Happy Birthday
today to my little sister, Mandy!
She's not so little, though. She's 26 today! : )
She's actually the middle sister.
She's been going through a pretty tough time lately. A lot of things in her life are changing. She's pretty much started fresh. She is trying to buy a house for her and her little girl. She just got a new car. She is working hard and trying to make a new life for herself and my beautiful neice. I admire her courage and her strength. She is a very independent woman and very strong willed! She is the type of person who puts her mind to something and no matter what the cost, she WILL accomplish the task at hand.
A funny story of she and I...one time we were planning a shopping trip. Our husbands were both out and about doing their own thing and as we were headed out of town, actually only a few miles from my house, we had a flat tire on her van. Well, I had never changed a flat tire, and didn't figure I could change one on anyhow! So, I proceeded to pick up my cell phone and begin to make the necessary SOS calls to anyone close by who could come help! I called in-laws, cousins, neighbors, etc...I even called my husband who was about 45 minutes away. *LOL* NOBODY answered. The whole time I am on my phone in the van, she is underneath getting the spare tire loose and then she started taking the old tire off. Finally an uncle drove by and he stopped to help, but by then she nearly had the task complete!
That is a take charge kinda woman!
Anyhow, I wanted to pay a little tribute to my sister today on her birthday! She's a great sister, and at times we may not see eye to eye, but in the end we know that we are always going to be there for one another no matter what happens. That is what true sisters do! We stick together no matter how mad we may get or how stupid we think that the other one is being! Heh heh
I love you, sister and I hope you had a great day. I'm glad you liked your flowers and hope you like your gift!
