Hi, Kate!

Happy birthday, Kate!  You're the best!

I know it snowed in your part of the world today, but maybe some visions of our recent cruise together will warm you up?

As Birthday Week draws to a close, I can't help but look forward to this time next year because there's a good chance that I'll finally get to spend it at home with my family.  My fingers are crossed!

My Sister's Birthday

Today is my big sister's birthday.  Happy birthday, Kate!!!

I made the above picture by arranging rhinestones on my notebook and setting it out in the sunshine so that it would sparkle.  fun, huh?

Anyway, here's a photo of me and Kate on the first day of school when we were little kids:

Even back then she was super cool with her sweeping bangs and her denim shoulder bag, while I was so nervous about the new school year that I was visibly on the verge of tears.  That pretty much sums up our personalities to this day.  It's funny how life is: everything and nothing changes all at once.

Now we're all grown up and Kate is nailing it as a big fancy lawyer in Washington DC, and I hope she's having a fabulous birthday!
