am so excited to hear her report. She is looking at 5 different homes. I think in so many ways that only a sister could "shop" for a house for a person. I know she will be honest in telling me what features I will have a love/hate relationship with.
I can't tell you how excited I am to be returning to live near my sister again. We do not always get on fabulously and yes, sometimes we fight (just a little:) but we have many fun times together, too. The fun times far outweigh the difficult ones.
Here are ten reasons why I am glad she is my sister:
l. She is a fountain of talent. She doesn't sing or dance that I am aware of, but she does play the piano, writes well, is humorous and understands computers while I only do one of those things with any real ability.
2. She doesn't try to talk me into things that I don't want to do while I on the other hand am always trying to convince her to do "something". Nina, do these words sound familiar, "It'll be fun!"
3. She cheers me when I am sad.
4. She doesn't insult the way I dress or look. She is complimentary and encouraging especially when I feel old or am having a bad hair day.
5. We laugh at things that only sister's laugh at: like things our mother says such as "Are you wearing that?" with a tone that implies you really aren't going to be wearing it even if you were."
6. We both love Longabergers, Americana, America and shopping.
7. She gets very excited when I tell her about my latest "good deal" and she never says I shouldn't have bought it.
8. She respects my opinion even when I don't deserve it.
9. She shares all of her good ideas with me.
10. She cooks fun things and my son loves her scones.
Thank you, Nina, for being a great sister. Thank you for house shopping for me! Thank you for praying and caring about all of my family. I love you. Nina,2
